Albert’s Tailoring

My husband LOVES Albert. He gets all of his tailoring needs from him… from shirts, to pants, to his suits. Albert knows exactly what he’s doing, and can definitely walk the talk.
I do have to warn you though, he’s not the most efficient in business practices (minus 1 star for that). Although the work is quality, the business aspect itself, not so much. Expect the tailoring to take time. We’ve had instances where he told us to come back in a week, we did, and then told us to give him a few more days because it’s not ready. And, there have been times when we come back in those few more days, and it still isn’t ready. There have also been times where his credit card reader doesn’t work, so we have to come back with cash on hand. C’est la vie? But, the hubby loves Albert’s work so much, that he puts up with it. In fact, we work around this. So with this in mind, definitely proceed with caution. Just know that Albert really cares about his work and he’ll make sure that you get exactly what you need out of your tailoring needs.

Charged me for work he didn’t do. When I brought it back he claimed I never told him to taper the arms. Why the hell would I want you to bring the sides and not taper the arms? Then tells me it would be $ 20 more, and not to waste the money. Don’t worry, I wont be wasting money here ever again.

Heard a lot of good things about this shop. I took a Suit into Albert for alteration and within 20 minutes of walking out I called to cancel. Reason being, I bought a very cheap suit (polyester) and quickly reconsidered and decided I would purchase a quality (wool) one and take it back to him instead.
Albert agreed and we spoke about how cheap the original was and chalked it up to a loss. 10 days later upon walking in and bringing him my new suit to alter he decides to have an attitude because he says we already did the work on the original. I said don’t you remember I called right away to cancel? He mutters, walks away in frustration and basically tells me to take the suit, leave, and bring my Garments to another tailor. You didn’t follow clear instructions, and then decide to get mad at me and turn down new business in addition because of your own error.
Childish behavior from a supposed professional.

Albert is The Man! I have spent way too much money with him, but it is money well spent. He knows his trade, and as the saying goes, «a man’s best friend is his tailor». Despite the fact that my clothes are almost never ready when he says they will be, I’ve gotten to know Albert quite well over the years and would never go anywhere else. His lovely wife works with him, and their son is often in the shop, and seems like a nice young man.
If you go to see him, congratulate him on the marriage of their daughter last weekend!

Albert does really work and really knows how to alter a garment completely and not just «make it work». If you are on a tight timeline, it is best to consider options where you will be left dissappointed.

Albert is a superstar. I drive past 100 tailors to come to Albert. He’s low key, very very good — and a man of integrity. Highly recommend.

Ive been going to Albert’s for a while.
I always wear suits for work so i need nice suits, because I’m a salesman.
And there is nothing worst than a salesman in a cheap suit!
He really cares about what he does, with all of my suits that didnt have proper sleeve buttons, he removed the buttons added added a 5^th one that was a different color and then made the sleeves functions with a off set stitching. Come on, who does that unless they care.
They even repaired my suits free of charge when my work damaged them.
My last 2 suits though were late, which is frustrating when your excited to have something on and you go in your lunch break to pick something up and they havnt started anything!
But he cares and is personally delivering my newly tailored suit to my work when he is done to making the adjustments.
He is a star, he is a solid guy, but please remember that he is human, so mistakes can happen! but so long that someone tries to fix it, that all that really matters.
Try him!

I have always been happy with Albert. Roger Stuart’s had recommended him nearly 10 years ago and I have been going to him since. Yes, if you are in a rush, then you might be out of luck. He’s a tailor, not a magician. What he does takes time, so plan ahead. Quality product from him and he always makes me look my best.

Albert’s Tailoring is fantastic — incredible — amazing!!!
Albert is absolutely the BEST tailor in Los Angeles
I truly don’t understand how Albert could receive a negative review
Sure, Albert is busy, but quality takes time and quality is worth waiting for.
Our entire family has used Albert’s Tailoring for years following him to his current location
Albert is a great guy and an EXCELLENT tailor.
Disregard any negative review — Albert delivers excellent tailoring at a reasonable price

Albert was very efficient. We were very pleased with his workmanship. A great referral from Roger Stuart Suits. Will definitely use him again when needed.

I have used several tailors around Los Angeles and he is the best. He can be very busy so how quickly the work can be done depends on how many got there before you. But no question, the best tailor I’ve ever used…

I am confused by the customer service criticisms that Albert has received. The quality of work aside (which is as fine as any tailor I have used in Los Angeles or New York), Albert’s customer service is excellent. He accommodates timelines whenever necessary while one must be mindful of the fact that he has a full workload due to the simple fact that he is an excellent tailor.
If Albert is customer service challenged, why does he have such a long list of repeat clientele?
Try him, be fair with the requested turnaround time, and you will find the quality of the work and the service top notch.
Enjoy your Albert alterations… I travel between the two cities regularly, I have no time for marginal service nor craft; Albert does not compromise either. He is as good as they get in New York or Los Angeles.

Absolutely horrible and inept. Find another tailor who can do it right and has more skill and is easier to deal with. This guy can go from somewhat friendly to screaming in your face mad.
I had over 3 suits tailored by him. The reason at the time was I figured the devil you knew was better than the angel you didnt, but eventually he completely ruined one suit that was not salvageable. And the craziest thing is he would constantly behave like I had done something wrong and would put off fixing his massacre of my suit for many months.
I have never experienced such horrible customer service, it is inconceivable to me how someone can take your money, ruin a suit, then accuse you of somehow being partially responsible for his failure to do it correctly. It was a total nightmare. do yourself a favor and find someone who knows what they are doing.

