Classic Tailors

Great service every time I stop by. They do everything from jeans to dress pants and they do it with great attention to detail. Neda has a lot of experience and asks the right questions. Best spot in LA if you ask me. They also sell a lot of nice clothes as well, I bought an Italian vest that I still wear to this day. Highly recommend

Classic Tailors just changed ownership and I am DELIGHTED with the new owners. They are very professional, their work is outstanding and they try their best to please you. I recommend them highly! Their work is outstanding even with difficult alterations.

Always satisfied with Classic Tailors. They have provided quality work for my son, my husband and myself for 10 years. Whether it’s a pair of jeans to be hemmed or a beautiful dress or suit to be altered to fit, Classic will expertly tailor it. I love that they now will text you when your items are ready for pick up!

Great service and a text letting me know my stuff was ready, a day early! Great place!

Neda at Classic Tailors has been my go-​to seamstress for years. She not only does flawless alterations, but she understands the silhouette of each piece of clothing and how it should lay on the body.
Once, she completely remade a bridesmaid dress for me. It was unflattering and when she was done it perfectly accented my shape and was custom to my measurements.
She is a pleasure to work with, provides great service (even in short turnaround times) and her work is impeccable! I strongly recommend Classic Tailors!

Just now getting around to writing my review.
I had a custom 8oz wool kilt made for my wedding for July 2015, but I lost more weight than I thought so the kilt was extra loose even on the tightest strap holes. I took it to Classic Tailors and they suggested a solution that wouldn’t take away from the traditional look of the kilt. They moved the buckles themselves back about an inch on each side. There were no tears, no odd threads, nothing to suggest the new position wasn’t the original position. They also did it within a few days even though they had numerous other items they were working on. I was and am still very satisfied with the work they did.

Classic was my preferred tailor for about 5 years. I like Borris. He is easy to work with and usually does correct measurements. If Borris is busy, I try to wait for him rather than work with anyone else.
I’m not in love with their hours. On weekdays they seem to close when I’m
getting off work and rush hour makes it hard to get there. On Saturdays, they close on the early side.
The shop smells like moth balls. And I haven’t decided whether that is a good thing or not.
It’s a 4 because of the length of time to complete a job, the hours don’t work as well as I’d like. The shop is clean and the fitting room are inviting. I would give a 5 if it was a little quicker to get alterations done (and if the jeans they shortened awhile back were at that half break mark).
That being said, I still think they are one of the better tailors in Santa Monica.

Have been coming here for years
Boris and Rosa are great people, always accommodating. Quality, craftsmen ship, service
I can’t say enough about this place
Classic Tailors you Rock! Thank you

I have been bringing my tailoring needs here for a few years now. Boris is a great guy and always so accommodating.

Brought a couple custom suits that needed to be better tailored here. Great reviews online and also from folks around town but now I realize it must have been for easy pant hemming because the quality of work here is terrible. They adjusted a couple jackets for me and only when I brought them home I was able to see the shotty stitching that fell apart and the cheap alteration tape falling apart after 1 day! Completely ruined $ 2500 worth of suits that I now need to get fixed. Pictures are included and this place is clearly not recommended. Stay away with anything nice or valuable.

This review is specifically for Rosa. Boris, her husband, is an amazing, kind and sweet man.
My husband and I had come in a year ago to tailor his wedding suit. We came back with basic alterations and repairs. While dropping off our repairs, we purchased a suit from Boris. We didn’t have my husbands shoes and shared our concerns if the hem will be correct. Boris said to not worry and if we didn’t like it, he’d fix it. «No problem.»
When we returned the next day the pants didn’t fall correctly and bunched in the front. Rosa immediately got upset and in a rude tone said that I saw the length yesterday and that «we are all adults» and I should have said that I didn’t like the length the day before. Not quite sure wth being an adult has to do with not liking the break in the pants. I responded sharply that «my husband also didn’t have his shoes yesterday and that Boris said it wasn’t going to be a problem to fix if we didn’t like it.»
She fixed the pants. She semi apologized saying its «hard to fix» yet the pants were done in 20 minutes??? When my husband addressed that she was rude to his wife. She responded, «here’s your suit.»
My husband and I are highly disappointed because we live in the neighborhood and try to support local businesses. Needless to say we shall NEVER return.

