George the Tailor

This place is old school and cash only. But they are awesome. The place is 120 degrees hot in there, but you get the feeling of dealing with a total craftsman. I am proud to now call him, «my tailor». It takes my 15 minutes to drive there but sometimes it is nice to meet the person who holds the needle. The guy who measures me is the same guy who alters it. I find value in that.

George delivers the best service! I brought a dress in to be altered two days before New Year’s Eve and he got it done for me. Not only does it look beautiful but he is just so professional and nice. Go to this guy for all your tailoring needs. Just an FYI it is cash only.

Came in to get a pair of suit pants altered. The whole thing took 15 minutes and was very reasonably priced. Great work!

Do I like George? No. I get this feeling that it’s his way or the highway. Went in to get the sleeves of a leather jacket shortened and he adamantly refused to do it at the length I wanted — and for no reason other than «it doesn’t look good». Well, since I’m paying I think I’ll be the judge of that. His wife, on the other hand, is a bit more personable, and that’s the only reason for the extra star. I’ll be taking my business elsewhere in the future.

I had George tailor a sports coat for me. I asked George to shorten the sleeve and had the jacket fit better around the body, which cost $ 35 in total. He did a great job I have no complaints. After I picked up my sports coat, I had a chat with him and his wife, his wife talked about how guy’s in Greece always wear sports coat and we had a 15 minute chat about Greece, Italy, and other countries in Europe. I told them, I always wanted to go to Europe and they told me I should go. Great conversations with them. I would recommend going to them, I just wish it was a little cheaper, but they did a great job on my sports coat. Will return soon!

I had two pairs of thick khaki pants, stitched like jeans, that were too big in the waste. I was concerned about bringing them in because I didn’t want awkward stitching or extra space on the hips. Previous tailors have made a mess with some of my clothes. I expressed these concerns and he shook his head and told me not to worry. He said I would hardly notice.
He was right, when I picked them up, they looked almost exactly the same. You can hardly tell they were altered. He did a perfect job. I wasn’t in rush, so no comment on timing. But the quality is what made my day.

Had high expectations going in with two pairs of slacks from Clavin Klein suits that needed to be taken in at the waist and seat. George greeted me with open arms and a gift of gab. When I left on Thursday, I though we were best friends.
I stopped in on Tuesday (his choice) for pickup and found that they weren’t ready. Thinking out loud, I made the mistake of saying «my ticket says Tuesday» and before I knew it the gloves were off. I wasn’t expecting nor did I want to engage in a confrontation. I finally learned that he was ill for a few days and fell behind. Fine, I can understand that and could give the guy a break. .. if he didn’t charge at me head-​on. Bad day? Maybe. I suppose I should try again to see.

went back to george this week with 8 items and told him that i needed at least two of them by friday. no problem he says. we measure and decide on what to do and i leave.
the next day i call back at noon and tell him i want some changes. my pants are already done (WOO HOO). i went in at lunch and told his wife the changes. without having to see george she gets my exact thoughts to him. i come back friday and everything is finished perfectly.
BUT!!! to top it all off, she presses everything for me (all 6 dress shirts were new and had creases), what a sweetheart! saved me so much time.
can’t say enough about this place!

George tailored a bridesmaid dress I needed to a wedding and did a great job! He brought the dress down by at least a size and it fit perfectly! The dress was done on time and for a VERY reasonable price! I will be back!

The growth of purveyors of cheap apparel has added fuel to one particularly dastardly facet of our culture; use it and throw it away. We don’t nurture the skills to make our clothes at home… fabric stores are disappearing as are the businesses we relied upon to mend our clothes and fix our shoes. George the Tailor is an outlet to the past. George is a vibrant representative of Lowell’s Greek community (every other phrase is «…yes, my friend»). George can be a bit loud and a tad quirky but he knows what to do. I’ve had a shirt and a pair of trousers mended and he is making a new lining for a beautiful wool coat I inherited from my brother-​in-​law. It’s with pride that I can give a local business my hard earned cash to keep perfectly good clothes used rather than going to the trash heap or the Salvation Army. Efharisto, George!

Is fixing a hole in your shirt considered tailoring? Not according to George and frankly he doesn’t want to be bothered with it. Go home and fix it yourself you schmuk. Ok he didn’t say that but he told me he does custom tailoring of suits. If he didn’t want to do the repair thats fine, but George sent me out onto the street with a bad feeling. I wouldn’t come here unless you have some high end tailoring needs (NOT holes).

I went to George’s based upon a Unilocal review. I needed a bridesmaid’s dress altered. They were very friendly. My dress was ready in 2 days and was just perfect! I highly recommend them and plan to visit them again for my tailor needs! Oh, and the prices were very reasonable too!

George the Tailor in Lowell has been around for many years. He does amazing work and their prices are very reasonable. Dry cleaning prices are less than competetors and you can get your items back as early as you want (dry cleaning and tailor work is done on premesis). They treat you like family, very genuine people!
