Pulido’s Tailor

Oscar is very good, and reasonably priced. A little different: he wants payment in advance, cash only. A minor downside: he replaced one double belt loop with a single loop — not a terrible omission given the good price, but not perfect either. Still, I will use him again.

The service here is awesome! It was also very affordable. I came in to get my bridesmaid dress hemmed pretty last minute due to a variety of factors. They got my dress in and it was ready when they said it would be. These are some really wonderful people! But the lovely lady helped me into the dress when I tried it on… totally going above and beyond with the zipper. :) I will definitely be coming back for any tailoring needs!!! Strongly recommend! Great prices, Great service!

Oscar did a fantastic job on one pair of slacks and one pair of jeans. I had both pairs of pants taken in by an inch (hehe, lucky it was not the opposite problem) and Oscar did a solid job on both. The stitching looked like the manufactur’s stitching and held very strong.
Price wise, Oscar charges a fair price. I have seen cheaper but don’t mind the price for a good tailor. Oscar was also very friendly. Be sure to let him know of any concerns you may have of how the articles of clothing will look on you after the work is done, and he will answer.
Pros:
— Good job at the alterations
— Oscar is very friendly
Potential Improvements
— The timing could use improvement. I was told to return in a week, but work had not begun on my pants when I arrived at noon on pickup day. I did not mind but I know that some folks may be annoyed.

The woman who works here was rude to me as soon as I walked in, but the man was really nice, greeted me, made me feel welcome, remembered my name and everything! If it wasn’t for him, I probably would not have returned. They did a great job with my pants though: $ 45 for hemming up from the bottom 3 pairs of work pants.

I had a fire at my home some time ago so once getting my stuff replaced it was off to Pulido’s for my alterations. The man does great work and always greets me with a smile. I feel that he is the best asset to my wardrobe. I am currently living in San Mateo but I still come to his shop becuase I know he is skilled craftsman.

I think I found my regular tailor for both me and my husband!
I initially called in just to get my measurements for a custom-​made bridesmaid dress. I explained to Oscar, the owner, that I am 5 months pregnant but at the wedding I will be 2 months postpartum. He took my measurements quickly and even added some measurements to help the seamstress make sure the dress fit right on me for a minimal $ 10 fee. Even though I will not be at the measurements given after I give birth, I expected to have my dress tailored and know Oscar could get the job done! My husband and I spoke with him and his wife for a little bit and they’ve been doing this for many years and am so happy to know he loves what he does. Any man/​woman who loves what he does takes pride in his work!
If you come here, know you are in good hands! (And so are your clothes!)

Oscar did a great job on my 2 slacks and suit jacket. Took in my slacks since both were very baggy and a couple inches too long. Took in my jacket so it fits my body a lot nicer. He’s super friendly, is quick with his work, and gets the alterations done in the time he says. I dropped it off on a Friday, since that’s my weekly day off to run errands and picked it up the following Friday. They take CASH ONLY, so it’s a good thing there are banks and credit unions in the plaza.
I paid $ 86 for this work and I’m planning on taking my other suits here and would definitely recommend Pulido’s to my friends.

Oscar who I believe runs the shop is a straight up craftsman when it comes to tailoring.
I had about 15 pairs of jeans that were way to big for me from my past life when I was really overweight and not wore baggy clothing. Oscar was able to modify my jeans, which mind you, we’re in great and almost new condition. He made them to my size where he made them narrower. I was very impressed web his skills.
He’s my go to guy whenever I need anything tailored specifically to my needs. Give this guy a try and you’ll see he will not disappoint you

If you just have a basic tailoring/​repair job, probably anyone who can sew can do a creditable job and for less money. But if you have a tricky job, the difference between a really good tailor and an ordinary one is night and day and it is worth the cost. I lost a lot of weight over the last year (2 dress sizes) but had a lot of clothes that were practically new and I didn’t necessarily want to discard even though they no longer fit. Over the course of several months, I brought in several dresses and several pairs of pants to be altered, all of which had to be taken in many inches. It was a tricky job because of the tailoring of the clothes and the amount of the alteration. Oscar got the fit right the first time on every piece but one dress, which required a second fitting. In every case, I am unreservedly pleased with the work that he did. In glancing through the other reviews, I noticed that someone suggested that Oscar was not a good tailor for slim fit clothing. This reviewer was a man and it is possible that this is true for menswear. But for the record, all of the work that he did for me was to alter the clothing to be (quite) form fitting and there were no reservations and that work was very well done. From my point of view, he was absolutely great and absolutely worth it.

