Kim’s Tailors

The Kims are the best tailors I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my life! The store is in a great location in our little town of Olney with parking to spare. Inside you are greeted by Casey, the papillon terrier who leads you to the seating area which has a comfortable couch and coffee table.
My son needed to have his Ben Sherman wedding suit tailored — slacks made skinny, length accurate (with the shoes he brought with him, as they suggested over the phone), and sleeves shortened.
My son liked what he saw as it was pinned, and came up with an idea to shorten the jacket and curve the hem in front. Mrs Kim said it was an unusual request but was happy to work with my son on a design during the fitting.
Each alteration was not as expensive as I thought it’d be. The designing element of the jacket was $ 120 (as it involved redesigning, cutting, haute couture style) + $ 80 for the other alterations, totaling $ 200 even. Extremely reasonable pricing! It was completed in 7 days, dry cleaned, which was 6 days before they said it’d be ready! Mr & Mrs Kim, (and Casey the dog) were a joy to work with and we will be back for all our dry cleaning, tailoring, and alterations! #1 BEST TAILORS AND DRY CLEANER IN OLNEY!

This woman has no idea what she is doing, I would strongly urge anyone not to go here. I brought a bridesmaids dress here that needed to be hemmed, the bust needed to be tailored and it needed to be cleaned because it had previously been worn to a wedding.
I dropped the dress off, paid $ 95 in advance, and was told to come back in 3 weeks. When I came back to pick my dress up:
1. She had accidentally sewn the back of the dress to the front of the yes, yes you heard right, I literally could not get into the dress because she accidentally had sewn a piece of the back to a part she was working in in the front. When I showed her she ripped it apart, yes… Just ripped the thread so that I could get into the dress.
2. The bust cup was about 1 inch above where my breasts fell, so my boobs did not even fit into the actual cup of the dress, and it looked awful!
3. The pleats were completely messed up and no longer smooth.
4. She has accidentally sewn a huge piece of black thread under the sheer fabric, so on my chest was a long piece of black thread that was very visible, inside of the dress. When I pointed it out to her, she cut a small hole right in the front of the dress and pulled it out.
5. The brown stains that were all along the bottom of the dress, from it being worn to another wedding, were still on the dress. She has absolutely done NO spot treatment to it whatsoever. I couldn’t even believe she actually tried to give the dress back to me in this condition.
I am now paying even more money to have someone else fix it, and I am very upset. I would not suggest that anyone go to this tailor!

HIGHWAY ROBBERY. I will NEVER take my alterations to this establishment again. The alterations literally costed more than my dress itself…$ 150! Are you kidding me!!!
The proprietor gave no indication of how much the alterations would cost… perhaps that’s my fault for not asking?
I took a bridesmaid dress to have the length shortened, plus a couple areas taken in slightly… it was a Tuesday morning around 11am and I picked it up Friday at 6pm., I do not understand how that translates to a bill of $ 150.
Seriously ridiculous.

Having moved to Maryland from Pennsylvania a few months ago, I needed to find a new tailor. After reading the positive reviews here, I decided to give Kim’s a try despite the fact that the feedback was getting a bit outdated.
After bringing two pairs of jeans (waist taken in on both) and a dress (sides taken in) to Kim’s, I wanted to leave a current review — they do fantastic work. All my items now fit as if they were made specifically for me. Turnaround time is reasonable, as are the prices. And the friendly little Yorkie terrier who comes trotting out to greet you is the icing on the cake. I will definitely be back!

I was determined to find a permanent tailor because of my height (5′) which means I constantly need things hemmed. I came in with 3 pairs of pants (dress pants and a pair of yogas) along with a dress I needed shortened. I tried on each of the pants/​dress for Mrs. Kim so she could take measurements and mark them with tape. She is very sweet and patient.
It did take a couple days for the alterations to be done (came in on a Saturday; was told it would be ready by Wednesday) but I knew there was a lot to be done and would be well worth the wait. I tried on my different pairs of pants/​dress and they fit perfectly! I was very impressed with the quality of the stitching. This will be my go-​to tailor from now on.

I came to Mr. Kim based on the Unilocal reviews and incredibly close proximity to my house. My need: To get my favorite French cuff dress shirt taken in (and cleaned) and to get my new suit jacket altered. Now, I was hung-​over something fierce, but Mr. Kim saw right through my alcohol-​induced haze and got to the bottom of what I wanted.
A few measurements, a few nods, and a few marks later I was handed a receipt and told to come back in 4 days. I did as instructed and what I got back was a spot-​on jacket and an immaculate, properly fit shirt. Now, my cleaners that I’ve been using for months now haven’t been able to get my shirts 100%, but Mr. Kim truly impressed me with nothing short of perfection. The overall cost was $ 73 to tailor the jacket and shirt, and a few extra bucks for cleaning. I was overall very satisfied with the work performed. I’ve got several other jackets that need adjustment and Mr. Kim will receive my business for all of them.

Kim’s Taylor’s moved recently to Georgia Ave very close to where they were. They are very good so I drive from Bethesda to take my alternation items there. Great work and reasonable prices. Mr. Kim knows definitely what he’s doing. I learned he used to custom make tailored suits when he was in Korea, hence Master Tailor. He knows exactly what’s needed and does an outstanding job. Very nice people. I would recommend them with highest marks. You won’t be disappointed. I take everything there.

Located in the plaza where the slow KFC/​Taco Bell is, Kim’s Tailor is fantastic! You go in, tell him what you need, he nods, motions his hand towards the tailor’s pedestal, and measures. Like the other guy said, he doesn’t talk much, but he knows what you want done, and what’s good. Gone here several times for pants and jacket alterations, and they’re all fantastic. He even shortened the length of my suit jacket and you would never be able to tell. Might be a little more than other places, but at least I know he’ll get the job done right.

I love the two that run this place. They do basic and complicated tailoring, hems up/​down, tuxes, etc…
They couple that own/​work there are an old Asian couple with a yappy little white dog. They do not speak very much to you, only to say hi, but they do listen and get down what you want when you want it.
They are all I use, so I do not know if they are too pricey or not.
His business card says that Mr. Kim, is a Master Tailor (sounds impressive).
