Best Tailoring

I had the sleeves on a couple of suit jackets shortened and a loose trench coat taken in. They did a wonderful job and when one of the jackets didn’t quite fit, they redid the work with no trouble. I think the owners are a husband and wife team– they are both very nice, professional, good at what they do, and their pricing is very competitive. There is another woman who works the front desk once in awhile– she is a little bossy and her manner can be off putting, but for the most part, she doesn’t detract from what is overall a very good business.

Professional, good pricing, and did a great job on fixing a custom suit I had made overseas. Shoulder area and pads were too big and they fixed it to perfection. Glad I found them !

Great service! Very speedy. They always do a great job with my slacks. Only downside is the parking lot which is a bit of a hassle getting in and out of. But, parking aside, I’d highly recommend it.

Excellent tailoring. They do great work for a great price.

Just got 2 more suit jackets worked on. Again, masterful work. Very pleased. One he brought the shoulders in and the other, brought the chest and stomach in. Not easy fixes but both came out great. Will keep going back!

I wish I could give negative stars to this place… I should have ran out when they pulled bait and switch on me… I wanted to shorten sleeves on my suit jacket and a dress shirt. I called them and they quoted me $ 15 for the shirt and $ 30 for the jacket. Very good prices…
When I was done, they handed me a bill for $ 60!!! When I questioned it, they told me since I asked them to take off the length from the shoulder vs sleeves, it was 15 extra for the shirt! I was not happy about it, but since I already drove there and took measurements I decided to bite on that bait. Wish I did not.
When I came to pick up my stuff week later, I saw the jacket… instead of 3 buttons, I saw only 1!!! When I asked what the hell happened, they gave me all this run around on what they did and how they usually alter the jackets by taking off from the bottom instead of shoulders, yada yada…
So in the end, I have ruined suit jacket, I was over charged for a shirt alternation and needless to say I would NEVER set up foot in that horrible place.
BEWARE!!!

Nice couple, did a great job on my 3 piece suite which was nerve racking… my girlfriend said I look like James Bond so I’m sold. i have another suit that I don’t wear cause it’s too baggy, I’ll take it to them soon. Very happy!

The staff is friendly, professional and knowledgable. I had them hem a cotton dress on an angle (short in front and long in the back) — they did an excellent job and understood what I wanted. I also had a suit hemmed and sleeves taken out. They are not the cheapest tailor, but you get excellent FAST service. They were able to hem my dress in 24 hours.

I love this place! I had a pair of pants that were very oddly sized, and they made them fit. The final technique was a little different than the way they were originally pinned, but I feel like that’s a huge compliment to the person that ultimately sat down to do the sewing and revised the plan just a bit, because they fit perfectly on a *very* imperfect figure. Definitely worth the price– not cheap, but reflective of careful work. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It’s just a little blue building by the side of the highway, almost directly across from Pan Am shopping center. Parking lot really not much of a problem although it is small (just make a right turn going out to make things easier) –better to have the work done well.

This place really is the «best tailoring» in the DC metro area. I’ve taken at least a dozen suits and probably 30 shirts to be altered and the results have always been fantastic.
Very accommodative around rush request when necessary.

The alterations I got done here weren’t done poorly, but it’s the price and ambience keeping me from delivering a 5 star review.
The hem out of a suit pant was coming out of one leg and it cost $ 20 to fix it. I don’t have an exact comparison, but a quick stitch like fix at other tailors has only been $ 6. I never, ever dry clean things not with an at-​home system but my husband needed his suit dry cleaned while fixing the hem and they don’t offer that here, like one would expect at most tailors.
I also needed a bridesmaid dress hemmed and taken in in the bust/​waist area a few inches. The combined cost of that was a whopping $ 106. I was pretty shocked. I know that hemming will cost more if there is lining or multiple layers involved, and they told me the 3 layers on the dress was why, but it still felt very, very expensive.
Also, their parking lot is very small and crappy, making it real easy to have an accident in or getting in/​out.

Phenomenal tailoring experience! I lost weight and took some of my favorite wardrobe pieces here to be altered to new sizes. The fabrics were not easy — ranging from cotton to linen to rayon to intricate lace. All five of my items were ready in a very reasonable amount of time and fit perfect. Most importantly, the quality of sewing workmanship is great. I will definitely be using Best Custom Tailors again for my future tailoring needs. NOTE: Their parking lot is very small and difficult to get in and out due to traffic.

