John's Fashions Tailoring & Alteration

Excellent service! Bought a suit on Suitsupply, but after wearing it once I realized I’m an in-between size. John provided exactly the service I was looking for: gentle advice about fit, nothing pushy, with an emphasis on how the customer feels in their clothing. Alterations were done quickly and at a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended!

I just had a fabulous first experience with John, so I wanted to write a review. Twelve years ago, I had the good fortune to travel around Argentina and Uruguay. The dollar was strong, and the leather from that region is top notch the Italians import it to make their finery, so I bought myself a fabulous thick leather winter coat with lambskin lining. It's my favorite coat for travelling to real winter locations. And unfortunately, on a business trip to NYC last month, the zipper completely broke and two of the back-up fastening buttons became loose. I knew that it needed repairs before an upcoming business trip to Washington DC... I searched for tailors on Yelp and Google Maps in Oakland and Berkeley with expertise in leather, and came up with a short list of tailors with strong reviews. The goal was to find someone during the winter holiday season. John the Fashion Tailor was on the list. John was the first tailor shop who both answered the phone when I called during business hours, and was willing to take business in the week before Christmas. When I brought the coat in, he was clear with a fair price and reasonable time estimate for the work it's a tricky coat due to the thickness of the leather and the lining and it was the holiday season. I trusted the reviews that I found so I decided to go for it. I picked up the coat today, the day he estimated it would be done. His work is flawless. The new zipper is solid and beautiful, and looks like it was part of the original garment. The stabilized buttons are rock solid and look like they will be fine for at least the next dozen years. I was so pleased, I even gave him a small tip on top of the cost of the work. I will definitely return to John for any future tailoring needs, and am confident in referring others to him.

Very happy with the results of multiple bridesmaid dresses I've had altered over the years. The prices are reasonable and the turnaround time was on time.

Skilled, quick, reasonably priced, and nice.
