  The man is a genius. I gave him a tough job tailoring tweed bellbottoms that were way too big to my tiny lil self, and he basically remade the garment into a perfect fit, If you want the guarantee, European Master Tailor is it.

  Silvian is a master at his craft. If youre in need of some tailoring and appreciate the time he puts into quality work then I highly recommend his shop.

  I had some older, poorly tailored suits I just stopped wearing over the years, but Silvian made them look fitted and modern on very short notice. Such a nice, professional guy as well. I’ll be back.

  I was referred to Silvian by a friend after another local tailor dropped the ball on altering a suit for my wedding. I drove to Portland from Bend specifically to pick up this suit from the tailor and had to be back the same day. When I told Silvian my dilemma, he (unbelievably) told me to come in and he’d see what he could do. His space was clean and organized. He was able to tailor my pants and beautifully pressed them for me. I was able to leave Portland at the planned time with everything in hand. I will definitely come back here in the future and will tell friends in Portland to go there as well. Total life saver - above and beyond service

  Great experience with having two suites and a shirt altered by Silvian. He was pleasant and clearly knew exactly what he was doing when I dropped the garments off.I needed one in 4 weeks for a wedding (which he did not know when I showed up). He initially quoted me 5-6 weeks, I mentioned the wedding and he had the one I wanted to wear and the shirt all set ahead of schedule, and the work is top notch.Will be returning in the future and highly recommend to others.

  I honestly debated a long time on whether I would write this vs ask for a credit on my order but I decided if I could save someone else from spending the money on ordering a made to measure (MTM) suit through European Master Tailor, it would be a public service.I'll start by saying that Mr. Nita was generally a pleasant person to deal with. However I was incredibly disappointed by my experience with ordering a made to measure tuxedo from EMT. To be honest, it really calls into question some of these other reviews and the veracity of them. I now realize the only other negative review mirrors my own experience in terms of calling into question skill with tailoring. Also, I now notice there are no customer photos. Dubious for a tailoring shop. A lot of the review focus on alterations which is different than having a made to measure suit. It seems simple alterations are within the capability of this shop. However if you have a discerning eye for detail and are looking for a MTM suit, I strongly suggest exploring other options. My experience:Going through selecting fabrics and getting measured was straightforward enough. No issues there. Seem to be quality fabrics. We picked out styles and that was that. About 7 weeks later I was notified that my tuxedo was ready (I'll note that I had to email 2x to get a response.)Putting the tuxedo on for the first time was unfortunately extremely disappointing. Rather than talk through the issues I will list them and show picturesTuxedo JacketShoulder pads with significant gap (see shoulder pad and actual top of shoulder)Arm creasesBack creasesShoulder creasesWrong lengthCuffs that are not straight (note curces)Poor lining/construction of jacket that shows through fabrics (granted this may have been my fabric selection but I would imagine a tailor should have warned me or help guide me towards better fabric)PantsWrong lengthToo wide in lower legCrotch which is shaped such that it sticks out from the pant awkwardly (difficult to appreciate in photo but very awkward)Tuxedo shirtFar to big in arms leading to creases in jacket armToo wide in chestCollar that is too bigPoor construction with loose threadsIn reviewing the suit, I was upset. I have an athletic body type and knew off the rack would not work for me. Silvian's response to my critiques of the jacket was that "the suit is constructed well, look how it hangs. The problem is your shoulder shape." I was incensed. Why TF am I paying this much money for a tailor to tell me that my body type is incorrect? Isn't that the point of a MTM suit. I took some pictures (attached to this review) and went home to think.I emailed Mr. Nita to review my problems with the jacket and tuxedo. To his credit, his response was quick and said he would try to address the issues. Naturally, I asked when I should come in to do alterations. His response? "It's up to you, if you want me to work on I don't need you to come and try on." ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! I lost it at this point. How could you alter a garment without having the client wear it to see how it NEEDS to be altered.I ended up decided that it was clear Mr. Nita did not have an understanding of what it would take or how to fix this tuxedo. I ended up going to another tailor in NE Portland (who asked I not publish his name) but on analysis of my garment agreed that it was poorly constructed and that it was likely Mr. Nita was sending out the fabrics and measurements for someone else to construct.My moral of the story if you are looking for MTM, don't go here. Either go to Indochino to get something cheaper that is closer to being appropriate or spend the extra money to go to one of the established bespoke suit houses in Portland. I'm eating about $600 in alterations on a $1700 tuxedo (that essentially reconstructed by an outside tailor) to tell you this rather than ask for that amount to be credited on my tux.

  I dropped in needing alterations done for two pairs of jeans. Silvian was managing two other people's (more complicated and substantial) business - but took the time to ensure he understood the ask, and the alterations were made perfectly. Not only were they done perfectly, but I needed them quickly - and they were completed AHEAD of schedule.For as long as I am in Portland, this will be the tailor I go to.Service: Alterations

  I brought Silvian a wedding suit from a different tailor that had been absolutely butchered and was massive on me. Two weeks later, he performed a miracle and delivered a garment that fit immaculately! he genuinely saved my wedding and I can't wait to wear this suit. Will certainly be back for more alterations in the future!Service: Alterations

  Old school mastery is still alive. Silvia has been a tailor since he was 15. He is one of the only people keeping this trade alive. He has a beautiful selection of suits and shirts. I highly recommend buying your suit here and having it custom fitted.
