Oxford Way Tailoring

Randy really cares about classic tailoring, the right fit and finding styles that will work for business, celebration and day to day wear. Bought a suit at Oxford 6 years ago and it still wears well and people think it is a Brioni or classic Italian suit. Randy’s prices are less than you would get online. He has tailored dozens of things for me over the years and provided blazers and jackets for my teenage son for dances and events. You will be glad you stopped in. This is the kind of men’s shop that keeps you looking sharp and the price is right.

«Suit Doctor!» Ok funny story… I was in between interviews. Got in my car and split my pants down the middle. Stressed out I go to Unilocal.Found this Amazing man and business. Saved my life. Fixed my pants and I’m back on the road thanks again

Excellent service. I came here to get a suit tailored that I bought online. Good tailoring and good service. I felt like family even though it was only my first time. They have a good selection of shirts and ties for purchase as well.

Amazing customer service! True to the reviews on Unilocal Randy is an excellent businessman. I came in and tried on all three pairs of pants I wanted altered and he helped me make different changes to each one and gave me honest opinions to all of my nuanced questions. Hemmed all three to a perfect length and took the waist in on one of them to fit me perfectly. I had been putting off taking my pants to get tailored because I was worried but now I will come back in a heartbeat.
Had some great conversations with Randy about business and fashion/​clothing in general the time I came in and when I came to pick up my pants. There are quite a few tailoring/​alteration locations in the general area but I checked out the top two on Unilocal and they treated me rather rudely and dismissed my questions so I worked my way to Oxford Way Tailoring via phone and was left in great hands. I have already recommended Oxford Way to my friends and I will definitely be returning soon.

Randy is great. He’s very personable. I’ve mostly used Oxford Way for alterations. Their work has always been of excellent quality and affordable. Highly recommended.

Hey North Oaklanders, we don’t have many tailors left in our ‘hood, but fortunately we have Robert at Oxford Way. I had an emergency, needing to get a new pair of pants hemmed in a hurry when I got sent the wrong length pant and I was leaving on vacation the next day. But Robert took care of me and had the pants hemmed in 2 hours! Wow – service with a smile! I don’t write many reviews but I was amazed I was able to get tailoring done in a day. Robert deserves our business!

Randy is a true professional! I brought a blazer in for alterations that was a bit tricky — sweater material, problematic button & lining placement. But, he examined the garment — planned his strategy — and executed it to perfection. It looks amazing. I found Randy via Unilocal (he’s located in an inconspicuous part of Telegraph Ave — I would have never noticed his shop) so adding a review to bolster his visibility. Thanks, Randy!

I’ll admit it. There was a petty little voice in my head that questioned my writing a review because it could contribute to more customers and possibly higher prices for me down the road. Then I realized that Randy deserves the recognition and other Unilocalers deserve to know about an amazing gem of a business he runs.
Randy is such a competent and reasonably priced tailor that I’ve already brought two costume suits I previously would have never bought because I knew that he would fix them up at an unbelievably reasonable price. I’ve also brought plenty of jeans and pants to alter and have left completely satisfied with his work.
Aside from this, Randy is also a kind, soft-​spoken, and honest guy with an obviously good heart. He helps restore my faith in humanity one alteration at a time.

The best!
I took in a couple pair of pants for alteration. They were ready on time and the price was right. There was a small problem when I went to pick them up and Randy said he’d have them ready that afternoon. I declined and said I’d wait a day. They were ready and just right. Randy is quite charming and the ultimate professional The location is great and I had no trouble parking in front of the shop. I’ll definitely be taking all my tailoring to Oxford Way. You should too. His motto should be At your service, day or night, we do the job and do it right. (bonus points if you can identify the source of the quote, sans Google)

We came in to see if we could get an old suit altered for my boyfriend but randy was very honest & let us know because of the style of the suit it wouldnt turn out the way my boyfriend wanted. Instead we bought a very nice suit from him that was very reasonably priced & he hemmed the pants for him. Randy is great! We will definately be back!

Funny how they are not open on Sunday’s but my STOLEN credit card had THREE charges from Oxford Way Tailoring on a SUNDAY!!! Randy refused to help and seemed completely unalarmed that this had occurred in his store. What local businessman isn’t interested in curbing criminal activity, ESPECIALLY when it occurred in HIS store?

