Newport Custom Tailors

Newport Custom Tailors recently completed some alterations for me and I could not be happier! Their customer service is spectacular and the work completed was beautiful. I highly recommend them!

This is my go-​to place for getting all my jeans properly fitted and looking awesome. It really makes a world of difference to spend a few bucks to have your jeans hemmed, guys. Newport Custom Tailors is the best at it! The ladies there are super friendly and they’ll even give you some suggestions if you’re not quite sure how things should fit on your body. I’ve also brought some of my suits here to be updated to more of a «slim fit» and they turned out amazing.

My girlfriend and I came here to get her two dresses altered for two different weddings. We had to come here due to her work schedule, and this was the only place open near us. She usually goes to a different alteration place for her dresses, but we were on a time crunch. Anyway, this place is very friendly and it seemed like everything was running smoothly until we had to come back for the first dress. The first dressed cost $ 30 to be hemmed! We thought it was because she needed it done in 3 days, so we thought okay we rushed their service and $ 30 was the cost, we were wrong. I came back to pick up dress #2 and it was $ 60!!! The dress didn’t even cost $ 60! I tried to find out the reason behind the high price, but she gave me the runaround and I realized that it was ridiculous… never again.
This place seems great for gentleman, but ladies there are definitely better places out there to get your dresses hemmed.

Don’t go to this place! Unless you want to be ripped off! Very simple alteration for 2 items cost $ 70.

I stopped in Newport Custom Tailors to have two designer pants hemmed. I was greeted by a well dressed Asian man. He had me try on each pair of pants and marked the location where he would put the hem. He quoted me a price of $ 10 per pant and said they would be ready the next day. After picking up the pants I was impressed with the quality of the stitching and the quick turnaround time. I would definitely take my pants here again and I had a very pleasant experience.

This place is amazing. They are so kind and helpful whenever I come in. I have been incredibly happy with my pants once they’re done. I have to be looking crisp and professional when I go to work!

If you’re looking for cheap, go elsewhere. If you’re looking for great work and don’t mind paying for it you’re at the right place!

I’ve been using Newport since 2007 — I’ve altered suits, jackets, pants and even shirts. Prices are a little higher than norm but the service is quick and the work is generally excellent.

Probably the worst experience I ever had with a «tailor» and I use that word loosely.
Dropped off a pair of slacks that needed to be lengthened slightly. Granted it was a difficult job since the previous tailor cut the bottom hem to create the cuffs but not something that was impossible to do. All they had to do was bring down the cuff and perhaps even increase the cuff size to lengthen the inseam.
What they did was bring down the cuff but reduced the cuff size from 1.5-inch to 1.25-inch; negating any inseam length gain. On top of this, they have the gall to charge $ 25 for a job that took less than 20 minutes and done haphazardly?
Also, I dropped off on Wednesday and they asked I come back on Saturday, I told them I would pick up on Monday instead. So not only are they bad, they are slow.
In all seriousness, they do not have any real tailoring experience… just some people who learned how to use a sewing machine and decided to open a business.

I’ve been using Unilocal for years to get the down low on new places/​neighborhoods. But I’ve never signed up and posted anything before (yes, get your condemning glares out).
Honestly, this place was so good it made me want to sign up. My experience here was excellent, worth the hour drive from Redondo Beach. I’ve been using a few closer alterations places but never felt like I was getting good service or a good quality alteration. This place was like nothing I’ve been to before. I had no wait when I walked in. Tried on a new suit and the tailor got to work, pinning and recommending exactly what I was thinking. I was out of there in about 10 minutes.
Fast forward a few days and I walk in, everything’s done, suit looks amazing and fits exactly as I wanted it.
The only downside is it was a little expensive. I don’t remember the breakdown but it was $ 115 for hemming and taking in the pants, taking in the suit, and shortening the suit sleeves.

My husband and I drive down from Huntington Beach to get our nicer clothes altered here like suits and dresses. Excellent work.

My fiancée and I were recommended here by his sister, and we weren’t disappointed. We walked in to get his suit tailored and we waited a few minutes for the tailor, who was finishing up the customer before us. He then ushered my fiancée into one of the changing rooms. After 10 minutes of pinning and measuring in front of the mirrors, we were ready to go. I asked for a price breakdown, and it seemed reasonable. Just under $ 10 for a straight hem, around $ 25 for the sleeves, and just under $ 50 for slimming the jacket a bit. My brother’s suit is being worked on at the moment, looking forward to seeing it soon!
They seem friendly and treat everyone equally, regardless of what you’re wearing or bringing in! I don’t think you’ll get ripped off here, he’s very up front about what he thinks is necessary and what is just «better.»
It is slightly difficult to spot from the street. Its located behind the Bank of America, near the back of the plaza. Parking is plentiful.
