Tan’s Tailor Shop

Tan is STILL the man!
I’ve returned after many years and he still does what he does best… making people look good. I was reminded of his flawless hemming and quality workmanship just recently. Weeks ago, I purchased a sports jacket and took it to one of my cleaners, also asked for an estimate for alterations. They told me to return the jacket and that the material is too difficult to alter, and that it would be too much work and costly for tailoring.
Then I took it to Tan.
He praised the fabric and the style. He told me what areas to alter, measured and marked them without any hesitation. The cost wasn’t even bad… half of what the cleaners quoted. I came back a few days later, tried on the jacket, and it was perfect! I’m so happy I didn’t have to return it. Tan made it work.
A few days after that, I brought pants for hemming. He still does quality pant work. He’s still open on weekends. He still has quick turn-​arounds. And he still has decent prices.
Tan is the most reliable tailor I know. Simply the best!

This place was recommended to me by a friend. I took in 1 pair of jeans & 2 dress shirts. The hemming of the jeans was horribly done with the wrong type of thread. The jeans were ruined because of this.
I wear a shirt & tie for work & I have to wear a size 17 ½ collar dress shirt, so the shirts I buy are rather bulky on me. He made the shirts slimmer, which was good, but he did not alter the area under the arm. After the alteration, when I wear the shirts & stretch or move my arms it is like I have wings. The the dress shirts were completely ruined, and they were very expensive shirts.
Don’t go to Tan’s unless you want to alter very inexpensive clothing, as he is always rushed, and I am not sure he knows what he is doing.

I recently discovered this place when looking for a new tailor. I had been a loyalist of Forest Tailoring near Valley Fair, but their prices and treatment of customers slowly eroded that buyer confidence.
Tan’s is just a small corner in the Burlington Coat Factory fitting room area, but don’t let looks fool you, Tan and his wife are exceptional tailors that ask you when you need things by, rather than set dates for you (like Forest Tailoring). Their prices are very reasonable, and they are very understanding when you give them a turnaround time.
Tan helped me tailor a sportscoat and two vests with a turnaround time of a week. For each of the vests, I had him bring in the side a bit for a fitted look and it costed $ 15 for each; what a great deal! For the sportscoat, I had Tan shorten the sleeves for $ 20, and brought in the side for another $ 30. To give you perspective, I had a suit tailored at Forest, and though I had to tailor my trousers that time, I ended up paying close to $ 150 for a suit that costed $ 300. A little steep and ridiculous if you ask me.
Tan is now my go to for all my future tailoring needs.

I’ve been coming to Tan for the past several years and he is definitely an expert tailor. He has altered about 7 of my Hugo Boss suits and makes them fit just right. High praise for Tan!

I’m surprised there are not more reviews for this place. Tan is definitely the guy to go to if you need anything altered. He’s nice and gets the job done in a reasonable amount of time. The prices are very good for the quality of work he does.

Tan is The MAN!!! He does same day service at no extra charge!!! Don’t be cheap and tip the guy cuz his rates are the lowest… My sisters needed to get their dresses altered and he hooked it up in less than an hour for under $ 60 for both… Not to mention we were there a little after 8pm and the store closed at 9pm and he helped them out cuz my wedding was the next day! Anyways, I’ve been to many alterations and he’s good may not be the best but quality work, fast, and very affordable. Like I said before be nice to the guy cuz if you are snobby your rates may go up…
