I took 2 jackets and 1 dress pants for alteration. The lady took my measurements and said it would be $310 and full payment would be required in advance and it would take 7 days to finish the job. I agreed and when I went back to pick my clothes, I tried them. One of my jacket was still a little bit bigger. I asked her if she could fix it. She said I would have to pay again. All that over-inflated charges and yet an unsatisfactory job. I will be looking for another tailor in the future.

This is an old school tailor. He was very upfront and frank regarding my request, which I can respect. I walked in with 3 weeks to make a suit for a wedding. I am a LARGE guy but this gentleman pulled it off. He even made special suspenders for me, ensuring the suit looked perfect for me. He work really hard to make it work and he delivered on time. It was not cheap, but I appreciate him going above and beyond! Thanks to his long time assistant Susie as well. Great team!

I recently went to Susanna at Escobar Tailors and she was so kind, so helpful and did an outstanding job hemming my sleeves for my wedding blazer! Thank you so much Susanna! I'm so happy with your work! I've had a suit adjusted here before and they did a fantastic job with that as well! Escobar Tailors is my go to tailor for the East Bay, they are truly fantastic!

Señor Escobar is the best in town. On my first visit, he greeted me warmly and chatted with me for a bit. After doing some quick measurements, he showed me 4-5 excellent options. I am picky with clothing fit so I narrowed it down to 1 option but still not perfect. He was patient with me and took time to think about how to tailor the jacket and pants. After a few alterations, the whole set fit beautifully. Señor even gave me a nice fabric cover free of charge.Worth every $ spent. Exceptional quality formalwear. Nicest people in the business. Would highly recommend to family and friends. You won't regret visiting Escobar Tailors. Truly a gem in the East Bay.Se habla español. Los sastres tienen un montón de experiencia.

Price: $$-$$$ - Cheaper suits may go for 300-400. Mine was 600 (Ralph Lauren). Alterations are in the 50-100 range for pants and 100-150 range for jackets. 100% worth it. Quality: 9/10 - His collection is of exceptional quality. The only caveat: this is a small shop with less variety than you'll find at bigger retailers. Service: 10/10 - Would highly recommend to family and friends. Staff: 10/10 - Some of the nicest people out there. Family-owned small business. Turnaround: 8/10 - You may need 2-4 weeks to get a perfect fit. Plan in advance! He may be willing to accommodate urgent needs. Se habla español. Los sastres tienen un montón de experiencia.

I needed to get a dress altered within a short period, so I was so happy to find this shop willing to do it. I had to pay $120, but I needed the dress done. I went to pick the dress up after a really busy day, and totally spaced the garment ticket at home on my fridge. A older guy started yelling at me, "Well, how am I supposed to find your garment if you don't have your ticket?!" He yelled at me some more about how he wasn't going to be able to find it. I then said, "Look, I'm sorry - but I don't have time to go back." (The event was in an hour). Then he yelled at me again saying he wasn't gonna find it. I asked, "Wait, what? You want me to drive home, get the ticket and come back?" And he yelled back, "YES!" At this point, I said "Sir, I'm sorry I forgot the ticket, but you can't keep yelling at me like this. That's not cool." The guy then asked me what my garment was and I told him it was a blue gown. He said "It's on the wall", and walked away to help another customer. The lady who actually fitted me was there and she gave me my dress. I'm 5'2 so I was really excited to find a nice tailor. But after this experience, I'm never going back. I understand that the ticket would have helped. But there were solutions to this problem. I could have called my husband who was home to take a pic of the ticket or tell me the number. But I got yelled at like a little kid instead. Definitely going somewhere else.

I was in need of last minute alterations for a bridesmaid dress due to a last minute change in shoes (lol) and they were able to have them done on time at a reasonable cost. Will definitely come back when needed.

My boyfriend came here to get his suit altered and we had the best experience! We came in kind of stressed because he needed his suit in two weeks which is a pretty tight turnaround. The man helping us reassured us that he would have it done. We paid $180 for an expedited service which included alterations to the butt area, crotch area, a length hem and a sleeve hem on the jacket. We came in exactly 2 weeks later and everything was ready and looked amazing! Great service, attention to detail, and the guy who I believe might have been the owner had dad jokes to spare some of which were very funny :) Also, great selection of suits available for purchase

This guy is a crook simply put. Stay away otherwise he will charge you for walking in his store. Not joking the fee is $25! I've never experienced such a horrible salesman before. He was forcing a pregnant lady to pay for asking a question and explained that he needed to pay rent. The owner is like a used car salesman and all the clothes for sale were old and dusty from decades ago.

We walked in just to ask if this guy could tailor an existing suit. We were charged $25 for a "consultation." We got swindled but he ran the card and said we have rent and electricity to pay. Times are hard apparently so stay away if possible. It also smelled like fart in the store which didn't add to the experience.
