Just got a pair of jeans hemmed, but for 20 bucks and next day availability I’m pretty happy! Will definitely use them again

I have been going to St. Clair for a couple years. I have brought them several difficult custom requests for alterations on coats, jackets, pants, and jerseys. They do impeccable work. I would highly recommend them. If you care about quality and detail they are a great option. In Addition Fatima has a terrific eye. I often describe loosely what i’d like done and let her do the rest.

I’ve been going to St. Claire and Fatima for five years, and they both do an amazing job every time. In particular, they have fixed a few bridesmaid dresses for me, and actually made those tricky dresses look really good! I also genuinely enjoy the experience of going in there, they’re great people!
Fatima has also provided helpful suggestions for how to make pieces more flattering or fashionable. For example, I had brought in a dress with a ripped sleeve for her to fix, and she suggested shortening the sleeves while she was fixing it anyway to make it more youthful and stylish, and she was right. Another time, with a bridesmaid dress, she suggesting making an alteration to make the neckline more flattering. She was very upfront about the extra cost. I decided not to make that alteration, but she was spot on that it would have been more flattering.
As for the cost, tailoring is expensive. You would’t expect a plumber to come to your house for 15 bucks, and the same goes for good tailoring. So it’s not cheap, but their work is high quality and they have a good eye. They are also very upfront about how much things will cost, and I sometimes talk to them about what changes I can forgo to bring the price down. They are also fast, and call me to let me know when my pieces are ready. All in all, they are great, and I continue to take my business there!

Consumate professionalism. I have been a customer for over 2 years now, and the results are always impeccable. The one thing you need to know up front, is that you are going to pay a premium, for premium craftsmanship. This is not the «tailor» at the back of the suit store, who does a $ 10 hem. St. Clair, the owner has completely reconstructed several of my suits and jackets, due to my body style, and given me a sharp, clean look every single time. His work can often rival the cost of what the suit originally cost when buying a cheap suit, but he can make a bargain purchase look like hand made original.
What ever suit you take in, if you trust and let him do what he says needs to be done, it will be the best garment in your wardrobe.

While I am sure the tailoring of the tux I took in was very good, I give my review based on the business practices.
When I first took the tux in, I was going only based on the reviews I read here. After quite a long fitting, I was a bit shocked when they told me the price was just over $ 200. Honestly I got the tux on sale and it wasn’t much more than that cost for the tailoring.
I was upset, but I figured I didn’t ask up front, so that was on me and I sucked it up.
I went back for my post first try fitting and there was some minor adjustments that needed to be made. No big deal.
The big deal came when I just went to pick it up and tried it on for a good fitting. As I started to leave the lady, owner I assume, said «Oh wait, I did extra work on the pants, we only charged you originally for a hem.»
The price? Another $ 50. Now Im past the price I paid for the suit. My issue was that she NEVER mentioned another charge, I would have never accepted it and just left the pants as they were, it was nothing that looked horrible. She told me today as we tried the suit on she noticed they were a little baggy. She should have said, they are a little baggy, for $X more I can taper the leg …
Sadly, I paid more on tailoring than I did the tux and feel like I paid at least $ 100 too much, especially considering how they handled the entire process.

Impeccable workmanship, friendly and courteous service… I thought that pride in workmanship was fading… not with Bespoke Tailoring.
I had a new suit that needed some significant tailoring… St Clair took his time, asked and listened to my wishes and provided outstanding workmanship in about a week. You get what you pay for… and with Bespoke tailoring, you get that and more.

St. Claire tailored the tuxedo I wore at my wedding. He’s somewhat expensive, but if you want your clothes tailored well, he’s a safe bet. He does really good work.

Superb. Brought in a skirt with lots of tiny pleats — it came back at just the length I wanted and perfectly pressed. Skirts like mine take great care and skill, so I’m thrilled with the finished product. St. Clair was patient, prompt, and friendly.
Thanks, Unilocalers, for tipping me off to St. Clair!

St. Clair did a great job on very short notice performing substantial alterations to a tuxedo I purchased for my wedding.
The stakes were high, and he delivered.
Thanks to other Unilocal reviewers for their comments, that’s how I found him.
His work isn’t cheap, but if you want it done right, he’s your man.

UPDATE
I got my suit back today — flawless.
I get all of my clothes tailored slim/​euro fit, whatever you’d like to call it. The suit I brought in (hugo boss) has an even greater cut– Cost for the jacket was approx $ 70 ($ 35 – 45 to take in on the sides/​upper back, $ 30 for sleeves shortening, which is overpriced in my opinion — reasonable cost for sleeve shortening would be approx $ 17 because it is not skill intensive).
However, St Clair did a great job and I’ll be going back soon.

I went for consultation, asking if I would be able to get a jacket tailored. They were very polite and honest — It was also obvious that they were very knowledgeable.
Prices were moderate and I plan on taking my suits there from now on,

NOTE — I read Robert’s review and checked the phone number listed… it still works. I got St. Clair’s answering machine, so maybe it was just temporarily not working when Robert called. I don’t think Robert should have given this place a one-​star review without even trying it.

The owner of this little shop, St. Clair, is exceedingly talented. He made my dream wedding dress from a few photographs and several meetings with me. I received so many compliments on the dress, and IMHO it was perfect.
I knew exactly what I wanted in a wedding dress, but unfortunately was discouraged by what designers were making. I knew I wanted a tea length wedding dress for sure. I really liked Monique Lhuillier, but none of her designs were my true ideal. I wanted something that was a little more «me,» but I have no clue how to sew and obviously wasn’t going to learn that quickly.
After speaking with several tailors in the area, I chose St. Clair bc he was within my budget and extremely personable and professional. I am so glad I made that decision. I’ve posted some pictures on here so you can see for yourself how talented he is.
