Kerrisdale Custom Tailors

they take a long time to get your clothes done but the quality is really good. If you're in a jam to get it done I wouldn't go here but otherwise totally worth itSurprised how very few people know how to sow including me :(

I left a somewhat expensive suit here for invisible mending required to fill in some moth holes. Picked it up a few months later and the work they did was satisfactory (good not great) but the rest of the suit had new damage all over it in extremely visible areas that wasn't there beforedrop-off. They claim this doesn't happen to other garmets in their possession (and therefore my situation was a case of us missing the additional holes that must've been present at drop-off). I inspected the suit meticulously to decide on what was to be mended and the current holes (that are painfully visible) were obviously not missed (they're worse than the holes we actually targetted for mending). They simply don't want to stand behind what they do (they don't just do mending, they should prevent damage to garmets while in their possession).I'm not sure if it's poor care of gamets or they have their own infestation. Don't bring natural fibres into this place (at the least). What a waste of $200 in addition to having a suit that's now completely useless.

I have been a patron of Kerrisdale Custom tailors for over 30 years. They have done amazing work from my school uniform, to grad dress to wedding dress and now my daughter’s uniform. 3 generations in my family bring their clothes to this establishment for alterations. Can’t say enough great things about Michael and Lynn. I have never been disappointed with their services. Highly recommend!

It was expensive but excellent work. I went to three other tailors before finding someone even willing to take the work on. They refurbished my over-loved Corneliani ID jacket by adding leather piping reinforcements on the cuffs along with elbow patches and vent corner reinforcements. Sharp work.

I've been a customer for years, for all my alterations. My wardrobe is mostly casual, but I have my jeans hemmed and waist taken in, and sleeve lengths on jackets and coats done on almost every purchase. Occasionally I have had arms and the body of a coat or jacket altered. Every time they have done a phenomenal job. Lyn has helped me with one or two creative projects. Only occasionally my items weren't ready or a minor error was made which Michael fixes without issue or drama. If you have an event, you need to tell them beforehand. There are many customers ahead of you and sometimes people come in with something deemed urgent, which they try to accommodate. As far as price goes, they are good, so they charge a bit more. For my type of clothing it's not so bad, but if you wear suits and special occasion dresses, yes you will need to pay more because those clothes require extra care, precision and skill, and often include more than one fitting.

Great service! I took in a difficult dress to be altered. They did an unbelievably good job. At first I thought the estimate was a bit more than I was wanting to spend but after seeing the alterations I got a deal for sure!

NOT RELIABLE AND EXPENSIVE!!!If you need your items by a certain day, do not come here!I dropped my jacket off on November 13th, 2021 and was told to pick up on November 27th, 2021. Went there today at 3pm and was told it wasn't done yet and to come back at 5pm. I returned at 5pm and was told it was still not completed yet and to return on Wednesday, December 1st.I needed my jacket for an event in a few days and 2 weeks for tailoring a shouldve been more than enough time. My jacket costed about $120 only but the tailoring was $131.25. I was willing to pay more than the cost of my jacket because I heard this place was good. They also lost my garment bag and kept insisting they didn't take it. If I were willing to pay more than the cost of my jacket, I would not lie about a garment bag. This place wasted so much of my time and now I don't have my jacket ready for my event.

a very professional tailor shop - who accommodated both my requests promptly and they were well done.I would not hesitate to use Kerrisdale Custom Tailors again.

One of the few places that still offers invisible mending. At the recommendation of Oakridge Tailors I took a very expensive coat there that had a small hole - not a tear - in a highly visible spot, and the quality of the repair is unbelievably good. It is virtually impossible to see where the finely woven fabric has been mended. Outstanding work, highly recommended for this. Have not had an opportunity to see their actual tailoring, so this review is strictly for the invisible mending, but the owners, premises, and staff left a good, friendly, and competent impression.
