Lee Tailoring

Lee is the man! We’ve used him for just about everything. We’ve had minor adjustments to a pair of pants to re-​sizing an entire suit. He is always professional and when he says he will have it ready by a certain date, it’s ready and it’s done right. Sure, you can probably save a few bucks by going to a dry cleaners but that doesn’t mean they will do it right. We’ve used Lee for about 5 years for about 20 different items and we have never had one single issue.

Lee is the nicest man to do business with! I have been going to him my entire life and wouldn’t trust anyone else in the I.E. with my alterations.

A job well done. Quick consultation. Very efficient.

I regularly take pants to be hemmed here (Ahhh the joys of being short) & they’ve consistently done a good job over the years.
The shop is clean w/​private dressing rooms & the tailors are quick & efficient. I can get in, put on my garment for them to measure/​mark, & get out in well under 10 minutes. The items are normally ready within two days & the alterations are well priced.
I will second what Oliver R. Said — which is that the tailors favor a more traditional look but they will ultimately deliver what ever a customer asks for, all be it w/​a bit of a strange look on their faces. Personally I’ll continue to come here as I really like their work.

This great place to come does a great job and is prompt. Very funny guy and great service

These two tailors are amazing. My husband and I have done an overhaul of both our closets when we both lost over 15 pounds! From suits, to gowns, to pants, skirts and dress shirts, all items were professionally tailored. We continue to take new items back. Better than buying a whole new wardrobe!

Polite, clean, efficient, fair price. In and out in 5 minutes, ready for pick up 48 hours.

He deserves no stars. Horrible attitude like he doesn’t need to be in business anymore.
I thought it was an act at first, and I’ve done many transactions and negotiations before. I said «surely he’s joking» to myself, and was rude like I was bothering him when I was asking about suit quality. He appeared to not know anything about the merchandise he was selling.
Now, I can understand if he gave an air about being the best to the point of arrogance– I get that. You know, one of those «if you have to ask then you can’t afford it» attitudes or «my work speaks for itself» type mentalities. Heck I even wanted to get a custom suit but he wouldn’t speak on details, a tell-​tale sign he sends his stuff out.
After he torched that order with his attitude, I simply asked him to take measurement. He reluctantly growled $ 10… $ 10!!! Really??? Even the best tailors I’ve worked with over the years only charge $ 5. I felt sorry and compassion for him at that time, and paid him. He missed a few key measurements (thigh and wrist measurements), and I just paid him and left.
On top of that, went home to remeasure myself and some of his measurements were way off (yes, I can do it myself but I usually defer to «experts.»
What a waste of my time. Will not repeat and will scream this one from the mountaintops… STAY AWAY.

Despite some of the negative reviews I’ve read on here, I can only say that my experiences have been positive. I’ve only had him shorten the length on pants, but I’ve tried them on in the store and he pinned them perfectly every time. About $ 8 per pair. He matched the stitching on my jeans perfectly each time as well, so I’ve had no problems. I’ve probably been coming here since around 1999 or so and have had no problems.

I guess I’m the only one who has had positive experiences here. First off, you are free to ask for prices before any work is done. If you don’t like the price you can always so somewhere else.
Anyways, I’ve been coming here for maybe 10 years. The tailor is a nice enough guy. You walk in, he motions to the fitting room, you put on the clothing, stand in front of the mirror, and he goes to work.
He has done suits, scrubs, shirts, etc, etc for me. The only caveat here is how he fits clothing. He favors an older school look, like fits from the 90’s, not the highly fitted look of today. His eye favors longer jacket lengths and he is not a fan of the high-​water pant hem. That being said, he will do whatever you want. He takes in my suit jackets when he says I don’t need it and even hemmed some suit pants to fit a pair of high top Blazers for a wedding.
In the rare event that the clothing was not altered to my liking, I just brought it backed and had it realtered for free. Understand that if you go too small/​short and do not like it, there is not much you can do to have it fixed.

I actually love Mr Lee’s service. I came here once on my friend recommendation getting my prom dress to fit. He pinned the dress on me and asked my opinion making sure I feel comfortable in it. I’ve been to many different tailoring store trying to get my favorite cloth to fit right and certainly only lee’s tailoring did a great job at it. The price is pretty cheap compared to other places. The dress turned out really great and I loved his suggestions on my dress and after my first visit I come back often and get my cloth done. I recommend it!

Had a pair of ski pants altered (hem taken up). They cut off the inside gator along with the outside of the pants (on only one leg). When I showed it to Lee he denied that they did that. I asked for the left over pieces and he provide the outside portion of the pants he cut off. It’s funny how the pieces matched exactly to the cuttings made to the inside gator. He claimed it was a manufacturing defect. He offered to fix the pants for a minor charge, then after much arguing, he offered to fix them for free. The materials he offered to fix them with did not even match and the elastic material he wanted to use looked like old underwear material. I ended up sending them back to the manufacturer (North Face) and they did an excellent job. I definitely would not recommend this place to anybody. They also did some alterations on a coat and screwed that up also. They left one sleeve longer than the other. Lousy workmanship! Lee’s attitude of «I’m right and I would never make a mistake» leaves a lot to be desired. And last but not least, he smokes while he works! Not only does it smell bad… what if he drops a lit ash on your expensive clothing??? Think twice about it!

This place is a rip off. I had the same experience as Xandy. I went to get three of my girlfriend’s dresses shortened and it cost me $ 60. $ 20 for each dress. The alterations weren’t even that much, roughly 1 inch off each dress. To top it off, each dress cost less than $ 20 each. I agree, Mr. Lee is not that nice and the hem job could have been better.

I come here often to get clothes such as pants and dresses tailored. Getting jean’s hemmed over here is pretty in expensive, it’s less then 5 $, not bad of a deal. I bought a dress at a thrift store for 4 $ and i came here to get it altered. I paid 20 $ just to hem the dress shorter. Now i thought that was pretty ridiculously priced. Ever since then i stopped coming here because one, Mr. Lee is not that nice and two my mom could do a better job hemming and altering my clothes.

um… no. i’d purchased a dress at buffalo exchange for $ 18 but it needed to be taken in a whole dress size. so i took it to Lee’s Tailoring because it was the only place i could find (should have asked around).
he pinned the dress on me, correctly, so when i came back, i just picked it up without trying it on. i was in a hurry. this was my first mistake.
well when i got it home and tried it on… it was literally TWO SIZES too small!!! and i noticed that the excess fabric has been cut. so there’s no easy way to let it back out. sigh.
so i will be headed back this weekend to see if they’ll figure out a way to fix it. for free. i’ll keep you posted.
