Mario Master Tailor

Mario is just what he says he is a «master tailor»…hemming pants & minor alterations are no test for him… have him make something for you…

I’ll echo some of the other reviews and say simply that you get what you pay for. I have been burned several times at other tailors that provide shoddy workmanship. In contrast to those operations, Mario is, truly, a master tailor.
My mother is extremely knowledgable about sewing and was completely blown away at the quality of Mario’s handstitching on my pants, all of which turned out beautifully. Three pants hemmed/​cuffed and one pair of pants taken in an inch at the waist cost me $ 113 with tax. I also had the back of a jacket shortened to remove ripples (not sure what the technical term would be) and that ran about $ 50 if I recall correctly. Yes it’s expensive but as my mother told me, work of this calibre takes time and the price is not much more than you’d pay for uncertain results elsewhere.
You can bring any garment to Mario with confidence. When you’ve spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a piece of clothing, spending a little extra to ensure it’s perfect is the sensible thing to do.
Finally, although I have not had any bespoke clothing made by Mario, his fabric selection for suits and shirts is tantalizing; I plan to commission some suits in the future and will update my review accordingly.

Have you ever noticed the number of shady dives in this city that offer alteration services? Well, this place is the the exception.
The prices are on the high side ($ 15 – 20) for a pant hem but the quality of the work is very high. Mario is very friendly and professional. You’ll pay more here but will feel good about leaving your favorite pieces in his capable hands.

He charged my girlfriend $ 45 to hem two pairs of pants. Seems like he might be a scammer.

I needed to get my suit jacket sleeves shortened. I went to this place because when I called he quoted me around $ 30 – 35 to get it done.
(When I called City Tailor they didn’t even quote me.)
When I brought it there, the price jumped to over $ 50 because he said he needed to move the buttons. (well. of course there are buttons… was the original quote without buttons? strange.) I couldn’t be bothered and needed it done in a couple days.
He did a great job and didn’t push for anything I did not want. Final price just over $ 60. I would’ve expected to get the sleeves shortened at the shoulders instead of at the cuffs for that price!

The owner of this establishment is a very talented tailor with years of experience. I’ve only gone for pant hemming after a couple fiascoes at Glebe Tailors and I was treated to excellent service. It cost $ 10 to hem one pair of pants and they were ready in a few days, which is about average.
Mario also specializes in making military uniforms, tailored suits and coats, as well as custom made shirts, tuxedos, tail suits and oversized clothing. He knows how to best fit clothing for a person and he will be honest.
He’s closed on Sundays and Mondays, but open from 9am-​6pm Tuesday-​Friday and on Saturdays from 9am-​1pm.