I bought a tux at 3 day for an out of town wedding and needed it altered fast since the wedding was in a few days. 3 day would take a week to alter it so I decided I wound go to the Garment district the following day. I hadn’t been to the garment district in years so I I reviewed Unilocal reviews the night before on tailors in the area.
First I went to Ailbert’s because that shop got some good reviews. Albert asked me when I needed the tux and I said, today, he said it would take him two weeks. I asked for recommendations of other tailors and he really didn’t give me any (in fact he barely looked up from his sewing machine), he said there is one next door, down the street and all over the area. So really no recommendations.
This is not a review of Albert s work he may do a fine job I don’t know, but I felt if he wanted to earn my business next time he could tell me who he would recommend. Basic customer service. I wont be back to Albert’s. That is why my 2 star review.
I ended up at Gilbert’s (posted a review) and he did an excellent Job. I even ran into a tie shop owner down there I used to know and told him where I had taken it and he said Gilbert has been there for years and does a great job.

Where I live, in the South Bay, there are dry cleaners w sewing machines. These are fine places to take a pair of jeans w a tear. A suit, however, deserves a tailor. Actually, scratch that… A suit deserves Albert. The man is an artist w a finger on the pulse of men’s fashion. To try anything else is a waste of you time. I promise. I am particular and I wasted a lot of time before Albert. I’m not telling you he’s cheap. I find his prices very agreeable. That doesn’t matter. The work is excellent and that speaks for itself.

New Location; Moved to 111 N. 8^th Street but same great place! Even better as it’s about 4 times the size of the old Main Street Location!
Albert is a tailor whos first knows what he is doing and does it well. He is professional and polite (and «just nice») almost to a fault, and his prices are probably the fairest in town. I used a West Side tailor for the better part of 25 years. The work was decent and I figured I must be getting «the best;» I was paying a fortune and waiting two weeks for a pair of pants to be done.
Now, I found Albert! His work is better than any tailor I’ve ever used, the waiting time is 10x faster than the west side tailors, and his prices are the best in the city. It is worth the drive for his services, even if I’m making a special trip downtown. He’s open all weekend and is just a wonderful guy.

Albert is a professional and he has a keen eye for fashion, tailoring, and alterations. I recently purchased a tuxedo downtown and the suit store recommended I try Albert for my alterations. The store said that the only thing I needed to have done were the bottom of the pants, but I knew that I really wanted to have the already «slim cut» tuxedo tailored to fit my body perfectly. I had tried a few other tailors in the area but honestly I didn’t want to trust them with my tuxedo for fear of shoddy workmanship. So I took the salesman’s recommendation and tried Albert. What a great recommendation it was!!!
Immediately when I walked into Albert’s shop, it was very clean and it seemed professionally run. I was greeted by the lady in the back and Albert came out shortly. I must be honest and say that I was nervous if Albert’s would be able to do the type of alterations I wanted and how much it would cost. I wanted to make my tux look like the ones I have seen on the GQ magazines… fitted and styled for someone with a tall and slender build. I had a tuxedo before that I was never quite happy with or confident about wearing, so I was afraid that I have the same experience again. I was soooo very wrong.
I told Albert how I wanted it to look, and he IMMEDIATELY knew exactly what I was talking about. His knowledge of current fashion and trends was extremely impressive. He mentioned looking at a latest GQ magazine and seeing how the tuxedos were cut and styled. I was very impressed and immediately felt confident that he would be able to do the job. I forgot to bring on try-​on shoes and a proper shirt, but Albert said that didn’t matter. He said he would know exactly where it should be cut, etc. Without me having to direct him, Albert knew exactly that I wanted to narrow the pants and the sleeves and coat and he pinned it without me even asking. I was very impressed. I had a concern about a seam I saw in the lapel and he assured me he could fix it but told me he was 90% sure and he wanted me to be aware of this. I appreciated his honestly. I really felt that I had a professional fashion consultation. While he pinned my tux, he explained different things about how he had to do the alteration, what it entailed, etc. You immediately knew that he was going to be the one doing the work and not handing it off to someone else. NO ONE had ever spent this much time with me to make sure what I asked for was understood.
When I picked up my tuxedo, it was AMAZING!!! Seriously it was fitted just perfect for my body and looked like it was triple or 4 – 5 times more than what I paid for it. I looked at myself in the mirror and I really couldn’t believe that I could look like this. Thank you, thank you, thank you Albert. I appreciate your help. For the work that he did, I felt the prices were fair and will definitely bring other things to him. He is phenomenal.

I asked for a small bit of ribbon to be added to the collar of dress, but Albert’s was unable to do it and then could not recommend anyone else in Los Angeles who could do it. How is it possible a tailor can’t sew in a circle? I ended up taking it to a dry-​cleaner down the street, who put the trim on in less than 10 minutes.

I got my pants hemmed for $ 5.99 !!! Thats right the bottom of my pants were hemmed by Albert in less than 10 minutes for only around 6 bucks! This did a decent job

When you need a tailor that knows what he’s doing… go to Albert Tailoring.
It’s a little shop but the service and quality is exceptional.
It’s tough to find a tailor… and when you do… keep him in business.
