Mr Young’s Custom Tailoring

I have been getting my suits made at Mr. Young’s for over 30 years. I started going there when both of us had black hair. Now both of us have white hair. His suits are incredible. I always get great compliments when i wear one of his suits. His work is impeccable. His service is top-​notch.

Yes this is a very good tailor.
I had five suits made here. I had brought my own tweed from Scotland and Mr Young made them all into three piece suits. They are beautiful pieces of world class tailoring.
The craftsmanship is on par with what you might pay for in London at about 30% of the price. A very good deal.

Good service.

I was searching for a yea for a good Chalk Stripe Suit. I couldn’t find one, so I ordered the raw wool from England and took it to Mr. Hur’s shop in Koreatown. I didn’t know it at the time, but they were in the process of moving to another location due to the somewhat difficult parking at his original establishment. I’ve had suits created from scratch before, but never with the detail and quantity of measurements that Mr. Hur presented. After two weeks (rescheduled the first fitting), I ventured in make necessary changes before finalization. At first, the suit jacket was a tad big, but that was due to my request not to have it made too tight. When I picked up the suit, it fit better than a lot of my other «custom» suits. I requested a full canvas jacket with a lower button stance. He charges $ 50 for working button holes, but I feel that if your going custom, might as well show it off. Be specific about what you want – I wear my pants lower which he was definitely able to accommodate. The new location is in the same plaza as Palm Tree and S Bar. Get a suit and grab a drink!

All in all… Mr Young, Mrs Young, and their son are all very nice, wonderful people… and they do professional work. I’m sure if you need a custom made suit this is the place to go… however, I will probably never go back for an alteration because of price and my experience. I imagine my experience is not common, but it will be enough to keep me from going back…
I had two very nice Italian Brioni jackets that I needed altered. I went in to Mr Youngs knowing that they would probably be a little more pricey than the average cleaners that would do alterations, but I wanted them to be done right, so I was willing to pay more for good work.
I took them in on August 18^th, they took measurements, they said I could pick them up in two weeks. I thought that was a long time for an alteration, but no problem.
A little over two weeks later… I called… they still were not ready… some excuse about a holiday. They will be ready next thursday…
Next Thursday I call… they still are not ready… they say come back next tuesday…
Next Tuesday I come in the store… they are happy to see me and happy to give me my jackets back… except the jackets dont fit… and some seems are still not sewn… wow… they say sorry… come back on Thursday…
I come back Thursday September 20^th (1 month and 4 attempts later) and they are finally done and fit great… They gave me a 20 percent discount for the troubles ($ 80 each jacket rather than $ 100… so i end up paying what I would have at Crown Cleaners).
My experience at Crown Cleaners the week before… 10:00 AM: took in a pair of pants, got measured, went to starbucks, came back at 1:00 PM, picked them up. DONE!

Mr. Young made me a three-​piece grey suit with blue pinstripes for my wedding. It was sensational. I wear it on every occasion. It always makes me look good. He’s a little pricey and the location is annoying to get to, but he pays for parking and, well, you get what you pay for. Super high quality.

Mr. Young’s Custom Tailoring is the place for men who want tailor made suits and formal attire.
A place that’s good enough for former LA mayor Tom Bradley and survivor host Jeff Probst is good enough for me.
I was referred to this shop over 10 years ago and I’ve had a few suits made ever since. In all that time never once have I been disappointed.
They have an amazing selection of fabrics from super 100 wool to silk. If you know what you’re looking for in terms of fabric and pattern Mr. Young or his staff will find it for you.
Mr. Young personally attends to you, takes your measurements and provides good advice. He asks you for styling ques of your suit, so if you know what you like feel free to have it made exactly the way you want. One caveat, Mr Young’s is a traditional shop if you ask him to do something too outlandish I’m not sure he would agree.
When you walk out the door and everyone at Mr. Young’s is determined to make you look good.
Overall, a friendly shop, with a good selection of fabric for the discriminating gentlemen.

My parents-in-law’s gave me a custom-​tailored suit as one of their wedding presents to their new son-​in-​law. Mr. Young was recommended to them as the best in the business. His shop in Koreatown is adorned with photos of celebrity clients, I think I recall Tom Bradley and Rod Stewart among others. These guys know their suits apparently.
Mr. Young is a trim, perfectly dressed, silver-​haired gentleman. I swear he looks like he gets a haircut every other day. Like all great craftsmen, he seems to have definite opinions about how a suit should look, i.e., two versus three buttons (two), one versus two splits in the back (two), tight-​fit versus traditional (traditional). So if you’re looking for a snazzy, tight-​fitting, three button suit with a single split in the back, you may want to go elsewhere. That look is so 2008! :)
So I tell Mr. Young, «You seen Roger Federer in that new Rolex commercial, right? I want to look like that, a little less shiny though». My in-​laws picked out a beautiful fabric, and Mr. Young did the rest. Ten days later, the suit was ready. It was AMAZING how well it fit. There wasn’t an extraneous line or a fold on this thing. The shoulders fit perfectly and there was a slight but comfortable break in the pants leg. As soon as I put this thing on, it made me want to spin around and check out how it looks from different angles. By far the nicest piece of clothing I own. I could wear flip flops with this suit, and it would still look sharp.
Thank you again Umma and Apa, and thanks Mr. Young!
