Paul Chang Custom Tailors

I love my new tailor.
Paul Chang is a god among tailors. He really knows his stuff. I’ve taken a few thing to him twice now and he has not disappointed me.
He’ll have a very informed conversation with you about what you’re looking for. And even make some good suggestions on making sure things fit you properly.
He’s GREAT with sweaters. He took a couple sweaters I had lying around, but had stopped wearing due to ill fit and slimmed them up perfectly. I absolutely LOVE the work he does. They fit me so well, now.
I also had him do two pairs of jeans, some chinos, and a hoodie. Everything comes back pristine. He’s very reasonably priced — comparable to other tailors in the area. And he delivers his goods ON TIME. Which was a problem I had with going to The Tailor Shop (also downtown on Lasalle) and why I started looking elsewhere to be eventually led to Paul Chang.
I’m already planning on taking him more pieces (a khaki blazer and a few shirts), soon.

Worst tailor ever!!! I sent two of my Givenchy sweatshirts to them because they were really over sized… They messed up!!! And they charged 140 for this simple shit!!! Im super pissed off… They screwed 1600 dollars of clothes!!! I would give zero star if I could!!! Never go there!

Paul and his team are great.
I can’t afford a custom made suit from him or most of the other guys out there.
But what I can afford is his alteration services.
I’m always amazed how quickly he knows what I want with very little explanation. And I’m always happy to see how he can transform one of my cheap, baggy shirts, into a form fitting thing of beauty.

WOW, what can I say. Mr. Chang is as good as it gets. I needed a new suit jacket altered for a large event I was attending and Mr. Chang was there to help. Typically his turn around times are 5 – 10 days but I paid a little extra and he did it in two days. He literally took the jacket complete apart, had me come in for a final fitting, and rebuilt it… I was blown away. I’ve never had a store bought suit jacket fit me so perfectly.
100% highly recommend Mr. Chang.

So to put my review into perspective, one of the things I am known for is buying expensive items that are on sale, in the wrong size, and having them altered. So over the years throughout different cities, the tailor world is not new to me. Since I moved to Chicago, I’ve used Paul Chang and have been very pleased. No, he is not just a custom-​suit tailor ladies! He has already altered two very difficult dresses for me (one was a Milly dress that had a sheath on top of a fitted form) and the second was a beaded dress from Neiman’s which I had taken in on the sides right in the middle of the pattern. I also had a custom shirt where he added in some darts to make it slightly more fitted, and various jackets that I’ve had sleeves shortened and pants hemmed.
Honestly, Paul Chang’s work is top-​notch. I would also like to mention that for the beaded dress I needed it done in a very short timeframe for my sister’s wedding and he went the extra mile to do this in a rush timeframe… and sewing everyone one of those beads took quite bit of time.

Reasonable pricing on tapering shirts. End product came out exactly as I had hoped. Good quality work

I just had my measurements taken and made my initial selections for a suit and shirts and could not be happier with the experience
Paul and his staff are seasoned professionals
His shop is a no nonsense scene with lots of bolts of fabric, some sample jackets and shirt collars, a dressing room, a table, a desk and a small workshop
I felt the guidance Paul provided in selecting fabrics (both for the suit and shirts and for the suit lining), points made about lapel and pocket details are quite value added
He is very clear on how his process works (2 fittings thank you)
Even with this level of custom work, he is able to offer reasonable turnaround timing
I let him know I have a wedding to attend at the end of the summer and he assured me that he could meet the required time frame
I am looking forward to the results

Im very particular about how my clothes fit me, from suits, to shirts, to jeans, even sweaters (which wool is very hard to alter)…Anyways Paul is the man, you don’t visit a tailor for a cheap price, you choose a tailor based on value (price to quality). Paul does the best work and I have visited two tailors that charge more than Paul. Ill admit some of his fittings are non traditional but ALL of my clothing always turns out better than I imagined. Paul is the man, and he’s hilarious!

I love taking my new suits that I get on sale at Macy’s and having Paul Chang customize them. Everyone who gets dressed should have a tailor like Paul Chang!