The workmanship is excellent, the prices are not. I have brought in three different pants to have the same work done. (Shortening and taking in the legs). The prices varied each time and they seem to be on a whim as I saw nowhere where the prices were posted.
The first time, they charged me $ 35 for alterations. This last time, the tailoring cost more than the pants themselves. ($ 40 pants, $ 50 alterations). These were the exact same model/​brand of pants, and I can only imagine what raised the price this time, other than the fact they forgot how much they charged me last time (a few months prior) and decided $ 50 sounded good…
I would recommend this place if you needed something simple done, or if you have a very expensive piece/​set of clothing. Other than that, find somewhere else cheaper…

My boyfriend came here to get his three piece suit tailored for a wedding. We literally came here because of the reviews here on Unilocal,and they weren’t wrong. My boyfriend was SO nervous about how it was going to come out. He had no reason to be. The tailoring took a week. They took in the vest, shortened the sleeves on the blazer, shortened the hem on the pants and made them slimmer on the butt. I held my breathe when they told us the total and then I was so surprised with the price– $ 77 for all that!!! So not only did his suit look so amazing on him, it wasn’t a wallet crusher either. Couldn’t be more happy with their work!
Side note– you must have a bill of at least 10 bucks to use your credit card.

Hands down the best tailor experience I’ve had… Consistently over the yeas.
Occasionally I’ll get something altered at my local dry cleaner and I’ll usually regret not taking it to Best Tailor.
Best gets things right the first time. I’ve had over a dozen suits altered at Best Tailoring over the past 15+ years.

I’ve had everything from shirts, pants, suits, and a tuxedo tailored here. They do great work, and they redid a hem that came undone for no charge (as they should). Can be a little tricky to get in and out of during rush hour, and parking is comfortably limited to three cars.

Simply put: the best in NOVA.
This is a bespoke tailor, meaning that they build suits from scratch; consequently, they know the ins-​and-​outs and intricacies of suiting.
I consider myself fairly knowledgeable regarding menswear, as I’m a stylist at J. Crew and oftentimes fit men for suits. I always recommend Best Tailoring.
I bring all of my items for tailoring here. The quality is unparalleled, The service is exceptional.
I give it my strongest recommendation.

The only reason that this is a four-​star review instead of five is because I haven’t had extremely complicated alterations done here. However, I have had several simple alterations done at Best Tailoring, and they have been fast, effective, and inexpensive. The quality of the work has been outstanding, and when I have needed minor repairs they have turned them around very quickly and for an extremely reasonable price.
Since I discovered Best Tailoring, they’re the only tailor I’ve trusted to work on any of my clothes, other than major tailoring done on new suits.

I usually buy suits at Brooks Brothers and use their in-​store tailor for alteration. It is convenient and they turn out well. Unfortunately I don’t feel like spending upwards of $ 1,000 on every suit I buy, so when I bought a less expensive suit, I needed a tailor. I read through some forums with men who spend much more on their wardrobes than I do and saw this shop mentioned several times. The only other shop mentioned as often was a pricey place in Georgetown that appears to focus on bespoke more than altering an inexpensive suit.
I stopped in on a Friday afternoon was the only person in the store. Seems like a husband and wife operation, and the wife marks up your suit for tailoring. Measuring went quickly, with her confirming what I believed the suit «should» look like. Price… well I don’t have a barometer for that. Brooks Brothers includes basic stuff for free.
Dropping off on Friday afternoon, the suit was ready the next Thursday. I picked up and there were no surprises. Fits like I expected.
I have a couple more expensive suits that require some trickier alterations (apparently every brand doesn’t use a 6″ drop… and I let them sit for months before trying them on… so no ability to return), and since this shop also appears to do bespoke work as opposed to an alterations-​only shop, I’m likely to be bringing them here.

I went here based on Unilocal reviews. Getting a suit tailored for the first time.
Let me be clear they were truly very nice people and had no issues there. My issues are in the craftsmanship I ended up with very short sleeves on my suit and the right one is a small amount shorter than the right. I didn’t think it would be a big deal but upon wearing the jack for more than a few minutes I definitely could notice the difference, and felt self conscious about it for the rest of the evening.
You may ask why I didn’t go back to ask to have it fixed. I take partial responsibility for not reviewing their work more closely as they did give me a chance to make sure it all looked good. Also as I stated the sleeves were already to short and getting the left sleeve shortened even more, to match the right, I feel I maybe just asking for disaster.
Again Friendly, Reasonably Priced and on time with alterations and from the rest of the Unilocal reviews they seems they are very good… so maybe I’m just the unfortunate 1 off.
