David Leung Tailor

Wonderful tailor in the UES for a fair price and amazing work. He has stacks of clothes throughout his shop, peeks around the corner, and calmly measures you to get the perfect tailoring for your clothes.
Couldn’t be happier with his work. Great all around.

Best tailor in New York. We have been bringing him suits, dresses, jeans for years and every time we are impressed by the quality of his work. Look no further !

I went to him specifically from out of the neighborhood to get 4 shirts tailored. He only took measurements on one and was able to get all 4 to fit perfectly. Would definitely come again.

David is the best tailor in the UES. He’s altered dresses, suits, and even my wedding dress. He has a good eye and is open to giving advice on tailoring and fit. I highly recommend him and his team.

Good experience with Mr Leung. Gave me a few recommendations on alterations (some I took some I decided no on). Suit came out nice with some more difficult alterations along the shoulder/​neck. Not sure if sides of my suit were taken a bit too much or was on me for gaining some weight from the initial visit (something to keep in mind for the future). Price came to be about 160 for sides taken in on a double vent suit, pants hem and the alteration along the shoulder/​neck area. Suit was ready for pickup 6 days after dropping it off.

Had my skirt alterated here. Short waiting time, perfect work done, and reasonable price. Actually I am thinking maybe I should do my wedding dress alteration here instead of in the bridal’s salons.

He did a great job! Did a full suit.

A tailor that I trust in Carnegie Hill.
I have reached that point in life where all of my friends are getting married at the same time. This involves many different suits that supposedly fit but most certainly require alterations. For example, a friend recently provided my groomsmen attire in which the pants were so baggy they looked like something out of an MC Hammer music video.
I came to David Leung with my problem after much research on Unilocal,and it worked out very well. I stopped by after work one night and immediately received assistance. He was attentive in understanding my concerns and confident in his ability to make the appropriate adjustments. The measurements were accurate and honest. The pants were appropriately altered and fitted nicely. What I mean by honest is he could have also made minor modifications to the suit jacket, but he determined it looked good enough in its original state and provided a more cost effective approach. Changes to my pants were reasonably priced at $ 15, and he was upfront about his business being cash only.
I ended up looking sharp for the wedding thanks to David’s help. I will be sure to come back here to correct any future wardrobe malfunctions!

This tailor is in a great location, has friendly service, good turnaround time, quality work, but is expensive.
The reason for 3-​stars is for price. I had 2 cheap ($ 30) pairs of slacks taken in on the legs – they were too baggy and wide for my legs.
When the gentleman wrote my quote, of course I couldn’t read it, so I didn’t bother him to clarify his writing.
4 days later when I picked them up, he told me it was $ 80! 40 bucks per pant. I could have donated these ones, and bought myself 3 new pairs for that! Oh yeah, and ITS CASH ONLY. so my cheap pairs of pants just became verrrry expensive pants.
Lesson learned. Explicitly ask how much the service will be.

There is none finer then David. He is very professional and prompt in returning your garments. It’s just unfortunate that he doesn’t accept credit cards.

I found this place thru Unilocal.I checked out this place after I got off from work. When I walked into the store, a guy just came to serve me immediately. I told him if he could help me to fix my side pockets, he promised he can fix it. He is David after I asked for his name!!! And told me to come back 1 hour later. In my mind I was kinda doubt if he can finished it in 1 hour. Anyway, just give him a try. Came back after 1 hour. He was happy to see me here. Showed me what he had fixed and put it a new pockets. And later, helped me to put on my jacket.
Overall, I’m very happy and satisfied with his services, attitude, and prices. Will highly recommended!!!

David is very pleasant and skilled at his job. A little pricey compared to other people I’ve been to but worth it. He did a fantastic job on my bridesmaid dress for a wedding.

I had 4 indian outfits that even tailors in India could not get right– David Leung did a fantastic job getting them just right! They fit perfectly and I couldn’t be happier with the work done.

Altered my new suit pants and jacket within 30 mins. Can’t ask for any more faster. Best $ 15 I’ve spent.

He does great tailoring. He’s taken in the waist line of a skirt I bought for $ 40. He has also taken in the bust line of a dress I brought on for $ 20. Turn around time was 5 – 7 days

David’s the best around. I know he will always do a good job on anything I bring in for altering.
I went in yesterday to have a new coat altered. David said it wasn’t worth the money to fix it because nothing would make it look right.
While I was there, I showed David that I had gotten a scarf caught in the zipper in my tote bag. I was ready to rip the scarf out but David took his time and removed the scarf without any damage. He even ironed it because it looked wrinkled. He wouldn’t let me pay him for his time or service.
So nice to have an excellent tailor with integrity and kindness in the neighborhood!

David is terrific! I went in with an expensive ski jacket where the zipper came off track. I tried to fix it myself but was worried about making it worse. So googled for the best tailor in the UES and came across David. Read the reviews and went directly up to his shop. In little time he worked some magic and got the zipper working again. .. and at NO charge!
I knew it would be expensive to replace it and he confirmed that but said it would be much better if we just tried to fix it.
Can’t imagine going to any other tailor in the future if I need anything!
Thank you David.

Got an evening gown hemmed here. David was very professional and helpful, dress was done in 3 days for a reasonable price, and the sewing was flawless.

My neighborhood isn’t all that but the fact that I have David as a tailor nearby is a neat consolation. I’ve had 2 of my suits tailored, one a Ralph Lauren Black Label and the other a Dolce. I wanted more of a modern, European cut that is slim, he knew exactly what I wanted, and the measurements were expedient and painless. All in all, both suits came out ideally fitted to me, according to my expectations. If you need a new suit tailored or an old suit updated to reflect the latest trend, this is the place. I won’t be going anywhere else. The price is roughly ½ of a tailor in midtown east to whom I was recommended by a colleague at work. Needless to say, my colleague switched his tailor to mine after my experience =) Highest recommendations from me.

Excellent, fast, reliable tailor! I came to him needing last minute alterations to a new suit for a job interview. He turned it around very quickly and professionally. I am petite so I needed the sleeves altered and he did it flawlessly — you would never know it was altered. The prices are very reasonable and he works efficiently. I have to say I’ve found my go-​to tailor. That isn’t an easy feat in Manhattan… I’ve gone to several before where the hems will fall apart after a few uses. Not the case here at all. He even repaired some buttons on my winter coat in 10 minutes while I waited. Excellent and highly recommend!

An excellent tailor on the UES. Never any issues, great tailoring.