This place is one of a kind. I have been going here for over 10 years. Ever since I bought my first suit Boris has been my guy. I once thought the service was necessary only for that occasional fix but I have come to realize the importance of a good tailor. And I am proud to call Boris MY tailor. Just as everyone needs a good doctor, lawyer, financial advisor and CPA, the same is true of a tailor. Boris is not simply a professional. He is patient and knowledgeable and his attention to detail is unrivaled. I have trusted Boris and Rosa and their team with every article of clothing: suits, ties, jeans, shirts, and even a leather jacket. Given the fast-​paced, mechanized world in which we live Boris stands out as a true craftsman. Boris, I salute you!

Boris makes suits look like they were custom made/​bespoke. It’s miraculous. moreover, he has an eye for making clothing ordinarily made for taller people look perfectly natural and proportioned on a shorter guy. no rise is too long on a pair of pants that he cant fix to accommodate and flatter a shorter stature.
he has a sure customer in me here for as long as he’s around.

Wonderful service, incredibly attentive, exquisite work. Recently bought a new blazer off the rack at a different store — top quality wool, but the fit left something to be desired. Took it to Classic Tailors to have it tapered a bit — pretty standard fare for a jacket off the rack. I also asked for functional buttonholes at each cuff. Picked up the jacket this morning (a week earlier than I had originally expected it) and all of the work is stellar. I’ve read that the quality of a buttonhole speaks volumes about the skill of the tailor. Without a doubt — the new cuff buttonholes are top notch. Would recommend Classic Tailors to anyone.

This place is awesome. Need a quick fix on a split seam and was in and out in 10 mins. Plus the suits and sport coats are fantastic, so I made a few purchases too!!!

Big nightmare, do not go here!
I made the mistake of supporting a local business and bringing them a several pieces of clothing to alter, rather than testing their services with one piece first. The recap:
1) Blue jeans — needed hem, create an ankle slit, and use gold thread.
The result — no slit, and hemmed with wrong thread color
2) 2^nd pair blue jeans — needed new zipper.
The result — zipper replaced, but they also hemmed the jeans (NOT wanted!) and the length was not only too short to wear, but one leg shorter than the other!
3) Nightgown that needed to be shortened, and replace the lace trim.
The result — a crooked hemline.
The worst part is that the jeans were expensive — they ruined over $ 600 of merchandise. I became very upset and the owner started yelling at me, telling me that I was pulling a scam on them! He accused me of buying the jeans «used» online, and now I was scamming them to make money. He wouldn’t take accountability, and started yelling at the seamstress who started crying, fearing she would lose her job.

This gentleman was top notch. We went in on a Friday because we desperately needed a suit for an event on Monday. We are from the east coast and had left our suit bag hanging by the door at home in a mad rush to the airport. Anyway, Long story short… he hooked my handsome guy up with a gorgeous Hugo Boss suit, he tailored it over the weekend and it was ready to go Monday morning at 9:30am. Excellent service and a great deal!

Honestly, Classic Tailors are a triple threat. Great Quality, Service, and Pricing. I took in a dress that I got altered elsewhere that completely ruined it. So I thought, Boris and Roza Fixed everything! I am so pleased! I would recommend Classic Tailors for everyone who likes fast and friendly service.

New customer and very pleased with the work. I had two pairs of jeans hemmed and they came out perfectly! Quick and friendly service. I will definitely come back here for any alterations I need in the future.

Really nice guy, I came in under time restrictions to have a pair of jeans tailored and he delivered everything as promised.
Will definitely return.
