Best Tailor in Canada

J	J F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Old school tailor that gets the job done fast and cheap. .Don't let the inside of the shop fool you. Ben knows what he's doing, from expert jean hemming, zipper repairs on clothing and bags and he even altered my leather jacket one time! (yeah, that's right, a leather jacket.).
R	Robert M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This guy has been around as far back as I can remember. I took in a jacket for a zipper repair today, 5 bucks and 5 minutes. Great deal and good service! His English is not that great as I tried to explain and he said let me see and gave me the price. The store is the very same as it was when I was a kid.
L	Lilian Seow on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was the worst nightmare with Mr Kwan tailor. He examined the collar and advised to change the entire stained white collar with new white cotton. Picked up a week later and to my horror, the new white collar is replaced with aged old yellowish white with a burnt mark, wrinkled [glued]. A lesson learnt for $15 - never returned.
G	G on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ PROS: -Very fast -cheap -might be good for altering older stuff, or cheaper clothes -might be good for simple alterations e.g. shortening pants. CONS: -Bad for altering expensive things, if you have a nice lining on your suit and it has to be removed for alterations - it will not be placed back nicely. Lining on my blazer looked plain butchered. -Bad for altering multi-layered things -Ben understands English, but there is no reasoning with him, and he will not engage in a discussion with you. Also, no discussion will happen about the work done - he literally will just look you in the eye and say multiple times "it's ok, it's ok" till you just give up trying to explain that the work he has done is not what you have asked for - good luck getting that thrift store/ moth ball smell out of your clothes. - marks from yellow pencil left on visible sections of clothes BOTTOM LINE: I spent $75 only to ruin my brand new $400 blazer, and made it smell like mothballs. Pretty upsetting :(
D	Daniel Gore on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I could have done a better job myself. I came in for a zipper pull replacement, and the tailor destroyed the zipper in the process. A shoddy sewing job to hold the cut parts of the zipper together failed within a couple of weeks.
C	CHE CHE on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I called in to check how much he will charge for shirt alternation for comparison with other tailors as this time everything is expensive. He answered the phone, "Hello, what do you want?! You come to my store". He seems pretty upset coz I bothered him. I don't know if he charges cheap but I don't care anymore. I just don't want to get a service from him.
C	Charlotte Shi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Poor workmanship. Obviously, very little skill and attention to the repairs. Unfortunately, didn't have time to check when I picked up. The new zipper isn't even attached fully to the bag, leaving a large uncloseable opening. I'm surprised there are such positive reviews one here. Suspect they're fakes. Anyway, I'm out the cost now and don't have time to make the trip back.
G	Greg T. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Brought in my daughter's dress (as a flower girl), to have it altered as it was too big for her. When it was done it fit her perfectly. I had my reservation at first as the quote given was fairly cheap. Since I was happy with that result and price I brought in my snowboard pants to be shortened 3 months later. I couldn't find any snowboard pants of the same quality (Patagonia $300) but shorter in seam, I looked for awhile, that I just decided to get it hemmed at this place. I couldn't be happier with the results. And it was done just in time for my trip up to the mountains. My experiences so far, has been great at this and his pricing is way lower than any othe places that I've used in the past.