Excellent custom suit by a great tailor! I received a swath of fine Italian mohair suit fabric as a gift a year ago and was honored to have Randy and his team design and build an amazing suit to my taste. He worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was right and it turned out excellently. Fit was key for me as I wanted a modern suit that looked trim and slim-​fitting and Randy did exactly that. I wore the suit at my wedding last month and enjoyed compliments and comfort. Success!
High Quality

Small business with family around
Flexible hours for fittings
Great price
I looked at all of the options for a completely custom suit from my own (quality) fabric in the bay area and didn’t like the other options. Everyone else was either out of my price range or would have the suit farmed out to Asia. Not Randy, he used his hands and his associates in town to make sure everything was done right.
If you’re thinking of getting a custom suit by Randy then I suggest you leave adequate time for it’s proper construction. Follow up with Randy to track progress. Plan on having numerous fittings as the pieces come together. The result will be a fantastic suit at a very reasonable price.
I will always have fond memories of my visits to Oxford Way. The gospel music playing distantly in the background. Randy’s genuine dedication to the people and the clothes in his shop and his life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I haven’t had a suit in about 20 years, but Oxford Way Tailoring really hooked me up. From picking the right color, size, tie and shirt. It was a great experience. I can’t wait to put it on to take my Aunt out for Dinner!

Fantastic operation run by an old-​school professional and craftsman. Strongly recommended.
I’ve so far had Reverend Randy update some of my favorite suits and dress shirts, tailoring them all to much more of a modern, fitted look. Sure the heck beats buying new clothes.
They were all done well at a reasonable price, and now I’m inspired to be better dressed more often. OK, at least during evening hours.

Randy is phenomenal. I bought a new suit one day before my interview. I called him up and told him my situation. He said he could do express for me and have it within an hour. I can’t even tell you how nice this guy was. He really knows his tailoring too since he has spent his life doing this.
My friend had an interview a couple weeks after me and he bought a suit too. I recommended my friend here and he also had very positive things to say about Randy.
The pricing is great too. Assuming you buy the right size suit (not too small), Randy will tailor it to make you look your best. 5 stars, hands down!!!

This place is great. Randy tailored three jackets for me to perfection. And he is very reasonably priced. I’ll be back!
Thanks Randy.

Randy is a sweetheart and likely a skilled tailor which is a shame because he really disappointed me last week when I picked up my slacks from his shop.
I brought in two pairs of slacks for work, both of which needed the waste taken in. The length on both pairs needed to be adjusted as well. Unfortunately he took the waste out on both pairs! He also took the length out on one pair when it need to be taken in. We looked at the bill where he wrote instructions for himself and it seemed like he just hadn’t paid attention to them. He had me wait while he fixed the length and told me he could adjust the waists of the pants if I left the clothes with him over night. And yes, he insisted on charging me for the work he did incorrectly.
Of course I took my business to a different tailor who told me the measurements Randy had done were incorrect anyway. I plan to return to randy this week to ask for my $ 40 back. It’s a shame because I really liked this guy and have a lot of business to give him.

Like many other reviewers had stated — Randy is great. He introduced himself and his son, Michael, and apologized for the renovation mess. It was my first time here today and needed to get a skirt hemmed in time for my birthday for the weekend (3 days away). I was afraid I was going to get turned away, but he told me he would get it done in time. I paid $ 20. He is honest, talented, and hardworking. Can’t complain.
Always nice to find a hole in the wall business. Support local!

Went in there today to drop off some dress pants to get hemmed. $ 8. Ended up looking at the suits he has for sale. I haven’t owned a suit in a really long time because it’s near impossible for me to find clothes that fit– I’m pretty short, with a really broad back/​chest/​shoulders. I ended up picking out a really cheap but nice looking suit, he had me try it on, and is doing the simple alterations on it for free (pants hem and sleeve shortening). He and the lady at the counter were nice and helpful.

Go here! He tailored my lined blazer for $ 20. Pinned it for me, took the time to discuss what I wanted and had it ready on time. It looks freaking perfect and now fits like a glove! I hope he ups his prices to meet his results. Great guy, very professional. My friends and I are taking a few more items there this week. It is worth the drive from anywhere to see Randy. I am glad he is just a few miles from me! Avoid the pricey shops in Elmwood and Berkeley.
