James Andrew Custom Tailoring Shop

Came into James Andrew tailoring to get my suit tailored for a wedding. Was greeted by James himself and right off the bat I felt welcomed and cared for with the utmost professionalism. James told me my suit would be ready in about a week so I waited for the day to come. The day came where I was more than stoked to get my suit back! James did an amazing job on my entire suit. Amazing would be an understatement. He exceeded my expectations! I couldn’t be more happier with the job he did. So if your looking for a tailor that’s more than qualified look no further… James Andrew custom tailoring is the place to go!
Thanks again James!

I had a lot of dress shirts I wanted tailored beforw starting a new job and James did a great job ensuring each of them fit perfectly.
I am very happy with his work and I will be a repeat customer in the future.

I came here to get my wedding dress altered and he did a wonderful job ! It came out exactly how I wanted ! I had him do my whole bridal party as well. Everyone was so happy the way everything came out. He also gave me a great price on everything that needed to be fixed.

I love this place! Great work on my suit, good price for service, great people. James is really nice and made my first-​ever fitting comfortable and not embarrassing (I know nothing about suits). Jonathan is a cool guy to talk to as well. Highly recommended! I’ll be sending my brother here, too, and anybody else I know that needs tailoring. Thanks, James!

Very happy I chose to bring my wedding dress here instead taking it back to the bridal shop I purchased it from! They are accommodating, friendly, and gave me an amazing price on my dress with a bustle for the Reception.

This review is way over do but better late than never. I was in a situation where I needed a tailor last minute and I needed my suit by the following day. I was attending a funeral the next day, So I rushed to LA and on the way back to Whittier I started looking for someone to fix my new suit. I was rejected by at least 5 tailor locations after I told them that it was an emergency and I needed the following day, one tried to charge me some crazy amount. So I had to pass. Not that I’m tight with my money but due to the circumstances of our loss I was just out of cash. I arrived at a place in Arcadia where a man stated he will do it but he wanted me to pay way extra, he started to measure me and started marking my pants and sleeves. For some reason I felt like I should of pass on this location since he did not guarantee he would have it ready by tomorrow at 1 pm. I had finally gave up but then I decided to look for a place near my home in Whittier, I was was turned down by many, but then I found James on Unilocal and I called him. After I explained to him my situation he asked me to come right over and drop off the suit. When I arrived not only did he take the time to help but he also noticed and showed me that the previous guy was going to ruin my suit going by the marks that he left with the white chalk thing they use. The guy was going to leave it uneven. James not only did an excellent job but he also made my cheaply suit look like it was a higher end brand suit. Highly recommend this location. I usually don’t write reviews this long but this location deserves nothing but 5 stars. James gave me a excellent price by the way. Thanks a lot

Today I had an emergency repair needed on some slacks right before going to a wedding. I called in and they told me to come in. In 5 minutes they had repaired a torn seam in the side of my slacks and didn’t even charge me for it. I was so amazed at their customer service. They even steamed and pressed my slacks for me. I will never go to another alteration shop or tailor again. This is the kind of customer service people dream about. I would highly recommend anyone in the area come here for their customer service and workmanship. My pants look like they are brand new and no repairs were ever made.

My boyfriend came here to get a custom suit from James. Hands down the best tailor ever! His suit fit him absolutely perfect. We definitely will be driving out to La Habra just for his tailoring. Highly recommended!!!

I had this very cute outfit little loose on me and didn’t look right when I put it on. And this outfit is little complicated and not simple to alter. And I was really surprised not only he accepted to do the work, but he finished it and returned it to me PERFECTLY fitted on me!!! James’s work is amazing, and watching him through the process, you can see how much he dedicates his work and time on each pieces. And he is really sincere to his clients. If you have any clothes needs alteration, this is the place you can take it to. I am very happy I took my special clothes to James. :)

I found this place after searching through Unilocal read all the reviews before coming in to bring my wedding dress. I went to a different alterations shop and was skeptical on their professionalism considering they had a dog around all their clients clothing and it decided to pee on the floor when i had gone in for a quote… i love dogs don’t get me wrong but it had be a bit scared that it might pee on my dress… so off i went to take my dress to james alterations instead!
Immediately when i came in i was politely greeted and assisted. I tried my dress on and he made suggestions on what would make it a better fit… I had a really short time frame to get the dressed altered since i had to take it up to sacramento he was honest on his quote on how long it would take to do and got it done quickly my dress fit beautifully! He worked with my budget and made me feel at ease with all the wedding details you can tell he really cares and puts in the work to make every client happy. Thank you so much and cant wait until everyone sees my dress!

I came to James initially because of the positive reviews from Unilocal.I WILL be coming back to James because of the amazing customer service and extraordinary skill set he possesses in tailoring clothes.
I came in to get my dress pants tailored for a better slim fit. I came back two weeks later and he immediately welcomed me BY NAME. I was blown away how he remembered me from two weeks back from just one dress pant. I tried on the dress pant and it was a perfect fit! I am so happy I found a local tailor that I can 100% depend on.

