Porter Tailor & Cleaner

They work wonders on sensitive fabrics — she got a lipstick stain off my silk blouse and did an amazing job on pressing my veil and satin wedding dress (and did so in a time crunch). They do a bang up job on all suites and other articles of clothing we’ve ever brought in. Cute little shop, too.

I have had great experiences here-​fast, reliable, and reasonably priced service. Nice that they are open until 6. I have taken dresses, pants, and a coat to be altered, hemmed, and repaired in that order and have been very satisfied with the quality of the work here. I would recommend it highly!

Brought in a pair of pants to be let down and made 1.5−2 inches longer. Went in to pick up pants to find they had been turned into crop pants and made 2 inches SHORTER! Owner offered to buy me a new pair of pants but as I had bought them on sale in a different state the offer didn’t help me.

I needed some men’s tuxedo pants altered to fit my very curvy figure. She did a fantastic job! The waist was probably 3″ too big and the legs very wide. I discussed my needs during the fitting and she made it happen! Only $ 36 (cheaper than other places). Cash only though!

Been going here for years for both dry cleaning and tailoring. Helpful, clean, and willing to make adjustments to their work at no additional cost.

My first time going to a tailor’s shop. Before I went there I thought it’s a tiny shop in a huge mall unit, but actually it’s a very cute and tidy place. Owner is a very nice Korean lady. She did a wonderful job altering and ironing my wedding dress. But the price is a little expensive for me. For altering only the bust and waist of the dress it cost $ 120, and ironing is another $ 80. I also asked for a quote for dry cleaning of the wedding dress (it’s a big dress, 4 layers), she said about $ 200. I’ve never been to other tailor and cleaner, so it’s just my opinion. Uploaded some pictures of the shop and price list. Would go there again for her reliable work.

I just want to say thank you. I always have odd requests, can you fix my BC, how about my wet suit, perhaps this bag that’s busted a seam? What about my camel back that I got 20 years ago… The answer as always been yes and the price has always been fair.

they do amazing work! Porter cleaners recently did my wedding dress it came out so perfect, i thought the price was great as well! They also do some patch work on my clothes occasonally always perfect!!!

I had a long gown hemmed for a special occasion at Porter Tailor & Cleaner last weekend. I decided to try them when BJ at another local alterations shop never returned my call when I was first shopping for someone to shorten and hem my dress. I sure am glad I found this little shop. The young lady that helped me was friendly and professional. I paid a little more than I had expected to, but since my special gown was two layers of delicate fabric, I don’t mind. There was a little one inch area that didn’t get hemmed on one of the layers. They fixed it for me with no questions asked. I appreciate that the lady that helped me was able to have her infant son right there with her in a stroller while she worked. I noticed their prices for laundering dress shirts is less than everyone else in town. The fact they’re open on Saturdays is wonderful, and they answer the phone right away… no need to leave a message. I’ll be returning to this shop in the future, and recommending them to my friends.

The beset in the county!

Two thumbs up!!!
I love this tailor shop.

Super!

I have had many pants tailored here, as well as a couple patch-​up jobs on jeans, and some cleaning. I have been very happy with the work they have done. It is typically a week turn-​around, which is fine by me. The atmosphere is so warm and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. I live across town and think it is totally worth it to trek into Soquel to support this business.

I get my work shirts, blouses, dresses, slacks done here. I can’t afford dry cleaning period all the time, but when I need it I go here. The tailoring is also very affordable and professional. The turnaround time may be a week or so because they have many loyal customers and this a family run business. The inside is cute too, with a little area to pin up slacks or get fitted for alterations. They give you a nice big hard bottom bag to carry your items home too. This place is far happier, more affordable and better than any other place I have been in capitola/​santa cruz. I highly recommend it.
