Al’s Custom Tailoring

This was my first time visiting a tailor and I’m so glad I found a good one on my first try. I brought in an expensive dress I ordered offline that needed to be taken in significantly. Al finished the job in one day and when I came to try it on I wasn’t sure if I he had actually taken it in or if I gained pounds in just a day lol Awesome job, the seams were done flawlessly. It’s perfect. The prices were very reasonable too. I highly recommend them! Support quality black owned businesses :)

I am super picky when it comes to my clothes and the proper fit. Al’s hits it out of the park every time. Not only do they provide great customer service, but they do a great job with my clothes. It does not matter if I need something shortened or a new lower neck line cut, they do a great job.

The WORST! Do not believe these reviews! I asked the owners to shorten my dress that had a fake leather skirt… he charged me $ 25 and the bottom of the dress is uneven and raggedy! I could have done a better job! Don’t believe these reviews!!! TRUST ME!

This review is long overdue. I moved to the area about 3-​years ago, and I was in need of a reliable tailor. After visiting several local tailors and having many mediocre experiences, my search came to an end when I walked into Al’s Custom Tailoring.
Over the last two years, I have gone to Al’s to have a couple of my pants (slacks, jeans, and khakis) hemmed, and to have some shirts custom fitted. Unlike many other tailors, Al’s does it in house (I’ve sat and watched him cut and sew one of my shirts, which only took 20 – 30 mins!) and they are exceptional at what they do.
Al’s pricings are great not just compared to other tailors, but for the quality of the tailoring. As mentioned before, they only accept cash. Besides the prices, Al and all of the other gentlemen who work there are great people! They are always smiling, watching soccer or discovery channel, and make me feel completely welcomed every time I walk in.
I love going to Al’s because I know my clothes are in good hands. I’m grateful to find such a gem, because everyone needs to have an excellent and skilled tailor, and for me, that person is Al!

Great work on alterations!
I’m very particular about how my clothes are altered after having a brand new pair of $ 100 jeans ruined a few years ago at a different establishment. The customer service was pleasant and after me telling him my horror story and begging him to please do a good job, I must say that I wasn’t dissappointed. The prices were reasonable and not over the top. I will definatley come back and have already recommended them to a friend.

This place is great! The craftsmanship is good and they will even do alterations while you wait. It’s reasonably priced too. These gentlemen specialize in Traditional African attire, but are quite capable of crafting or altering regular business attire as well.
A cultural note: be sure to be clear about where you want your pants to fall because their vision and your vision of proper fit and length may be quite different. I like a medium break and their vision is probably more of a long break; so, I had to communicate that what they thought was fine and elegant, was just not for me. This is nothing good-​olé fashion communication can’t fix.
This place is cash only; so, come prepared.
