Gregory’s Fine Tailoring

I have been to his location on Summer Street. Did a nice job on a dress for me. I had to chase him down a bit to get it.
So now he has moved. I called his phone (which is a cell, not a business phone) and he said he was located behind Men’s Warehouse. HE IS NOT!!! He is located in the back room of a very shady jewelry store on Temple Place. Yes, you have to walk into the jewelry store full of some very scary people. Then go into a back room. Just a room. NO DRESSING ROOM TO CHANGE. He said he was getting a contractor to fix it up, but my gut instinct is that he is not. The room is in shambles. It’s dirty and smells so badly of body odor. I notice a surveillance camera where you have to change. He tells me its broken. He said change here and I will come back when you are finished. I had 6 articles of clothing to be tailored. He asked if he could walk to the ATM with me to get the cash to pay him in advance. With that being said, I do not trust him or the surroundings that he is in. I took my clothes, and left. I will never go back. Please be careful if you visit his new location.

First of all, Gregory has never called me with status updates. I’ve initiated every contact in this matter. Unprofessional.
That the fabric was back ordered was the excuse I got around when the shirts were a week late, back in August.
The latest excuse is that the fabric arrived and the shirts are complete, but that the cleaners lost the shirts. This dates back to late September. My last contact with Gregory was when he hung up on me in mid October, when I demanded a refund that had been promised to me for weeks.
By the way, Gregory still has my deposit, I still have no shirts, and Gregory still has not contacted me with an update. Incredibly unprofessional.

First of all Greg’s resemblance to Tony soprano is uncanny. Second of all he does great work. I dropped off a suit to get tailored on Wednesday and he had it finished by Friday. The suit fits perfectly. I would definitely recommend his work

Suit alterations not finished on time. Went to pick up and they were not ready. Was promised (MULTIPLE TIMES) he would deliver the suit directly to me but to no avail. Claimed his credit card machine just broke but if you read other reviews, this has been the case for a while. Demanded cash up front. Will be taking my business to another tailor in the future.

Very frustrating. Only giving 2 stars because he does good work, but you must call before you pick up. Otherwise he’ll never do the work. Also he publishes hours for Saturday but leaves a note on the door with a cell number that says he stepped out, and if you call he is ½ hour away. I could go on and on. Also did elbow patches that didn’t match. Cash only but alleges his credit card swiped isn’t working. Doubt that. His good work is not worth the waiting and frustration. I could go on but I’ll stop here.

Please take the time to read this. It is hard to believe how poor Gregory’s service is. I dropped off a bridesmaids dress on June 11^th. When I got to Gregory’s there was a note saying I’ve stepped out call the number listed. I called because I was on my lunch break and wanted to get the dress dropped off. He said I will be right there I am less than 10 minutes away. Mistake #1, I waited for him and he showed up 23 minutes later. Already over promising and under delivering. He also wanted a down payment and the credit card machine «does not work». Standard business practice? After the fitting, he told me he would have the dress ready for the following Tuesday, June 16^th. I told him the wedding is June 28^th and Tuesday, June 23^rd will be fine. I come by at lunch on Wednesday, June 24^th and the dress had all the pins and had not even been touched. He apologized and said it would be ready by 5pm that day. At 4:50pm I call to make sure and he said they need more time 40 minutes? Okay man I told him I would come Thursday so they had time to finish it. Thursday comes, today!, and I show up at 5:10pm. The dress is being altered in front of me and he said it will only be 10 minutes. I waiting 45 minutes! I tried it on and it fit but I explained to Gregory how unsatisfied I was with how many times I had to come and the dress was never finished. He claims he is the best in Boston and didn’t need my business after he took the full amount of $ 80 and did not apologize for the multiple inconveniences. Not even an apology when I sat for 45 minutes. After he got my $ 80 for the alteration he basically kicked me out and shut the door. The Best in Boston? If over promising, under delivering and being rude to customers is the best then he’s it!

