European Tailor

Edward (not 100% on correct spelling…) sometimes comes across as rude /​short, but that is just his nature. Stop by a few times and you’ll realize he’s actually a nice guy — he just doesn’t mince words during interactions.
The real determining factor is quality of work. I’ve taken in several suits and dress pants to him over the past two years — the results are high quality work that fit perfectly. He can turn around a suit and two pairs of pants in under 3 hours most days. He’s even gone back and redone a few pairs for me. His prices are very fair as well — just bring cash as he doesn’t take plastic.

Had a suit vest and pants that needed to be altered (taken in) today, trying to save time, I called him and ask for a ball park estimate. He said over the phone: «I can’t give you an estimate. You need to come in. Ok, I came in and his store says EUROPEAN tailor one would think that he would specialize in European and American tailoring. Right? He looked at it and immediately said «No! the curve in the side… I can’t do that.”(it’s a Fitted vest) So then he tells me to go try on the pants that I brought and see if he could take them in. I said «Ok well it just wouldn’t make sense to bring them in here and take the vest somewhere else. They go together and I need them for work. It’s my uniform. He said: «Well whatever! go somewhere else then! «F*ck you! That’s exactly what I did. Take your business somewhere else. It’s not worth it. I don’t understand how these shoddy businesses stay in business, probably State funded.

I brought in two pairs of jeans for simple repairs. One pair had a small hole on the back pocket, the the other pair had loose thread on the pocket seam.
I showed the man the problems and asked if he could fix them. His answer was a quick, rude «no» with no explanation and no apology. When I asked for an explanation, he said denim holes can’t be fixed, and he didn’t have the right color thread to fix it anyway. Denim holes certainly CAN be patched and a correct thread color is available.
I brought the jeans to another tailor who agreed to fix the issues within 24 hours. I am very disappointed with the customer service I received at European Tailor over a simple, easy repair.

I came here with a couple of dresses to have them taken in and after I tried them on he told me he couldn’t help me. If you need tailoring for a dress, find a seamstress instead. He even told me that.

How can you get excited about finding a tailor!?!
1. He fixed the lumpy shoulders of one of my favorite suit jackets.
2. He did it in in 6 minutes.
3. He gave me a hanger better suited for a suit jacket than the one I had been using.
4. He saved me from having to buy another suit.
5. He was pleasant (I am puzzled by the grumpy description in some of the other reviews), skilled and helpful.
6. He did it for $ 5!
I would give him 10 stars if they were available to be awarded. My highest recommendation if you ever need tailoring done.
Thank you Unilocal for helping me find him.

I had called before visiting to confirm a price. On the line I thought he came off as a little tough but I guess that’s just the European way. He is actually a really nice old man who does a great job. As I sat waiting with my bf while the tailor worked, he made conversation with us. Anyway, I went to get my pants hemmed for an interview. They were too long. I came in, went to the dressing room. He has a couple pairs of heels and shoes if u don;t have any to determine the length you like, he took my measurements and got to work. Only took ten minutes and my pants were done. Only 11 bucks. Ill def come back :)

A little rough with customers which I’m assuming is due to the differences in culture, but his work is excellent.
