The King’s Suit Custom Tailoring

A wedding emergency left us scrambling just two hours before the ceremony to find a tailor who would be open on a Sunday to repair a broken zipper. As the Matron of Honor, I was devastated when my dress’ zipper went off track just hours before the wedding due to poor tailoring from the bridal shop. Unfortunately, due to the timing, we could not replace the zipper in time, but the woman at King’s took her time to help do a makeshift repair for me. She not only spent her valuable time hand sewing the bottom of the zipper opening in place and pinning me into the dress, but also used her own fabric swatch to create a panel so that my back wouldn’t be exposed. She truly cared about and sympathized with my situation, and I am extremely grateful for her help! I would highly recommend this shop for your tailoring needs (both emergency, and non!).

The price difference of going to a master tailor over your local cleaners is almost negligible when you consider the tremendous level of service, quality work, experience, and understanding of suits that a master tailor offers. The overall value far exceeds the price. Simple hemming of pants can easily be done at the cleaners but for anything more advanced I highly recommend going to a tailor.
My first experience was a suit I brought in to have the jacket tailored as the jacket was a bit boxy and loose at the sides. I figured I’d start with an inexpensive suit as a trail run before handing them over my more expensive and delicate suits. They had me try on the jacket in front of a mirror for evaluation. While they pinned me up they explained the process and offered wonderful suggestions on how the jacket should (properly) fit. A tailored jacket should follow the natural lines of the body without any sort of tugging or pulling while allowing the fabric to naturally drape. King’s Suit Custom Tailoring has been also making bespoke suits for decades so properly pinning up a suit jacket was of course easy for them.
A week later my jacket was finished and tailored precisely as discussed. The jacket was part of a suit I wore as a groomsmen and I received nothing compliments all day. Guests thought the suit cost significantly more than the $ 150 I paid because the suit fit extremely well.
The next item I brought in was jacket from a suit which cost exponentially more than the previous. Same process as before and I am 100% confident the jacket will look and fit perfectly. Do not underestimate the power of a well-​tailored suit. A $ 150 yet well-​tailored suit will look better than a $ 600 ill-​fitting suit. Every time.

My grandfather was a tailor, my grandmother was a semesters. I haven’t found anyone as good as them, until King Taylor. This guy is old school, and I love it. Not a cleaner /​tailor, he is the real deal. Very friendly and accommodating.

Quality work and great customer service by the tailor and his daughter.
I went there a couple months ago with my suit blazer and trouser with hopes of getting them altered because they were about one size too big, or so I thought… They kindly explained to me that although most parts of the blazer may be a little big, the bottom part of the blazer fit me perfectly (I think that means that my waist is bigger than the rest of my body, but that is yet another story…) They showed me how the blazer would be altered and how the bottom part would be too tight, if I were to move forward with my request. They advised against it and I agreed. I am glad they educated me because I would be remiss to spend money to turn my not-​so– perfect blazer into a different not-​so-​perfect blazer after hearing their explanation.
They were however able to alter my trouser pants and they now look much sleeker.
The price was more than the going-​rate at dry cleaners, but it is well worth paying more for his expertise.