Great place dose excellent work and in time. And very friendly. And

Warm welcome when entering the store. They are very friendly and polite. Customer service is excellent. Fast and efficient. Anything you need to get tailored? Go to Pulidos! Will be coming back for sure

What can I say? Oscar’s def the man! My fiancé received a nice suit as a gift, but it was just too big and shapeless on him. He has an athletic built and wanted a slim fit, while accentuating his broad chest/​shoulders. Oscar read his mind, measured him up, and worked his magic. The suit fit perfectly on the fiancé! Skill-​wise, Oscar and his team were of very high caliber! They were warm and friendly, able to accommodate us on such a short notice, and their pricing was reasonable. I will be coming back with any alteration needs, that’s for sure.

I’ve been here a handful of times and did not have a positive experience. Customer
Service is lacking, and they even have a Lulzy tip Jar. MAKE SURE to call before coming in because their store hours are FALSE. The owner and employees leave /​disappear on a whim, and your left to make the long trek back because there is no one in the store. It’s a shot in the dark every time. Their signs that specify «will be back in 15 mins is obviously bull$hit as well. This has happened four times all on a weekday afternoon.

Pulido’s did an excellent hem job my new Gustin jeans!
I recently received my made to order Gustin jeans which I had waited almost 2 months for after ordering from their website
Since these jeans are a little pricey and made of very heavy material (16.5 oz), i wanted to find a tailor that would do a good job and not wreck my premium denim. My brother recommend Palido’s and showed me the hem job that they did on his new APC jeans which looked like quality work.
The price for the hem was about $ 14 or $ 15 ea (Cant remember) and took less than a week to finish 2 jeans.
Also, they owner Oscar is very friendly and treated me like we’ve been friends for a long time.
I definitely recommend Palido’s tailor for hems and would trust him for any of my future tailor work.

This man does amazing alterations, we take everything to him ask him to do the impossible & he gets it done with excellence!!! His prices are great, affordable, fast & efficient. We recommend to all!

Oscar was an awesome tailor. My brothers and I came in here to get our suits tailored for our grandmothers funeral. He first said that they would be done by Thursday. But the funeral was on the Tuesday before that Thursday he was telling us. He said no problem guys. I’ll have it done by Monday. I’ll just rush your order. In such happiness he got it done. He had that genuinely great attitude. Thank you Oscar again. I will definitely spread the word on how great a tailor and business man you are. Oscar pulido is now my tailor «guy».

You know you’re going to a great tailor when the tailor himself is dressed perfectly. Oscar wears finely tailored clothes and his shoes are even polished up. This man cares about fashion! Imagine buying pastries from a skinny chef. just not the same huh? I kid. I kid.
Oscar remembers you and treats you well. Prices are spot on, and each dollar you hand over is money well spent, and money well earned. All of my pants and shirts have been perfectly tailored. I’ve spent hundreds here, don’t hesitate to do the same.
And go ahead, ask him what Pulido really means.

At first I was very impressed with oscar’s work on my dress. It was not an easy task because it was silk, and I wanted the hem shorted and the sides taken in. I was shocked at how pricey his charges were but I had trust that he would do a fine job based on the Unilocal reviews and his honestly when you show him a garmet, he’ll usually tell you if he is able to do the job or not.
This time I came back for my hems shortened on a skirt. I was apprehensive about this job because he was very nonchalant about the length measurement and didnt even hold the measuring tape again the skirt. Of course when I got it back, it was still too long and the front was longer than the back. As a tailor, you should understand that a garmet is usually loved enough to have it be altered. Thus, if the garmet did not come out to the customer’s expectations, then you should offer to redo it. This kind of service keeps us coming back. His nonchalant yet friendly front may cause customers not to come back. I had to call several times to explain to him that it was uneven for him not to charge me again. It shouldnt even have gotten to that point.
Overall, this will probably be my last time there because he charges way too much and takes too long to do that job. The garmet either comes out fabulous or all wrong. consistency is what makes a place trustworthy to return to.
If anyone has recommendations for better places, please message me pls!!!

