Tony’s Tailor Shop

Great place! Took some pants here for alterations. Great job and affordable. Have a need for alterations? This is the place!

My whole family has been coming to Tony for over a decade now. Love the hemming and repairs he does for a very reasonable price.

He’s good at what he does, but whats hard about tailoring pants… However, he gave me very inconsistent prices. He charged me $ 15 for a pair of pants at $ 6 for hemming and $ 9 for tapering. But when I went back to him with a different pair of pants he charged me $ 15 again for just a tapering (I got the pants hemmed for free at nordstrom). I explained to him that I should be paying $ 9 but he explains that he had to cut the seam and it was hard… I was not happy about paying an extra $ 6 dollars.
He’s pretty rude… I’ve gone to him for 3 years and he always acts like I’m an intruder. I finally asked him if he remembers me and he said «eh … a little» That’s what I get for being a loyal customer.

For simple work this is the place to go. Yes, it’s dated with yellowing posters hanging on the wall and an old iron that looks like it should be in the Smithsonian (though it probably works better than most newer models). But, if you’ve got a simple job that needs to be done in about a week and don’t want to spend a fortune then I highly recommend Tony’s Tailor Shop.
The other day I dropped in to have a pocket tear repaired. He took a look at it, stuck it under the sewing machine, and fixed it in about 10 seconds — no charge! For a guy like me that doesn’t have a sewing machine (and has no desire to buy one) I would have gladly paid for that repair — quick and simple though it was.
Did his face light up with a glowing smile? No. Did he fall over backwards trying to make me feel desired? No. But did he get the job done? Yes! This guy is old school. Customer service to him is not about pretending to like you in order to prove that he values your choice of him as a tailor. It’s about getting the job done. He might not say anything at all. But with a grunt and a stitch he fixed the tear in my pants and that’s what I cared about.
If you’ve got something complex and/​or trendy or you need your ego stroked then you’ll simply have to go elsewhere and pay more. If you take a look at the reviews I think you’ll note the pattern: people with simple needs and looking for a bargain are happy with Tony’s; people with more complex needs have been more critical.
What are your needs? Answer that and you’ll know if Tony’s Tailor Shop is for you.

I have been coming to tonys for over 25 years. The work takes as long as it takes but it doesn’t disappoint. Very fairly priced. This man is a true artist of his craft.

I’ve been bringing my clothe to Tony for several years, and I have to say that I’ve never been let down. He knows how I like things done, and his prices are very reasonable. His turnaround has always been about a week, but for his workmanship, I think it’s worth the wait. It’s extremely helpful to have a tailor that has grown to know you pretty well. He’s been doing this for almost half a century, so he knows his stuff inside and out.
Bring your suits/​shirts/​pants to Tony and he’ll make you look like the dapper dude you think you are.
Cash only.

I’ve tailored many suits, pants, etc in my life and this place is by far the WORST. So I got referred to Tony’s Tailor by a coworker saying it’s the best tailor in town. I recently bought another suit and I needed to get the pants tailored. Nothing crazy, just had to tailor the length. Tony said it would take a week, which I thought was kinda long, but I said no problem as I was in no rush.
Fast forward a week, I come in to pick up my pants and he has trouble finding it. So I had to go in the back to help him look for it. After 5 mins, I finally found it and it was untouched. He didn’t tailor the pants. He apologized and said to come back by 5 p.m. and it will be «taken care of.»
I come back at 5:50 p.m. to give him some time and to my surprise, it was left at the same spot I found it. He did NOTHING to my pants.
As you can probably figure out, I took my pants back and decided to go to another tailor. This place is horrible. I work in a customer/​client service business and I’ve never had such poor service. Not only did he not tailor my pants, he was rude about it, like it was my fault.
I never want to talk bad about a business, but in this case, I have to speak up. If you want your clothing tailored at a timely fashion, do not come here! If you expect to be treated properly, do not come here! I

Got a dress shirt adjusted and when I went to pick it up, the work was off by a whole inch. Went home and realized some of my other shirts were off as well. I’ve also noticed that there is often lots of loose threads on my shirts when I get them back. Recently I got back a pair of dress pants that were hemmed way too short.
I can’t recommend this shop anymore.
I’ve decided to go elsewhere for my tailor needs. In the end, the lack of precision and attention to detail is just too much.

Changed a pair of flared leg jeans to straight leg. I was a bit worried bc I had a horrible experience with another pair of jeans elsewhere and these jeans were over $ 200. I was very happy when I picked them up, they did an amazing job! I will definitely return.

The reviews sounded excellent, so I decided to bring a jacket in to have the sleeves shortened, to give Tony’s a try.
I’ve had bad experiences with other tailors, and have been looking for someone I could trust and rely on. I had hoped this would be the one.
One problem I’ve had with prior tailors was with jacket sleeves. The good tailors I’ve used always re-​do the sleeves as they were, inside and outside. (This involves cutting and mitered corners.) The poor ones just fold some fabric over and sew it up (which usually leaves the opening at the end of the sleeve sticking out in an odd way.)
When I walked into Tony’s, I almost turned right around and left. The smell of cigarette smoke permeated the place. (How could a tailor possibly smoke in his shop. or allow anyone to smoke there?) A week in that environment would surely leave my jacket reeking. …But the reviews were so good, I still wanted to take a chance.
I said hello, and Tony (I would presume that was who it was) looked up and muttered a greeting. (He didn’t seem overly happy to see a customer walk into his shop.)
I told him I wanted the sleeves shortened on my jacket, and explained that I’d had bad luck with the work of previous tailors, asking if he had any jacket sleeves he had shortened, that I could look at.
I had hoped he would proudly bring out an example or two of his fine work for me to see, but instead he just grunted «over there» and motioned to a rack behind the counter.
I walked over and looked inside the sleeve of the first jacket. The fabric had just been folded over (working button holes and all) and sewn up inside the sleeve.
I thanked him and told him that I didn’t believe this was exactly what I was looking for. and left (as I guess I should have done in the first place.)
Why is this guy so popular? Is it the prices? From what I saw, it certainly couldn’t be the work!

Tony has been making my clothes fit perfectly for the past 15 years. His prices havent seem to have increased during this time, maybe by $ 1!!!
The quality of his work is top notch, knowing a thing or two about clothes and the way they fit, I can say that Tony’s tailoring and alteration work is top notch. Local artisans like this are a rare breed and finding him those many years ago is one of the best things to have happened to me.

This place is awesome. Yes, it’s a tiny, hole-​in-​the-​wall old school shop, but the work is flawless. I get my pants and jeans hemmed there for only $ 6 a pair. Don’t expect anything fancy. Just a basic hem. I started going there about 3 years ago (when it was $ 5), and Tony has never disappointed me. The hems look totally professional, as if they were purchased that way. The only minus is, you can’t expect to get your pants back in a rush, and he doesn’t do chainstitching or original hem. If you want real professional work done on your denim, including getting holes re-​weaved in your denim, try
. (Disclosure: I do blog for them, but you need to check out their site to see for yourself.) Their work is nothing short of a miracle. Otherwise, Tony’s a bargain and best bet for all your basic local tailoring needs.