I highly recommend Gregory’s Fine Tailoring. I had a suit that was mail ordered and the fit was all wrong. My time frame was tight and Gregory was up to the task. He finished the suit early with exceptional work. He is a sartorial craftsman and a true professional. I would send anyone looking for a tailor to see Gregory.

I dropped off a month ago a three piece suit and a pair of suit pants for tailoring and though it took a while to track down them once they were altered — a few weeks of calls and stopping by — they were absolutely perfect and Gregory did an excellent job. I really recommend this place for their work but am reviewing them a little lower because it took so long to get my clothes back. That said, I would go back.

When you find someone like Greg who you can trust, you never want to go to anyone else. Greg specializes in custom fittings, alterations and tailoring. His services are always done on time and are well priced. It doesn’t matter how high or low end your clothing is if everything fits like a dream. The secret behind the best dressed people isn’t designer labels, it’s a good tailor and Greg is always willing to go that extra mile to make sure you are satisfied.

Consistently does great work. Is quick to fix in an emergency– always comes out great. I have had bridesmaid dresses, floor length gowns, suiting and cocktail dresses hemmed and tailored by Gregory.
It feels a bit disorganized when you walk in because you do not always walk out with paperwork, but he manages to get everything done and everything done well. He was recommended to me by a colleague and now the whole office is going to him. His enthusiasm for his job shows and he is great at what he does.

I called Gregory at 730am to do an emergency alteration to my bridesmaid dress. I needed it by the end of the day and he saved the wedding!!! Oh I wouldn’t uh been able to breathe. Or eat! But now I can. Thanks Greg.

Bought a Groupon for Gregory’s and he would not honor it.

I went to this tailor because the other tailors around where I live were too busy to tailor a dress. When I first went in I thought it would be a great experience because he seemed to have a lot of business and was nice. Little did I know that it would be an awful experience. He told me to come in for a fitting the next day and kept pushing me to commit to come in early. I went in during my lunch break which is what we had agreed upon and he hadn’t done anything to my dress. He said I could wait and it would take him five minutes. I politely told him that I couldn’t just wait and that I would come back in the afternoon. I went back again about 4 hours later and my dress had been cut but nothing else. He told me wait and it would take him five minutes to finish the hem. An hour later of me sitting there he was finally done. I was so mad that he did this that I basically took the dress and left. He also likes to be paid in cash and I argued the price down because of the experience. I will never go back and wouldn’t recommend this place.

Gregory saved the day for me! I had a bridesmaid dress crisis the night before the rehearsal dinner. The zipper on my dress had split into two different directions and i could not fix it myself without ripping the dress. I had originally gone to Tony the Tailor to do my alterations (do not go to him he is way overpriced). I had called Tony to ask him for help and he tried charing me $ 60 bucks just to fix a zipper. I got in an arguement with him and left in a panic. Luckily Gregory helped me out very last minute and was able to fix the zipper on my dress without replacing it! He had it ready for me to pick up before the rehearsal dinner and charged me $ 25. That’s more than half of what Tony tried charging me when I had already paid the man $ 200 bucks to cut off an inch on the bottom of the dress and to take the bust in a little. I will always bring my alterations to Gregory from now on. He is a extremely helpful, polite and fair in prices. 5 stars for Gregory!

Gregory is AMAZING!
I flew in from across the country and needed my bridesmaids dress hemmed within a few days. My friend recommended Gregory and took me to see him. I told him my situation and he said he could have it for me by the end of the day!
I put the dress on and had him pin it to the perfect length. I also needed it taken in significantly up top, but was planning on getting a big bra to fix the problem based on my time constraint. Gregory offered to take it in up top too, which definitely wasn’t an easy fix with the built in boning!
I returned at the end of the day to pick up my dress and it fit PERFECTLY! AND it was super affordable.
I would highly recommend Gregory for ANY of your tailoring needs/​custom made clothing. Great work, great timing, and great prices. He is a lifesaver!

