Eric’s Custom Tailors

Brought in a shirt at 9 AM telling the man that it was needed same day as I had an event early the next morning. Called him on my way home from work around 5:45 to let him know I’d be there right around closing and he informed me that, «uhhh for whatever reason, the work was not done».
Ran around town at 6 PM looking for a tailor to rush an alteration last minute. Luckily I found June’s Tailor and Shoe Repair, who saved the day.
How do you promise same day service when someone has an event the next day and not deliver? And not call to inform the person that it won’t be ready before you close for the day?
Seemed like a nice enough guy, but totally shit the bed. Not recommended.

OK, ok, he’s not cheap. Everyone can get that idea from the reviews on Unilocal.But Eric is a great tailor and charges the same as a big city top tailor. It’s ok for the best in town to charge more because they’re the best. I can find a cheaper steak than Del Friscos, cheaper shoes than at Nordstrom… To spend a few extra dollars one time to get a suit or jacket to fit like it’s custom tailored seems like money well spent!

After 4 years using Eric’s Custom Tailors and probably $ 2,000-$ 3,000 spent there in quality tailoring, I disheartens me to change my review of this business, and announce that I would neither visit them nor recommend them again.
When I bought my wedding dress, I was excited to learn that Eric’s Custom Tailors also performs alterations on wedding dresses and relieved to know that all my dress needed was a hem. Eric did not warn me in advance nor mention when I picked up the dress that hemming the dress would render it unwearable (literally it appears, though he denies it, that someone cut on a bias too high and attempted to sew fabric back on).
Not only could I no longer wear my wedding dress again, but he was extremely rude and unhelpful when I brought the dress back in, crying (the natural response when planning a wedding is to cry, mind you). About 30 minutes later he called me and offered to refund my money for the tailoring.
It’s been about a month and a half since that incident and he still has not refunded my money.
One of the biggest rules of customer service is to attempt to please an unhappy customer, especially when that customer is a trusted regular of your business. Eric’s Custom Tailors has blatantly violated that rule by 1. not trying to solve the situation when I was in the store and 2. not refunding my money when he offered me a refund and accepted.

Eric is a very good tailor. His services are not cheap. Be prepared.

DO NOT GO HERE! This man wrecked my WEDDING DRESS! The dress already fit well, it only needed to be hemmed and bustled with some of the padding removed. He took it in, raised the shoulders — unevenly — and hemmed it too short. He also did not do the bustle we had discussed.
When I took the dress to another tailor, she was unable to undo the mistakes because he cut out fabric and it was very ragged. He also managed to forget to call me when it was finished. Luckily I was able to buy a second dress.

Took a work dress in to get about an inch taken off all around. It cost me over $ 30. Also, I went to pick it up and they had «forgotten to do it». Don’t ever go here.

My fiancé took her wedding dress here after it was nearly destroyed at another place. What took the other tailor nearly 2.5 weeks to destroy was repaired in a single day by Eric and his assistant. He was extremely polite and understanding, and was able to correct almost all of the damage to my fiancé’s dress. To put it bluntly, with three days before we leave for the wedding, I was resigned to the fact that my future wife would not have the dress she dreamed about. Eric gave her back the dress of her dreams. Considering the work he had to do to correct the damage inflicted on the dress he was very reasonably priced.
His constant contact while he fixed her dress, including three fittings to make sure the measurements were precise is why I will recommend him to anyone looking for a tailor that is courteous, effective and can correct any problems other, wholly (pardon the pun) ineffective, tailors inflict on clothes.

I don’t usually do Unilocal reviews but I felt compelled to do one today. I think Eric does solid work in my limited experience there especially since he dresses like a retiree who frequents dog tracks, but get an estimate ahead of time. He just charged me $ 40 to have suit sleeves taken up less than an inch and $ 115 to have a blazer brought in. The work is fine but that is really expensive. If you have money to flat out burn go here, but I recommend Erol’s tailoring in Cherry Creek. I’ll be traveling the extra distance to go there from now on.

I was going to a wedding and took my gorgeous dress to Atlas Tailors and they nearly destroyed it. I was devastated. I took it to Erics to be repaired on a recommendation from a friend. It turned out beautifully. Eric is not the place to take a $ 10 pair of jeans to be hemmed. But if you want craftsmanship this is the place you come to.

I was referred to Eric’s by my friends dad who has gone to him for years.
I needed pants taken up so I came in, he measured and I picked them up within a week. Done and done.
Only thing I will say is the price isn’t what I was expecting. $ 28 for an original hem on jeans. Yes they are perfect, but I could have found someone cheaper for just a pair of jeans.

Be very careful BEFORE you get your clothes altered at this horrible place. I took a pair of one of my favorite pair of pants that were purchased in New York at the Ted Baker Store to be initially altered here, and they came out WAY too short… as if he were preparing me for an unexpected flood perhaps. So I eventually had to take them to another tailor to let out all of the remaining material on the length so at least i could still wear them, but the bottoms now are frayed and he basically ruined the pants. And about a year after the incident, I happen to be walking past the store and I saw another guy in the store who I recognized getting altered, a person who I see out and about all the time that frequents the Cherry Creek bar scene. The ironic thing is, every time I see this guy out, I notice how bad his clothes fit. His pants are always pulled up to his chest, and his pants on the bottom are way too short, of course. I just laugh to myself… its actually humorous, because this guy uses this tailor. The owner is somewhat unpleasant also, kind of a creepy type of a guy I would say, from Germany, a country that has zero fashion sense. I mean this is the country that introduced the world to Birkenstocks for crying out loud, and they are proud to wear knee-​cap high dark socks with shorts. Oh well, I should have known.

Ever since I moved from southern cali I have been hard pressed to find a tailor that can adjust my clothes according to my OCD nature. Finally I found him. You know that Eric knows his stuff, by checking out all the fabric swatches in his entrance. My new rule with a tailor is if they can’t create a suit from scratch I don’t want them touching my clothes. The amazing thing about this place is he charges reasonable rates.

Terrific, great old-​fashioned tailor — right down to the photos of his family on the wall! I had 6 pairs of pants to alter — he patiently and professionally measured all of them, and they came back great, fast, and for less than the Men’s Warehouse would charge. I’ll be taking my business there in the future!
