Ji’s Tailor

Super fast and super nice! I went to get my suit altered and the gentleman was really helpful. I needed to get my pants hemmed from the bottom and he was able to do it in less than an hour — same day. Also, I wanted to check if my blazer could be loosened (gained a few) and he was able to check and sew it back up within that hour. I would definitely go back there again!

Stay away !! Very expensive! They prey on customers depending on the brand and etc…, they charged me $ 65 to lengthen the arms on my Tom Ford blazer jacket, i asked why so much she says my husband is professnor tailor (exact words, in korean accent) but first thing she whispered to herself is ohh Tom Ford. And last week I said let me try them again. So I had a tiny hole on the back pocket stitching of my $ 190 Citizen jeans and I was guessing on the expensive side maybe $ 40 by them. So when i get there she tells me ohh special jeans $ 90, I told her hold on I’ll be right back! I just bolted out of there and took it to another shop for $ 15 and they did a beautiful job! Stay away they have no feelings.

I had a floor length dress I had bought a while back for a wedding I was going to. I tried it on before the wedding and it was too tight in the chest. Found Ji’s on Unilocal and went there with my fingers crossed. I told them I needed it in three days and they were able to do it! The dress didn’t have any room to be let out so they took fabric from underneath the dress and were able to open up the dress and stitch that in there. It looked great and the dress fit! Only drawback was that it was $ 125. Pricey IMO but I was desperate and it all worked out!

So glad to have found this on Unilocal.Super friendly and welcoming place! I went here to get my 3 month old’s sleeper fixed because the seam came undone during the first wash… Before she was even able to wear it! The owner fixed it on the spot and didn’t even want to get paid for it… I left some cash anyway. Definitely coming back! I love frequenting family owned businesses. It will probably be our go-​to tailor shop. Highly recommend!

I’ve been in here three different times to get stuff altered. It’s owned by a husband and wife. The woman talks to the people and the husband is always in the back working on stuff.
She is always very nice and suggests things here and there that will make the fit better or things that might help the price a bit.
Everything looks great when they’re done with it. I can’t say enough about this place. Go check them out.

Very good work, but also expensive. I took several outfits there and was very pleased with the service and quality, but the final price was more than I expected (for example, $ 28 for a hem)

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! Ji’s Tailor is extremely professional, great attention to detail, fast (if need be), friendly, and very reasonable prices! I had my wedding dress altered here and it took less than 2 weeks and only ONE fitting!!! IT IS AMAZINGLY PERFECT! I cannot express my gratitude in words how an amazing tailor he is and how very warm and accommodating his wife is. It is definitely a blessing to find such an Amazing tailor in such close proximity to my home with very reasonable prices for such an important event in my life. I recommend them to everyone! Again, I cannot express in words how happy they have made me! I can’t wait to walk down the isle in such perfection! MANY THANKS!

I had a tough job and Ji’s pulled it off! I got my bridesmaid dress like 2 weeks before the wedding and it was too small… And of course the length was perfect and there was not extra fabric on the side. He figured out a way to use the lining to take the side out. He didn’t affect the length at all and it fits now!

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! According to «What Not to Wear» everyone should get their clothes tailored. I never really listened until recently. I got several blazers on sale… the price was great… the fit… not so great. So I took them all to Ji’s. Right off the bat she told me they would have to adjust the sleeves. I do not know allot about tailoring but I do know sleeves are tricky. I was a little nervous but reminding myself of how little I spent on the blazers I thought what the heck!
They did an exceptional job! Every blazer fits like… well…like it was tailor made for me!
Price is very reasonable and they took less than a week. I am now a Tailoring convert!

they are miracle workers. my bridesmaid dress came in the mail and its about 4 sizes to small and i take it to them and they widen it and made it fit. and they didn’t ask me to buy extra material or anything. they were truly amazing. and they charge the fraction of the price the other tailors offered.
though be warned there might be some language barrier, but in the end they come through.

Just an update, the dress looks better than it did originally in the shop, after Jackie at Ralph’s added the extra fabric to the bottom. Beautiful work and the $ 20 estimate was what we paid. So given these two shops are right in the same area, it’s worth getting a second opinion.

This guy is amazing. I am a dancer and had ordered a corset for a number that turned out to be the wrong color. I bought some fabric in the right color and took it to Ji’s to see if he could cover it for me. It is absolutely gorgeous and looks like that’s how it was made in the first place! I brought it in on a Thursday and he was done with it by Tuesday. I highly recommend him for any sort of weird or difficult projects/​alterations you may need.

Whenever I have clothing — shirts, pants, suits — that needs any kind I alteration, I go here. Fantastic service, high quality, and the couple here really do have a sense of style for each of their customers. Their advice on what do with your clothing is not only style effective, but cost effective as well! Go there now, thank me later!