Work on my jacket, which I was told would be finished in two weeks, was not done over three months later, and in fact was never fully done. I was never called about the status of the work. I was lied to several times about when the work would be finished. I demanded the return of my jacket twice in person and was refused each time. In the end, I was able to get my jacket back only by threatening to sue for triple damages, at which point Gregory finally returned my jacket; to his credit, he refunded my deposit in full and actually did some of the requested work, albeit with mediocre quality.
If you’re curious about the details of Gregory’s repeated lies and what I had to do to get my jacket back from him, see

Totally happy with the tailoring! I looked way skinnier than I really am.
My breasts could have looked better, but Gregory’s a fantastic tailor, not a plastic surgeon.
He gave me loads of attention and made time for me whenever I called, apparently it was cheaper than the other bridesmaid’s dresses so I was a happy camper =)

I recently had a few pairs of pants that need to be repaired and re hemmed. I was also in the market for a suit. I found Greg in downtown crossing, this was good as i live and work in the area.
I was immediately greeted by Greg, and was impressed by his knowledge and his desire to make sure i was getting what i needed from him… I felt so comfortable with him that i asked him to show me some silk fabric as I was looking for something special for my daughters upcoming wedding. Greg measured me…(it was done with precision)
we settled on the fabric, the price (very competitive, especially for a custom made suit)
we agreed on a delivery date and fitting date. 2 weeks later i returned, Greg was ready with my suit and surprised me with a beautiful dress shirt that he threw in.
the suit was killer, the fit was awesome, and I was happy.
i came back for my suit 3 days later and I was even happier.
I have read other reviews about Greg not being there or not having items done on time. I simply just called in advance \made sure he was available and never had a problem… this guy is very talented. i do not understand why he gets a bad rap… people should try to communicate with each other. this guy is good

Dress came out perfect, but I won’t be going back. I feel bad giving a bad review, but I literally came into this store to check on my dress more than I plan on for my wedding dress! (We’re talking more than 7 times)
The dress was literally there for a month. I wonder if i had said «rush» maybe it would have mattered. But it didn’t make me want to get anything else brought in there, especially if I had a time commitment at all.
It cost $ 90 to get a size 10 dress with an empire waist into a size 6 dress. It was a deal when I got the size 10 on ebay, but it wasn’t a deal after I was done.

I searched for a tailor to take on a complex tailoring project on expensive clothing. I came across Gregory’s Fine Tailoring after reading some reviews on Unilocal and other review sites. I visited Greg’s shop near Downtown Crossing and was impressed with the amount of time that Greg spent with me talking through options for accomplishing this complex effort. After we agreed upon an approach, Greg assured me that the quality of the workmanship would be high. Upon retrieving my clothing, I tried them on in Greg’s shop. They fit perfectly. Further inspection of the workmanship reveals that the stitching is as good, or better than when I purchased the clothes new in the store. I’d also add that it took more effort to complete the project than initially thought, however, Greg kept his promise to perform the work for the original quoted price.
I was very pleased with the honesty, integrity and workmanship from Gregory’s Fine Tailoring.

I’ve been coming here for quite a while. He is always open, both early and late which is very convenient. Gregory, himself, is very nice. Actually being in the shop is another issue though. He’s often not there and leaves completely incapable people there. People who don’t do tailoring, can’t take measurements, and can’t find your clothes if you go to pick them up.
My last 2 pants that I had hemmed: 1 pair they were hemmed unevenly, the other were too short. He’s very willing to correct mistakes but its not really convenient. I’ve tried to pick up the other pair 4 times, he is never there, and the people he leaves there can’t find them.
This morning I went to have another pair hemmed. he was not there. The man he left there said he might be back in 20 minutes. I was extremely frustrated, and told this man this, b/​c this keeps happening there, at which point he started yelling at me. I will never go back to this store again.

Gregory is very attentive and takes immense pride in his work. I had a couple pair of dress trousers hemmed to perfection, and then had more challenging request to shorten some jeans but wanted to retain the original fnished bottom of the jean, and Gregory did a fantastic job — they look like they were never altered!
I would have no reservations bringing my most expensive garments to him for tailoring — and plan to do so in the future.
