Maestro Custom Tailor

Took a pair of knit pants in for hemming. Only took them 30 seconds to mark them — which had me a little concerned, but when I got them back they were quite properly hemmed to the perfect length with a very nicely finished edge. A job well done, and delivered on the day promised. My only gripe is that $ 18 seems a bit pricey for a simple hemming job, but it was stretchy fabric, which can be tricky, and is the reason I wouldn’t try to do it myself. I will definitely try them again.

As the son of an «old school» Italian tailor to celebrities and Presidents, I’m very picky about my alterations. Spoiled i guess you could say. Then I found Maestro’s. Reuben and Christina do a fantastic job. Reuben is precise in his artwork. I’ve had many suits and pants tailored there with perfect results. The best kept secret in the SGV is the custom-​made shirts that Reuben makes. Prepare to be spoiled by a perfect fitting, comfortable shirt. If you wear a tie every day, this is a MUST. Great fabrics, reasonable pricing and perfect fit. What more can you ask for? Oh, BTW, they are also a great cleaner! Thank you Maestro’s.

Need an old world tailor this is the place. We had a very good experience here. First my husband hadmade a custom pants and shirts, then he decided to try a custom suit. We went to Maestro to pick a fabric, we were amazed he showed us the best quality fabrics from different countries (made in Italy, made in England…).We picked a wool cashmere super 180’s for my husband’s suit. He got the measurements and told us he needs to do at least two fittings and it will be ready in one month. A week later we got a phone call for the first fitting. The jacket was on a mannequin with a lot of handstitched marks on it. My husband tried the jacket and the pants. He marked the pants that required adjustments with some chalk. The jacket was perfect. He told us to come back in two weeks. He doesn’t need the second fitting. My husband was pretty impressed. We came back in two weeks, the suit was ready .My husband tried it again it fitted perfectly. He was very pleased with the work. We left the shop and definitely coming back. Thank you Maestro for an outstanding job.

Took a TUX in for alteration for my husband — they did a really good job. He looked terrific in it at our company Christmas party — thanks!

Unfortunately, based on the strong positive reviews from others, I went to Maestro thinking that they could hem a dress and fix a torn strap on my heels — kill two birds with one stone. I like to give my business to small places. For the dress, a chiffon sundress with many yards of fabric, they wanted to charge me $ 75 to the hem on the logic that it is akin to 50 pant hems. That was a ridiculous quote; I took it to my dry cleaners and they hemmed it for $ 28. I was also worried that their reference point was men’s pants. It does appear to be mainly what they do – men’s clothing. And with the heels, since I was there anyway, I decided I’d leave them. They said that they’d charge $ 8 per strap, and there were 2 that needed fixing. They said they’d be ready by the following Saturday. I went, the Tuesday after the Saturday, and they apologized saying that the person who worked on them was very sick. I am sorry that someone close to them was ill, but I thought it was very unprofessional of them not to call or let me know. I called the following Saturday, the shoes having been in their care for 2 weeks now, and asked if they were ready. The man apologized again, saying that their uncle was still ill. I have sympathy, but what bothered me immensely was that if I gave them 30 minutes, they’d fix them for me. I thought — if it’s only a 30 minute job, why didn’t they take care of it 2 weeks ago? I declined, and told them to please not work on my shoes. I realize they may be experiencing some sort of hardship, but it is not an excuse for poor customer service. I’ve been to shops where, to make sure that they meet their deadlines, they pay for something to be handled at another shop. At the very least, they inform me so I don’t have to waste my time. I will not be back. Maybe, if I were hemming pants like men’s pants, or if I lived right by them, I’d give them another shot, but this was not a good first (and only) experience.

I had a pretty good experience here. I brought a Navy G1 jacket for 24 patches to be sewn on for them. I had a diagram so they would know where to exactly them on the front, back and sleeves. The project was tough, they told me it would take a month and that was expected. I told them to take their time.
From time to time I called in to ask if the had any questions and they said, «no». It was about the 27^th or 28^th day and I was getting nervous so I called in to check in on them. The son answered the phone and said it was done. I hauled over there expecting it not to not prefect but it was the opposite. It was beautiful! The father laid the patches down to a ¹⁄₁₆^th of an inch and fit them all perfectly.
I’ve worn the jacket three time since I’ve had it. Every single time I’ve had compliments on it and once one guy cried in line at Disneyland. I wish I could show this jacket to you then maybe you understand. Most definitely anyone in the military would appreciate it.
Thank you Maestro for an outstanding job!

My wife and I have been using Maestro for 15 years. The service is great as are the prices. I had a emergency with one of my son’s scout uniforms at 3PM within 30 minutes they had repaired his uniform and only charged $ 5.00
A bit of movie trivia, in the movie Dude Where’s My Car the scene where the boys discover they have tattoos on their back was filmed here.
There is also a shoe repair in the back.