I was a last minute replacement in a wedding and therefore got a dress that was not made to fit me (much too small) with very little time to get it altered. After looking around online for tailors in Chicago, I found Ji’s Tailor. The place had great reviews, including several that mentioned last-​minute alterations, so I brought the dress there to see what could be done. Mrs Ji was incredibly nice and helpful, and she assured me it would be done by the end of the week.
Leaving there was such a relief, and I got a nice surprise when I got a call only two days later that the dress was finished. It fit perfectly, and it only cost a little more than alterations the other girls in the wedding got done on dresses they were able to try on before ordering! (I should also mention, I was the only one who didn’t have problems with my dress the day of the wedding — it fit better than anything I’ve ever owned). I am engaged and looking to buy my wedding dress online, so because of the great experience I had a Ji’s, I am bringing the dress (and all of my alterations in the future) to Ji’s!

I’m sure this is properly «Ji’s, THE Tailor.» And Mr. Ji is a miraculous tailor extraordinaire. I came to this shop not from reading the other reviews here (which are all glowing), but by pure dumb luck. And my little mend was probably minor in comparison with the other major jobs described below, but still too complicated for someone’s weekend sewing project. It involved replacing the lining of the pocket flap of a full-​length men’s wool melton dress overcoat. Outwardly, while the coat was worn (but rarely, and only in winter), unless the flap was lifted somehow, no one ever knew that this lining of one pocket flap was almost shredded. And I’m sure that was the thought of the women I tried to entice to do this little mend, «Who’s going to see that?» Thus the needed repair languished for six years. Then I saw Mr. Ji’s shop! I went in and asked. Yes. He could do it! And even after a decade since the coat had been bought new, Mr, Ji was able to very closely match the lining fabric (not perfectly, but convincingly).
And if you know how pocket flaps are attached to a coat (as I and the women I know do in detail), replacing the lining fabric of just that little piece of ornament requires deconstructing the pocket flap from the coat’s front panel first. Then after making the repair, reconstructing that flap onto the panel along with adding back the fine details at the hinge part of the flap. All done in 7 days and ready to be picked up. It now looks like new… perfect!
And even though Mr. Ji’s fee was very reasonable for all that work, it was the beginning of summer and my thoughts were not about retrieving a wool dress coat. In this business, it’s the customer’s option to decide when to pick up and pay for the job. But Mr. Ji (and Mrs. Ji) are responsible shop owners. Just in case I may have forgotten about this coat and someone were to offer to buy that lovely coat from them, they wanted to let me know by phone that it was ready… for three months already! So first chance I got, I brought in my slip (+ $) and transferred my beauty of a coat from their rack to my closet.
You won’t be disappointed.

The guy really seemed to know what he was doing but there is a huge language barrier, the worst part was when he gave me the bill everything was written in his language I have no clue what I paid for or if it’s right

I am obsessed about the length and fit of my pants; too long and too loose you look like a sartorial naïf, too short and too tight, you look like you are wearing your sons’ pants. The right fit and length and you are golden. I had snagged this bad ass suit on sale and I was heading out of town wanted to take the suit with me, so needed the pants hemmed, it was a Saturday. After being spurned by Biltmore Cleaners, I took the pants to JI and asked if it was possible to get it back same day. The couple are super sweet, within minutes I was pinned up and after 3 hours I picked up the hemmed pants; perfect length, no break barley grazing my shoes.

Thank you thank you fellow Unilocal reviewers! Finding Ji’s Tailor was a true find! I bought my wedding dress (resale) online. Obviously there were alot of risks involved buying online sight unseen. When I tried the dress on for the first time it fit, but certainly not like a glove. I was apprehensive on whether or not we could take the dress out. Ji made me feel comfortable and confident from the beginning. He assured me that what I needed done could indeed be done.
When I picked up the dress two weeks later I was not disappointed!
I will be bringing all of my tailoring business to this wonderful place.

Ji’s tailor helped me tremendously when a bridesmaid dress arrived one week before the wedding… a size smaller than I ordered! I found Ji’s through Unilocal and the positive reviews are right. You can tell that this couple cares a lot about delivering quality service and a quality product. After spending enough time with me to develop the right strategy for the dress, I left it in their hands to work their magic. 5 days later i picked it up, it fit beautifully, and you couldn’t tell it had been altered at all from the original design. I just went back with several new suits, and have not been disappointed.
If you’re looking for a tailor who will listen and who will treat your clothes with care, go to Ji’s!

I recently moved to Chicago from Houston and was looking for a very good tailor. I bought a wool coat and needed to add a zipper to it because it only had snap buttons. I read the reviews on all of the tailors on Unilocal and Ji’s seemed to be the best one. I went at 12 pm and picked up my coat at 5 pm. They were so great. They worked with me due to my constricted work schedule. They were very friendly. I would definitely go back to them again. Thank you Ji’s Tailor!
