Tarpy Tailors

Had an 11AM appointment, here at 11AM and no one is here. Been waiting for 20 minutes. Doors are locked, tried knocking, no one is answering, tried calling… Nothing. Very unprofessional.

Not great. Not terrible. This is slightly my mistake, because I feel like they mostly sew and alter uniforms (airline and airport uniforms, from the looks of things) and one of the items I needed altered was a tuxedo. They also made a mess of two sport coats I brought in. Nothing that couldn’t be undone mind you (the jackets weren’t «ruined»), but not anything I’d feel comfortable wearing to a nice event either.
To be fair, they did a fine job on the khakis I needed patched. But if you have formalwear in need of alterations, I wouldn’t bring it here.

I heard about Tarpy Tailors through a friend. I live in Venice Ca and have gone through a couple tailors after not being satisfied with the outcome. A couple months ago I dropped off a pair of Jeans that I had just bought that needed the waist line taken down, I am on the shorter side so they went up too high and we’re not comfortable at all! Anyway I absolutely love the jeans and wear them all the time! Because of my last experience with Tarpy Tailors I took a dress in that needed some altering and again I am completely satisfied! I am so happy to have heard about this place and can’t wait to use there services in the future!

Love this place. Everyone is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. And they do an awesome job and they don’t complain. I moved out to Westchester 3 years back. I was looking for a tailor. I Went to a spot down the street with an old angry Russian lady she was horrible. And did shity work. So I stumbled across Tarpy Tailors and I’ve been going there ever since. Trust me you will love this place. They do an awesome job.

I LOVE this place. The owner is friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable and accommodating. I have taken things to be altered, zippers fixed, mending, and actually turning a basic t-​shirt into an 80’s styled, unique creation from my vision. Everything was handled professionally and the timing is super quick! I recommend Tarpy Tailors to anyone who needs changes, or fixes to any wardrobe items. Thanks TT for the amazing service and results!

Speedy, Friendly and Precise! I won’t go anywhere else. I highly recommend Tarpy Tailors!

I recently went here with a few garments that needed some minor alterations. The staff was super friendly, the price was extremely reasonable, and it was done faster than I expected! I recommend these guys for all of your altering needs. I am so happy to find a tailor in the neighborhood who takes such good care of my things and I. Thanks Tarpy Tailors! You guys are great!

I flew in town for a wedding and realized I need to get my suit tailored. The team there were very responsive to my needs, did a great job and I got a good deal. I was very happy they were able to get it done so well and so quickly. Thanks for the help!

I don’t get many items tailored. But a friend referred me to Tarpy Tailors. They do high volume alterations for the airliners so I knew they could be trusted. I had a VERY expensive (heavy denim) pair of jeans with chain stitching that needed to be hemmed. When I got my two items back (jeans and a tweed sport jacket) both were flawlessly done. I was in and out in no time and big man at the front was super cool and got me dialed in. Thinking about having them make me a suit or two.

Brought in a bridesmaid dress that need alteration. Service was great! Friendly, welcoming and quick! On top of that the work they did was amazing. And at such a reasonable price. I will be bringing all my altering needs here!

We enjoyed great service and excellent tailoring at Tarpy’s. They did an excellent job on our son’s interview suit, and had it ready within a few days. Our family highly recommends them!

I had a fantastic experience getting my suit tailored at Tarpy’s. I brought in an ill fitting suit Friday for a job interview on Thursday. The customer service was polite and the tailor was thorough. The guy at the counter was aware of modern suit trends (tapered pants legs, no pants cuffs) and even discussed the suit and tie I’d be wearing with the suit. The suit was ready for pickup Wednesday at noon.
All in all, it was a great experience, and one I’d certainly repeat. They are quick, inexpensive, and amicable. I’ll certainly be going back to Tarpy Tailors the next time I need a suit tailored.

I have been in the area for 10 years and have never had such great work done all the way around. They have tailored suits, shirts, and jeans for me and have always done a fabulous job.

