Montecito Excellent Alterations & Tailoring For A Perfect Fit

He is excellent. Good prices, and excellent work. He has tailored many a pair of pants for me over the years, and the work is so good I forget they were ever tailored. He’s got great attention to detail and makes small adjustments so that things fit just perfectly. I moved farther away from San Rafael and made the mistake of going somewhere else, and realized I need to just make the drive back here!

After reading the Unilocal reviews, I decided to bring a few pairs of jeans here to have the waist taken in as well as a silk shirt slightly modified (I mean slightly!). I typically go to another seamstress across town who is amazing, the only down side being that she is so good at what she does it takes her longer to get the clothes back to the customer. Anyhow, I thought I would try someone new and I was in more of a hurry this time around. Wow, am I sorry I branched out. Kabir completely botched the job. They looked pathetic. He basically pulled equal amounts of material together on each sides of the waste band in the back of the pant and stitched it together. Awful. It looked like it took him, literally, 5 minutes. The shirt, luckily, turned out fine– thank god it was only 3 small stitches. So in the end, I ended up taking them back to my gal to fix them which or course cost me more time and money in the long run. Oh well, lesson learned. stick with what works!

Always fast and amazing service when I come here. Kabir always makes sure to put time and detail into his work but doesn’t overcharge. I know he has a lot of regular customers, which is not a surprise. It’s not worth it to overpay for alterations elsewhere when you can pay at a reasonable price here. Does all kinds of alterations and I know he’s designed wedding dresses before too. Always recommending him to others. If you’re looking for a place to get alterations, look no more!

This tailor does excellent work! The alterations are always ready when he says they will be. He is the best I’ve found in Marin County!

I brought my beautiful, too large, shearing coat to Kabir to have it taken in. I needed the body of the coat altered as well as the shoulder area. He did a beautiful job; excellent fit and craftsmanship. A true professional and a reasonably priced. I am now shopping my closet to see what other pieces of my wardrobe that he can help me revive! Thank you Kabir!

Top quality at a great price. I’ve never had to wait more than a week for alterations.

I took four pair of too-​long pants here to be hemmed up based on Unilocal reviews and was extremely pleased. They were different styles of casual pants. I was a bit worried that the hem might not match the style of the pants or end up looking odd. You would never be able to tell these pants were altered — they looked «original» and were the perfect length. It was $ 15 per pants — don’t know if that’s expensive for tailoring or not (first time I ever took pants to be hemmed), but the end result was great so I didn’t think it was bad at all.
The shop is small and tucked in a back corner down the «alley» from Pinkey’s Pizza so you have to be looking for it to find it. It’s worth the effort!

I’m very pleased. I brought in a jacket and leather blazer and he did them both perfectly. I’m not sure about how price competitive he is as I don’t have tailoring done often. I trusted the reviews here on Unilocal and was not let down.

We’ve had several things done here including a few easy pant hems and a more complicated job altering motorcycle leather. Very nice quality of work, pretty quick turnaround times, and reasonable prices.

I just recently started going here for alterations because I moved from Corte Madera to San Rafael. I feel very fortunate to have found such a great place. I’m extremely particular and detail oriented, especially when it comes to my clothing, most of which are middle to high end designer –they have to fit just right. Excellent Alterations knows how to fit them just right, and does an excellent job through to the finished product. The turn around time is usually quick, within 1 week or less depending on how much I bring in, and the prices are very fair. He gets top marks from me.