The goods:
1. Close to my house and conveniently located with ample parking in the Westlake lot
2. Does an OK job for VERY basic alterations
The BAD:
1. He seems to be out of touch with the latest fashion. If you want your suit altered to be more slim fitting, don’t come here. He will either reject to do the job saying it looks good already, or if he accepts to do the job will do a very poor job at it. He’s old and wears baggy suit pants, what do you expect?
2. He’s VERY forgetful. I’ve brought several shirts for him to taper, in THREE separate occasions. Each time he had 1.5 weeks to complete the job, yet calls me on the last day telling me he needed more time. One occasion I brought him a well-​fitted shirt to serve as a template for the other shirts I wanted tapered, yet he forgot which was which and had to call me to remind him on the second to last day it was due (while I was on vacation also).
3. Prices are a bit on the high side.
4. Although Oscar and his wife seem like nice people, they give each other unfounded self-​praises. For example, when I would go in to pick up my shirt and test fit it, his wife would yell out «WOW, look at that shirt. Oscar’s the best tailor there is!» (which is far from the truth). It’s sweet and nice of her to say that in front of him, but i feel she does that to drive up business and psychologically steer customers away from asking for a re-​do.
With all that said, I most like won’t be coming back here again. I’ve already spent close to $ 300 at his shop.

Ooh you burned me twice Pulido’s and that’s one time too many!
Brought in two pairs of slacks and some pricy jeggings to get altered and guess what, the pick-​up date I was quoted was 1.5 weeks! WHAT?! 1 week is acceptable but close to 2 weeks was ridiculous. Oscar said it was because his normal assistant was on vacation. Really? You mean your wife and your mom/​mother-​in-​law? I really needed at least one pair of slacks so we compromised to have the slacks done by an earlier date and left the jeggings for the 1.5 week date.
When I got the slacks back, the lengths of the pant legs on one pair did not match up — one side was longer than the other by at least 1 inch. In addition, the hemming on both pairs was horrible — the tension of the threads was pulled so tightly, you could see the stitching from the exterior of the pants. These are SLACKS, not jeans!
When I brought the slacks back, I tried to explain and show Oscar’s wife the problem. She got super defensive and cut me off. She grabbed my slacks and folded them to show me that they were indeed equal in length. Um, excuse me lady. I TRIED them on at home. One heel of the shoe shows while the other one doesn’t so I think I KNOW what I’m talking about. She angrily told me to try them on for her and walked off in a huff as Oscar came to the rescue. Psh beezy.
The moment Oscar saw my pants, he immediately said, «Oh yeah! I can totally see it, you are right!» and quickly remeasured it.
A COUPLE DAYS LATER:
I went to pick up both my slacks and the jeggings and decided that I had HAD it with Pulido’s and that I was never going back. They must think their customers are idiots who don’t know anything about tailoring, or at least maybe me because I look young?
Instead of recutting the longer pant leg and rehemming it to match the other leg, all they did was move the pant leg higher! So while the lengths matched up now, the hem width did not. Wouldn’t matter so much if they had actually used the right tension so you couldn’t see it but you could totally tell one side was like 2 inches and the other was 1. WTF. Also my jeggings turned out the same — one side was 1 inch longer than the other leg. WTF X 2.
I don’t think the problem is Oscar, because I’ve gotten plenty of beautifully hemmed items back before. I am pretty sure it’s either his wife or the older lady that does a lot of the hemming for him. It just sucks his «assistants» aren’t up to par with his handiwork. I had to bring both my pants to my other usual place and they did a great job fixing it for a cheaper price and fast pick-​up date.
Sorry Oscar, just can’t be your customer anymore…
