Description of Work: I experienced fantastic professionalism from John and staff, he helped in a tricky time situation to alter a wedding dress for an out-of-state bride on a short timeline, and didn't stop until we were totally satisfied. Very reasonable prices and excellent workmanship!

Description of Work: When I picked the clothes up, they did not even have me try them on to see if they fit correctly. |My suit jacket sleeves were hemmed but they close up the small slit on the sleeve cuff. Other tailors have worked to keep the original style of the jackets. |Otherwise, they did a good job.

Description of Work: This was a fantastic experience. Everything about it was perfect! I would definitely use them and refer them to everyone. I had tailoring done on my St. John outfits (expensive knits) and I wouldn't trust them to just anyone.

Description of Work: I purchased a sleeveless Mother of the Bride dress. I wanted sleeves put in the dress and happened to find a top with the identical lace sleeves as the lace on my dress! Took both to John's Tailors and asked if they could take the sleeves off the top and put them on the sleeveless dress along with hemming the chiffon skirt. It turned out beautifully!! One would never know the sleeves didn't come with the dress!! It was flawless!! This will be my go to tailor from now on!!

The owner had me try on the suit, he marked as needed and wrote up the bill. I was out of there in 10 minutes. I brought it in on a Wednesday and he suggested pickup the next week. But I explained that I needed it for a funeral on the Sunday, so he said it would be ready Saturday. I returned Saturday morning, tried it on, and took it home. The work was excellant and he was graciously accomodating to my short turnaround request. I know where to bring my next tailoring job!

I had a custom three piece suit and a custom shirt made. I had it made for my wedding, but I plan on wearing it a lot in the future. I chose the fabric that I liked, then after many measurements I had to wait a few weeks before I came back in for the finishing adjustments. The workmanship and fit is excellent. The price is definitely high, but it is worth every penny to have a great suit that fits you perfectly.

The owner was not there when I came in for the fitting; the tailor could not give me an estimate at that time of what the alterations would cost, and asked me to call back. Now I realize that I should have, but had no idea that the total would cost more than the dress itself. I would have gone somewhere else, or not allowed any work to be done before I got an estimate. When I compared my costs w/those of other bridesmaids from even New York City, the most expensive, with 2-3 fittings on top of it all, was only about $65.
Description of Work: Alterations to take up the shoulder straps, take in the sides slightly, and hem of a bridesmaid dress.

When I brought my items in for alterations, I had an idea of what I thought needed to be done. After taking a look, he gave his professional opinion, which was different than mine. I took his advice and am very pleased with the result. I believe he really has a tailor's eye. The clothing items looked great; work was cleanly done. Very professional, and good service. A bit expensive, but my impression is they can be trusted to do things right.
Description of Work: I had several pairs of pants and three skirts altered for better fit. They were all taken in around the hips; skirts were tapered slightly.

I found John quite charming. He was very helpful in pointing out work that needed to be done and things I thought needed done, but I could see he was correct that they didn't! He was very polite, cost appropriate, and the work was delivered on time. I will certainly take clothes that need altering to John again. He seems to be a real find!
Description of Work: I had a number of slacks and some jackets all of which needed attention, primarily shortening.

JOHN SHORTENED THE SLEEVES ON COAT AND FINELY TAILORED A FITTED DRESS IN THE BUST AND BODICE AND TOOK UP THE SHOULDERS. THE JOB WAS DONE WHEN HE SAID IT WOULD BE AND THEY FIT TO A TEE. HE DOES BEAUTIFUL, MASTERFUL WORK, AND IS HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL WHEN WORKING ON DISCREET AREAS. I THOUGHT HIS PRICE WAS A STEAL FOR THE QUALITY.