They say that the third time around is a charm. NOT HERE!
AVOID THIS PLACE!!!
For any neighborhood establishment, I give them the benefit of the doubt three times before giving up on them. I want to see local small businesses do well and I want to support them. Tarpy Tailors — I’ve given up on you!
I’ve been a customer of Tarpy Tailors for the last 11 years. NO MORE. The past owners have always been humble, welcoming and kind. The new owner (I think your name is Em) is arrogant, conceited, and seems to not want any more business other than the airline jobs that he gets automatically. Prices have gone up astronomically.
My First Experience: I wanted to get two suits tailored. I went to Tarpy because I trust Fernando, the main tailor. I walked into the store (no one else was around) and I had to wait 2 – 3 minutes until the owner finished his personal phone call. After introducing myself, seeing that he was the new owner, I told him that I needed two suits tailored. He immediately told me that it was a two week wait and that he couldn’t do it. He explained that he had a big airline order and couldn’t work on my suits. I asked if Fernando was still working there, and he was! He came out from the back, took my measurements, and told me that my suits would be ready in a week.
My Second Experience: I needed to get a raincoat tailored. I walked in and the owner immediately told me that he didn’t have time to work on my coat because he was busy. Again, I was given a 2 week turn around. I again asked for Fernando. I explained that I only needed the sleeves shortened 1″. Fernando measured me and I pickedup my coat two days later. To hem a coat sleeve (since stitch, no fancy sewing — $ 34!!!)
My Third Experience: I walked into the shop today to get some pants hemmed. There was a flight attendant before me so I patiently waited for my turn. When it got to be my turn, I held up my pants and asked if he could do a simple hem. His response was, «There is no way that I can get your pants hemmed in one day!». My response was «I’m not asking for a one-​day service.» His response was, «Well, it will probably take a week /​7 days to hem your pants.» At that point, I was just tooo tired to fight to become a customer of his. I turned around and walked out the door without saying anything. He then proceeded to tell me to wait and come back. I continued to walk away. NEVER AGAIN!
Fernando — save your professional career and find another place to work. You are a talented tailor. You are too good for the new owners of Tarpy. Please contact me if you ever leave, as I’ll follow you.
I *rarely* ever claim this EVER — but I think that my skin color isn’t welcomed here at Tarpy Tailors. I’m Hawaiian and have dark skin, but it may not be dark enough.
Take a look at MANY one-​star reviews that this place has gotten since the store was sold. I tried three times. Fourth time would have been shame on me. I agree with the several other reviews who said the new owner is a jerk!

I found another nearby tailor who is welcoming, friendly, and does an amazing job. If you want a referral to my new place, let me know.

Ive been going to tarpy tailor for years until now. Sharon sold the business to this major JERK! I went in today to get two
uniform dresses hemmed… $ 51!!! He is rude, condescending, has zero customer service skills and has tripled the prices. This is the second time I’ve been in to see him and the last… both times he was just plain nasty. I feel sorry for the people that work there and actually do the sewing. Its time to find a new airline uniform tailor… We miss you Sharon!

I gave Tarpy my business for years. They were great but the prices have gone up and the service has gone down

Do NOT go here for alterations. They changed owners about 6 weeks ago and Sharon is no longer there. I took uniform pants to be tailored and did not try them on when I picked them up. Guess what? When I did try them, I found that nothing had been done to them!
Place is creepy and an outright rip off.

I had a Marc Jacobs denim bag. The strap was completely worn out. It was in shreds. I took it to Tarpy Tailors and they removed the old strap and put a new strap on. They furnished the denim, great match up. It was an awesome job. Guess what? The price was good too. By the way, customer service is fantastic. Sharon is delightful…
I highly reccomend…

I had a tough time finding someone nearby who did a great job at a reasonable price.
I took a chance with Tarpy Tailors and was surprised with what I received in return!
The lady who works there (the name escapes me) was awesome! So polite and professional. She has done a couple of jeans for me and I have nothing but praise for her work. The price is perfect and the turnaround time was quick.
Thank you Tarpy Tailors! :)

Thank you Marko for your Unilocal review. Sharon did a very quick turnaround on my pants I plan to wear at a New Year’s Eve party tomorrow night. Went in this morning and I begged her to hem it before end of day and she delivered! For $ 8 my pants is exactly the length I need to give my sexy heels a peek!
I was bummed Tarpy is only open on weekdays and close by the time I get home. But apparently some Wednesday nights Sharon and her husband are in there working. She said give her a call to coordinate the time! Am so ecstatic!