My fiancé is a long time customer with James and is thoroughly satisfied with the quality of his work.
He is extremely attentive and meticulous with his craft. At one point in time, he was understaffed, but even then, James was able to deliver top quality service and alterations. You may have to go back a few times to get the right fitting, but with a little patience, it’s 100% worth it. With new additions to his staff, including his helpful son, Jonathan, we look forward to many great years ahead with James.

Great find through Unilocal!
James works alone for the most part so you can expect quality service (he grew up in the business), but you might be waiting because a solid tailor is always in high demand.
I brought a blazer in a few days before leaving for a cruise and he fit it into his schedule (I got it the day of departure). It fits great and he didn’t do anything I didn’t ask him to do. He called me first thing in the morning to let me know it would be an hour longer than expected because he wanted the job done proficiently and there’s no way I’d argue with that.
I’ll be back James!

I needed to get a suit altered, and luckily I found James on Unilocal.I’ve been to other tailors in the past, but none of them match up to James. His level of detail and the quality of his work are amazing.
I’ve gone to other tailors and asked them to slim down my suits, but they never understood what I meant. The suits were never as slim as I wanted them to be, and they always looked bigger. Once I went to James, he measured me and knew exactly what I wanted. He is very up to date with the fashion trends as well. He did an excellent job, and my suit fit me really well after it was completed. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends in the area, and I would definitely go back to get some of my other clothes altered by him as well.

Potential clients beware! I waited over three weeks and he still didn’t have any of my garments ready and even screwed up one of my dress pants that I had to fix it myself. The owners waits until the very last minute to work on the clothes and doesn’t know how to tailor correctly. Each and every piece I had needed a few adjustments to get it somewhat near what I wanted.
The owner spends more time trying to bullshit his customer by telling them how good he is but why can’t you deliver the quality?!
I will never return and will never suggest anyone else come here. Find yourself a real tailor and skip this place

I just picked up my boyfriend’s suit from James Andrew and wanted to comment on my experience, which has evidently been spectacular if you couldn’t tell by the 5 stars. First off, this man is a great tailor but a greater person. I dropped off a suit to be tailored on Friday, and he got it done exactly when I needed, only to call me in between days to make sure that what I wanted was what he was doing. Second, I wouldn’t listen to the comments left by the 1 star reviewer. When I was in the store, i literally heard him calling 4 of his clients to solicit feedback on his work, and that level of customer service is unheard of, folks. I recommend you all to this tailor, and even told me brother who is a lawyer that’s looking for a tailor to stop by here as well.

*This post is really late. For some reason it didn’t post when I submitted it a week ago.
James is one of the best tailors I’ve ever been to. He’s not only extremely precise with his work, he is honest, punctual with item delivery, and a genuinely nice guy. Combined with his very affordable prices, I wouldn’t even think to choose a different tailor.
He fixed my off the rack suit jacket to fit me like a glove. Will definitely return with more suits!

James did an impeccable work with my suit. I don’t mind waiting for a few days more to get the work done as long as I get a great quality tailored product. James listens to his customer’s needs, and executes his craft into a masterpiece.
I am pretty sure that I’d be going back and recommend him to my family and friends.
If you’re from the OC or wherever, it is worth driving to La Habra because James is the man for all your tailoring needs.
James Andrew is the tailor’s tailor.

James Andew is amazing! I had received my wedding dress 2 weeks before my wedding 2 sizes to big. I was so worried about finding a place that would alter my gown correctly because there was so much intricate beading. Places I had taken my gown to said it would $$$$$ fix which was to expensive for me considering my wedding was two weeks away. I literally took my dress to 5 different places. James Andrew tailoring was on my list but he was the furthest from me but I decided what the heck one more stop and then I will make my decision. I am so thankful I did, James Andrew was professional and his prices were great. I left feeling confident that I left my wedding gown in good hands. James Andrew kept me updated on what he doing and answered all my concerning questions. I got my dress a day before my wedding and it fit PERFECT. I could not have been more happier with the work he had done you couldn’t even tell where my dress was cut and fitted. I broke down crying every brides nightmare is the dress won’t fit. It brought me to tears how perfectly he altered my wedding gown to my body.
Thank You So Much James Andrew You Were Truly A Jem

IF I COULD GIVE MORE STARS, I WOULD!
James is a very humble, God-​fearing man that makes every effort in his work honest and thorough. I prefer quality over a rushed immediate satisfaction. I’m going out of the country tomorrow and James came through with my China-​pseudo-​Italian-​downtown LA suit looking like a tailored Italian suit. He knew I needed the suit before I left, and he even opened shop on a Sunday to come through with his service. Keep in mind… I’m not related to James nor affiliated with him in any way. This was my first time checking out the shop and I definitely felt welcomed.
This is also my first tailoring experience, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to find a tailor that is as honest and detail-​attentive as my brotha James. He presses all of his work before giving it back to you, just a testament of how James strives for great quality and perfection.
When I tried on my suits at pick-​up, James noticed that there was still a wrinkle in between the shoulders on the jacket (something I didn’t notice) and he fixed it on the spot.
if you’re in the LA/​OC area looking for a friendly tailor that produces honest craftsmanship, then look no further to this small shop in La Habra. Just realize it’s just him and another lady working, so make sure to give him enough time (approx 1 week) to get the work done. Thanks again, James! God bless :)
