Wilshire Tailor

Best tailor shop in LA, in my opinion, and Paul is the most knowledgeable and talented tailor I have met. He’s OG and knows his craft. My body type is not easy to tailor to– short, broad shoulders, wide upper back, and big chest, with a slimmer mid section and waist– somewhere in between a 40s and 42s. Buying suits for me is usually a nightmare, unless they are made to order for my measurements– and even then, they are not dead on. I brought him a groomsmen suit that I needed to have tailored for a wedding I’m in, and he nailed it on first try. He also gave me a lot of advise for future reference, on picking quality suits (buying for the «overpriced» fused, designer label vs investing a bit more for a quality canvased suit, finding suits for my body type, etc.). It’s a little pricier than having your dry cleaners tailor your suit, but why use a hatchet for a job that requires a scalpel? As another reviewer wrote, you get what you pay for.

Amazing talior! These guys have tailored four suits, several sport coats and pairs of pants, and they have nailed it every time on the first fitting. Even at high end store with in-​house tailors, I am used to doing at least two fittings. Not with these guys. Also, on my suits, I am generally used to having tailors shorten the sleeves from the cuff up, which can be tricky with some suit makers that now make «fake» buttonholes where they sew a line under the buttons to make it look like hole. If you shorten the sleeves from the cuff, obviously you have to remove all of that stitching. I have had these guys do it both ways – shorten from the cuff and remove the stitches, which is tricky on some fabrics, but also shorten from the shoulder. Taking a suit jacket up from the shoulder is more expensive because it takes longer and not every tailor can make that look flawless. These guys have, again on one fitting.
Don’t expect your things back quickly — if you’re flexible because that suit you got on sale at the end of the season or it’s been hanging in the closet for a while, use these guys. If you need it done overnight or in a couple days, I’m not sure this is your place.

Best tailor in town. Paul is old school so don’t expect your feelings coddled. He is a professional who understands menswear better than most places I’ve gone through (tailors for Astor & Black) Pricey? You get what you pay for.

Paul and Mary at Wilshire Tailor run absolutely the best custom tailoring shop in LA. Meets or exceeds any tailoring experience I’ve had in NYC. I brought in two Burberry suits, one of which needed fairly extensive modification to the jacket, and both were done with expert attention to detail. I will definitely stay loyal to Wilshire Tailor — a true gem.

One of the best tailors that I’ve found! I’ve recommended everyone I know and they love Paul too!

First off, Paul is an awesome guy. nice caring etc. — However his work was not as top notch as I expected.
Was referred to him by people from
.
Had a brand new Hickey Freeman Suit tailored — jacket was amazing! Pants on the other hand were way off.
Butt and crotch area way too tight, so I had to take it back again for a touch up. Good thing he charged $ 0.00 on the touch up.
I went again the next week to pick them up. crotch area and butt STILL a bit too tight. I did not want to contest and make him redo it once more… so I hav eto go to a different tailor.
When I came home the pant width did not match on each leg… very dissapointed.
For the price of roughly $ 130, i expect great work. I will not come here again. even though Paul is a chill guy

This is by far the best tailor I’ve ever been to. Brought in 2 suit Jackets and he did a tremendous job. Even pointed out a few extra things he did, as he wanted me to have the best fit and wanted to make sure his reputation will be untarnished.
He shortened the sleeves of both Jackets to keep the buttons in place and rotated the sleeves a little so they don’t bulge up while the arms hang straight down. Also made a little more room for my biceps without asking, but it fit even better afterwards without losing anything of the otherwise perfect fit of the Jacket.
Yes, it isn’t really cheap, but it is absolutely worth it.
Will never go anywhere else.

I recently returned to Paul to have an RLPL and Isaia sportscoats tailored. The work that came back was exceptional. Didn’t even know tailoring could achieve this level of fit.
Very pricey but you get what you pay for, no doubt about it.

Paul is the best tailor around. I don’t care what anyone else says. He has tailored countless items for me, from my daily jeans to all of my work suits (Burberry, Versace, Canali, Ermenegildo Zegna). Anything you take to him will come back fitting like it was made just for you. And he’s great with adding finishing touches, like functional sleeve buttons on suits. When you want to look great, come see Paul. When you want to look good or OK, see someone else.
I don’t mean to sound so pretentious, but that’s the difference between looking good and looking GREAT. And yes, for those of us who can tell the difference, it’s worth the slightly extra money.

Great tailor! Worth the extra money you’d spend here compared to other places.
I’ve been to several so called expert tailors and ended up seeing my suits and sport coats ruined. So now I’m really careful when it comes to picking them.
I went to Paul on the recommendation of a friend and also because he was listed in magazines like Esquire for being one of the best tailors in LA. I went to get my Ralph Lauren sport coat fitted (the sides needed to be taken in a bit and the sleeves slightly shortened), and my jeans hemmed (original). He also fitted the sides of the jeans all the way from the waist, down to the knee and leg opening. They fit perfectly now. The guy obviously knows what he’s doing and he listens closely to what you want done.
As for the parking, there’s an indoor lot in the same building as the store. Paul will validate your stub and you’re set.

They say you get what you pay for. In this case, I’d say that’s true. I took an evening gown here to be hemmed because it was just an itty-​bit too long. It was a Saturday and Paul and Mary were inside and greeted me and took me straight to the little fitting room. Paul measured and measured again and then made sure I was pleased with the length he marked on the dress.
I also brought along a pair of trousers that looked as though they were made for someone on stilts and he helped me with those, too. All together the fee was $ 80. I thought this was a little steep but seeing that the dress looks great, I’m not going to complain. I think it was a tough task.
My garments were ready in 5 days but I’m sure if I had asked for them sooner they would have tried to help me with the timing. I haven’t worn the dress yet but the trousers are perfect. I’ll go back next time I’ve got lots o’hemming, because when you want something done right, you go to an expert.
My only complaint is the parking– it’s really hit or miss. I had to pay $ 1.50 when I went to pick my stuff up because there wasn’t street parking available. $ 1.50! I was there for less than 5 minutes! Wilshire Blvd. Robbery!
