Oscar’s Tailors

I have been taking my clothes to Oscar for over 10 years. Everything from having buttons sewn on shirts to having expensive suits tailored. He has always done a great job and I feel like he charges a reasonable price for the work he does. I originally found Oscar when I lived close by his shop but now I drive 20 miles to bring my clothes to him instead of going to any tailor closer by.

The reviews don’t lie! I picked Oscar after reading the reviews here, and was not disappointed. It’s nice to have every bit of the transaction done by the owner himself (measuring, alterations, payment, pickup, etc). Don’t expect next-​day turnaround but the quality is worth the wait.
I had 8 dress shirts taken in on the sides and under the arms for a more slim fit. To me it was pricey, but well worth it for the finished look. Still cheaper than buying new shirts. Done on time and no need to have any adjustments made. Bravo!

I take clothes there about once a quarter for repairs. Oscar’s provides fantastic service and quality.
Yesterday, when I needed a button sewed back on, Oscar offered to do it while I waited — for free!

I guess you’ll have more luck being a guy, but Oscars has come through for me not once but twice;) The first time, he relined a shearling jacket after I bought the pelts online. Only ONE other shop would do this and Oscar did a beautiful job at a very reasonable price. 8 years later, I brought over a Russian Shearling greatcoat and Oscar did a beautiful job relocating the buttons, using upholstery thread and doing it by hand. Oscar is da MAN!:)-John W.

I love the holiday sales; its a great time to buy some new clothes. Having a limited selection in Austin, I shopped in San Antonio and bought 2 new suits. That left the problem of having alterations. After checking multiple on-​line reviews, Oscar’s Tailors came to my attention. I was not disappointed– the pants required cuffs, taking in of the seat, letting out a vest, and some padding in the shoulders.
The clothes were ready when I returned 3 hours before their ready time. The tailor overlooked moving one button, but quickly took care of this. If you are looking for professionalism, high quality work, and a reasonable price, consider Oscar’s. They are tucked away at Mesa and Spicewood Springs, behind the service station.

Had some suit pants altered here. They quoted me a good price, did exactly what I asked, and had it finished by the time they promised. Quality work. No complaints.

I’m very impressed with Oscar’s work! I’m one of those women who has always endured the back waistband gap on jeans and pants. After buying several new pairs of jeans last year, then losing about 20 lbs this year… I decided to give alterations a try. Oscar’s is just a few minutes from my office… and my first trip out I learned to avoid the lunch hour… although he has 1 designated parking spot, between the new restaurant, Delaware Subs and Jack Brown… there was no place to park. Since it’s only 5 minutes from work, I came back an hour or so later.
Oscar very quickly marked where the alternations were needed and said they’d be ready in a week. That was fine with me (autumn is slow coming this year). When I picked them up, the waist band looked great and they fit better than they ever fit before. I dropped off 3 more pair and just picked them up today. Again, flawless job and they all fit great.
He does give a 10% discount if you drop off more than one item (each pair was $ 25, less 2.50 … for 22.50 each + tax). I sew and I’ve altered dress pants or items with simpler waistband construction, but I think jeans-​type seams, the stitching, belt loops, etc made this more than I wanted to deal with. I don’t need to buy new jeans because mine fit me perfectly now!

Oscar is the best and he can do it all.
I bought a suit from Men’s Warehouse last year. After having it tailored I was still disappointed with the fit. Oscar fixed them and they look and feel great. Recently he finished a sports coat for me and kept the store open a little late for me to swing by to pick it up.

This business reflects one man’s character and ability — that man is Oscar and my wife and I recommend him without reservation. Oscar has always done exactly what he promised — often he exceeds expectation. Unfortunately most of us expect to be disappointed and I admit a couple years ago when my wife said she had found a tailor in whom she had confidence, I wasn’t convinced. Since that time, I can testify to Oscar’s integrity and skills. He does not disappoint. We have even asked him to get items out earlier than originally promised — and he has gladly delivered. His location in Northwest Hills is not out of the way when you consider the result — we come from several miles away.

Oscar is amazing. awesome. the bomb.
I trust him to alter all my expensive clothes, and he always does a great job, guarantees his work, and has it ready on time. You can even pay (a tiny) $ 5 to have it ready the next day. Don’t believe the negative review, I have several friends who take all their clothes to him. I even moved way south and still make special trips to drop things off with him. He understands clothing construction, never takes short-​cuts on the alterations, and does a flawless job.
Don’t hesitate, use Oscar! (and if you live close… I’m jealous!)

I went to Oscar upon a neighbor’s recommendation. We are new to Austin so between Unilocal and a new neighbor tried Oscar’s Tailors. He has now altered 6 pair of slacks and one skirt and the results have been excellent. His prices are fair, work timely, and a small little shop with friendly service.

I pass by this place a lot and decided to check it out. I had a pair of pants extensively altered here. They did a great job. My stuff was ready when they said it would be less than a week, but more importantly the quality of work was great, I’ll definetly go back.

I am a huge supporter of small business and prefer to patronize them first instead of turning to chain companies. Sadly this was a poor choice, especially with a time-​sensitive, express tailoring job. Last week I brought in my bridesmaid’s dress for a friends wedding that I EXPLICITLY told the owner I needed no later than Saturday because the wedding was Sunday. He wrote that down on my purchase order and charged a premium since it was an «express» order. I left happy and waited to hear back from him.
On Friday evening near their closing time the owner left me a message saying the dress was ready. I went Saturday to pick it up and lo and behold, they were closed early! I panicked and went to the neighboring businesses to see if they had his personal number or any other way of contacting him but no luck. I could not be in the wedding without my dress of course so I called the bride and miraculously there was a spare dress on hand that didn’t fit another bridesmaid that I was able to wear.
I left a note on the door, several messages on their answering machine, and then just let it go for the weekend so I could enjoy the festivities. It was almost NOON on Monday morning before the coward called me back and left me a rude, curt message telling me to come pick up my dress.
Having a small business means knowing your customers and paying attention to details. This place is ALWAYS dead, and they were NOT busy at all, yet still were unable to notify me that they were closing early or to at least tell me their hours in the voicemail they left? I am certain they saw my dress hanging on their completed rack with the yellow tag and SATURDAY written across it! I picked up the dress yesterday and the owner was so rude, no aplogy, no excuse, no words, no nothing! Instead of using choice curse words in both English and Spanish I decided to hit him where it hurts and let other patrons know this place is not worth their time, money or effort. You’d have better luck with a stapler and tape then getting any level of service from these losers.
