King’s Park Tailoring

When I dropped off my coats I showed the lady the stains I was concerned about and that I needed a new button. She said it was fine and that I could pick it up Wednesday. Wednesday came and I decided to call @ 5pm to verify the closing time. Instead of answering the question she kept asking what time I would be there. Finally she said 5:30 and again asked how soon I would get there.
When I come into the store I saw only one person. She brought me the coats and charged me for them. I looked at the coats and I noticed still that there were still some stains, the missing button, and a lot of lint. When I addressed my concerns she snapped at me and complained about how much time she spent on my coats «30 minutes!» And that was all they could do. She seemed more concerned about closing up than delivering decent customer service. I’m very disappointed. I will no longer drop off my clothes here.

When I go to a tailor, I want a real tailor. Not someone who does alterations at a dry cleaner, but someone who specializes in complex alterations like narrowing shoulders on a suit. Kings Park Tailor is what I was looking for. They know what they’re doing, and they’ve done a great job with suits and slacks for me over the last two years. They even found some weak spots in the fabric on one suit, called to let me know about them, and then took care of it for me.

I went here in hopes of getting my suit jacket tailored for an upcoming wedding. Let me preface by saying I’m a novice to the tailoring world, but I did my due diligence and researched what fair pricing was to get the sleeves adjusted, back fitted, waist adjusted, etc. I had a woman help me out, who was not very welcoming, but I can deal with that. What’s not fine is the fact that she tried to charge me $ 145 to get my suit jacket tailored. When I told her I was looking to spend around $ 50-​$ 60, she scoffed at me and said no. I went to another tailor the next day and got it done for $ 60, no problem, but trying to charge $ 145 to tailor just a suit jacket is absurd.
I’m not questioning the quality of the their work, but rather the gross overcharge that I got done for MUCH CHEAPER someplace else and the poor customer service I recieved. Be wary if you’re not familar with this place.

Update, they’re still a solid tailor, but their prices have gone up and the man that used to run it seems to have been replaced by a woman who isn’t as friendly. If prices were still as low or the service was as good I would still make the trip, but I won’t likely be out that way again as it’s a 30 minute drive now. 3 stars because of the good service the first time, would be 2 otherwise.

I drive from DC. They are that good for men’s tailoring. Tapering slacks, taking coats in and letting out at the back, taking coats sleeves in at the shoulder. They know how to make it look right. Work is always perfect and timely. When you have a suit or coat that cost you hundreds or more i want a guarantee of professional tailoring and I get to that here.

Very friendly and helpful. Did my minor tailoring work with good quality at a very reasonable price.

Magicians! I took a sequined silk 80’s dress in that I bought at a thrift store as well as a sketch of what I wanted done to the dress. They took off the sleeves and made the dress look just like my sketch, as well as took it out a bit to give it a better fit and put in a higher quality metal dress zipper. It fits perfectly and looks exactly like I wanted. All the alterations cost $ 110. I say it’s the cheapest, most expensive dress I bought, but it looks great! And they did it in about 10 days. :)

I used Kings Park Tailor at the recommendation of a friend, and I was incredibly happy with both the service, speed and pricing. We need several dresses altered quickly for my brother’s wedding, and Mr. Chong was very accommodating. One of the bridesmaids needed her dress in a day, and he did it (without charging extra!).
I highly recommend Mr. Chong no matter what alterations you need done!

the man knows what he’s doing. I took a few skirts and a dress to him that were a size or two too big. He took them in and now the fit perfectly.
