King’s Custom Tailoring & Alteration

They do good work and are reasonably priced. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-​star rating is the language barrier.

Brought in an expensive leather jacket that needed a new zipper. The repair was done quickly and very well and at a reasonable price. Can’t ask for more. Would highly recommend.

Did a wonderful job replacing a section of material in a dress. Perfect job at a great price. A little language barrier but not a big deal. I’d definitely use again and definitely refer to my friends.

This place has been there for me time and time again. I found them on Unilocal and saw they had great reviews. I took a very expensive dress there and trusted they would do a good job with it and it could not be more perfect. The dress was two sizes too big and when I tried it on after a second time, it was like the dress was made for me. I took my prom dress there that was also extremely pricey and draped in a complicated way and they hemmed it to the perfect length and the stitching was impeccable. Everyone should trust Kings Custom Tailor to make them look great! Aside from the slight language barrier, they do a superb job. Very nice couple, I have always been pleased.

This place rules. I brought my motorcycle jacket in around 5:30 pm on a Wednesday to have it taken it in the body and sleeves. The first place I went to said it would take a month and that since it was heavy waxed cotton he would have to use a «special machine» and it would cost about 100 $. I went to Kings and the guy measured me and what I wanted with the jacket. He said «30 bucks, it will be ready tomorrow» I was floored! Paid and came back the next day to grab it. Jacket fits like a glove and his work was perfect. Totally recommend this place!

I wanted a dress made and brought a night gown in the style I wanted the dress to Kings Custom Tailor. I had trouble communicating with the owner because of his broken English but he said I’d have to go and buy the material as he didn’t have anything in the shop for my dress. Not knowing anything about materials, and unable to make myself understood to him, I bought material on my own at JoAnn’s fabric store. I didn’t want 100% cotton because I don’t like to iron. I bought a cotton-​poly blend, matching buttons, and gross grain ribbon for under the buttons, aling with lace fir around the collar. The material was too stiff once it was made into a dress. He didn’t say anything about it when I brought him the material, only afterwards. When I tried on the dress it didn’t fit right. I didn’t like it at all, aside from the wrong fit up top, the material was stiff and it looked like an ill-​fitting house dress. He said it wouldn’t get softer after washing. He said it took too long to do it and it wasnt worth his time. He said I should have bought soft material like the sample nightgown I brought in. Now he tells me! I asked for credit towards making the dress over with new materials. He only agreed to half credit. Because said he’d give me the credit I bought new material. He wouldn’t give me credit for half the prior dress once he realized I’d only have to give him a small amount more. He refused, but I was already down $ 60.00 for labor and materials for two dresses. I gave him more money to do the second dress and showed him how long I wanted it but he thought it should be shorter so he made it a little shorter than I showed him. This is the last time I’ll patronize his shop. It was not worth MY time to go there!

I could not be happier with King’s custom alterations that were done to my bridesmaid dress 2 days before my best friends wedding and even the week of thanksgiving! I originally took my dress to Foxy dry cleaners in Newbury park, NEVER AGAIN! Not only did they have my dress for almost three weeks the daughter of the owner refused to alter my dress the way I wanted it because she said it would ruin the dress because it had beading. Well it turns out she was just lazy and only wanted to do what she wanted and not what the customer wanted. Then I took my dress to «THE KING» the day before thanksgiving and he had my dress done the Friday after turkey day and it was just the way I wanted it!!! He saved my poor dress! The king saved my day and relieved me of all the stress that awful lady had put me through. I will forever have him alter any piece of clothing I have. I will HIGHLY recommend him to all of my family and friends!!!
Oh and I almost forgot to mention I paid less than that awful lady at Foxy dry cleaners! Great quality work and great price plus extremely fast service! I couldn’t be more satisfied! See photo of gold dress**

Small parking lot in a strip mall. It is a small store filled with bolts of wonderful cloth. There’s a dressing room and the work space in back.
He made 3 vests and tailored a number of suits, shirts, pants for us.
Friendly gentleman with broken English. We didn’t have trouble communicated what we needed. He was able to do the tailoring quickly but the custom items took more time.
If you need more alternations– this is the place.

The guy seems friendly, but to be honest, the language barrier was too severe. I went in to get some simple suit measurements done, and try to strike up a conversation. The whole time I was there, all I got in response were smiles, mumbles, hand gestures, and the only English words were «hip» and «inseam». How am I supposed to communicate the type of fit and style I am looking for when I ask for a measurement «around my wrist», gesturing, and he measures my sleeve length…
I could see this working for simple alterations like hemming pants, but if you’re picky about the fit for an entire suit, stay away.

I decided to give this place a try after reading Jill C’s review, and boy, am I glad I did! The tailor/​owner is really nice and professional, and he does impeccable work. Even my husband (who is so picky, he hems his own pants) was impressed. Plus, he has the lowest rates in the area at only $ 10 per pair of regular pants, even jeans! (Pants with a lining inside cost a little bit more. I called half a dozen other places in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, and they ranged from $ 12-​$ 16.50) I will be taking all my alterations here going forward.

I have had my entire wardrobe tailored here — twice (due to weight loss). They are excellent! My clothes look as if they were originally made for me. Love this place! Never have to worry that the alteration will ruin the garment. Prices are reasonable. $ 10/​seam avg. A bit more if there is a lining.