My husband had a three piece blue pinstripe suit made here for our wedding. It’s his favorite suit now. It fits perfectly. Paul did a wonderful job. My husband will be back to have more suits made!

Paul Chang runs an exceptionally good tailoring operation that’s conveniently located right off the Clark and Lake CTA stop. I’ve been going to Paul’s shop for a few years now and the quality of his alterations have always been impeccable. In addition to doing great work in a relatively fast time frame, he’s also just a cool guy that’s interesting to talk to. He knows a ton about clothing, suits, etc. and the way to alter things to make them look their best. I can’t recommend Paul Chang Custom Tailors enough.

They did a decent job on two suits. They only measure one leg when hemming pants — which doesn’t account for how you stand or if one leg is slightly shorter than the other. I like a healthy break and didn’t get it after repeating it several times.
I had a third suit that they had trouble altering for me and after 2 attempts and them telling «it supposed to be that way» I left in frustration. Their attitude of indifference and trying to make me accept a poor fit has cost them a customer. I went there because of their reviews on Unilocal,but I won’t be back based on my experience.

I first came across Paul Changs Custom Tailor House in 2003 when he made me a suit for my wedding. It turned out beautifully, truly custom made. I have since bought another suit from him which was made with similar care and attention to detail.
Paul Chang is clearly the leading tailor in Chicago — having made clothing for many prominent Broadway shows in New York and Chicago as well as for most films made in the area (Home Alone, Road to Perdition etc.).
What more can I say, take a look for yourself — he’s world class.

found this place on Unilocal.I’m a petite, so I often have to have things tailored. They did a terrific job on a cocktail dress, on an unfairly (to them) short deadline. Actually, they had it done early. They even found another issue with the dress and fixed that too. No, they’re not the cheapest, but in my experience with tailoring, you get what you pay for.

I’ve been taking my clothes to this place for about 4 years now. I’ve been VERY pleased with their work. They even hand stitched the coins and made smaller an Egyptian costume I had that was unraveling. And I disagree with the Becca F reviewer, I found him to be quite reasonably priced. He only charged me $ 75 and the costume was just in pieces. I know it took a lot of hand work to put all those tiny coins (well over 100) back into the costume, along with changing its size.

Paul Chang is a world class tailor. He really does create suits for actors like Tom Hanks. He completely transformed a size 8 blazer into a size 0 blazer. People can’t even tell I had the blazer altered to fit my frame. He’s also hemmed perfectly a pair of pants with a very complicated cut. I highly recommend him to anyone who is willing to pay the money to ensure their garment is handled correctly.

Very good tailor.
I’ve taken three pieces to Paul. I had the pleats taken out of some pants, I had another pair of pants altered to snug it up around the hips and the seat, and I had him tighten up the waist of a suit jacket that was far too big. He did a great job with all of the work I gave him. The pants required extensive alterations, and he charged me for that, but I’m willing to pay for high quality alterations.
I highly recommend him, and have no idea what Pat M. is talking about with the «verbal assault.» There’s one guy who works there who isn’t exactly over-​flowing with friendliness, but it’s really hard to believe that he threatened someone with tailor’s shears. I wasn’t there, but that’s my two cents.

I went to Chang’s after being referred by a friend. I am proportionally challenged and the straps on most dresses are too long. I put it on so we could determine how much to take in the straps and Paul rightly pointed out I needed it shortened too. Just a few minutes later I was ready to go and out the door.
I picked it up a week later, and it fit well. The downside — he charged me $ 75 bucks for what I would consider a simple alteration. I recommend you discuss the cost before the fitting even begins.

This great custom tailor is in the building where I work, and they are a great find. I haven’t had anything specifically made, but I have used them for a number of alterations and everything has turned out beautifully! They were even able to re-​make one of my favorite pair of pants after I had dropped a few sizes (no, I wasn’t trying to be cheap — I just really like those stupid pants!). Everyone who works here is very nice, and I’ve even had them repair a ripped seam on a pair of pants while I’ve waited in the dressing room. The prices are a little higher than some other places I’ve been to, but the quality of their work is so much better that it’s well worth it.
