Richard’s Tailor Shop

Super nice staff, they put a button back onto my pants for free in less than 2 minutes. I’ll look forward to coming back here when I have more serious tailoring needs.

This place rules– less costly than most tailors. Though they don’t do weaves here, they handle practically everything else in-​house for a reasonable fee. I work downtown and have even dashed over once with an emergency ripped seam (my ass was exposed) and another time with a zipper malfunction. Both embarrassing for a corporate drone! They were able to handle these quickly while I waited in the dressing room and had me back to handle business at my office within a few minutes. Carlos is da man and his crew are awesome. One star short of a five star only for the crappy parking in the area — certainly not their fault.

Richard’s shop has never let me down. I’ve been a loyal customer for a year now bringingt in over six pairs of jeans that his staff has modified to my specifications in a timely manner and at a reasonable price. Go with confidence. They are a friendly bunch of guys who listen and hustle to get it done right.

Been going to Richards Taylor for over 18 years. Carlos and the guys are the best. They specialize in Men’s, Carlos is one of the most amazing guys. They offer same day service and many times if its not busy they’ve took it and had it done for me ON THE SPOT. There’s no street parking so most time I park in red zone and hop out really quick (never got a ticket)

At Richards, they wouldn’t break from their lunch to help me. Said to come back in 20 minutes. When I said I needed to take care of it, at that time, or I would have to do somewhere else, he said I had to wait, or I could go somewhere else.

I’ve been bringing my suits here for alterations for the past two years and never had a problem. Parking can be an issue. meter parking’s are limited.

The shop manager didn’t want to show me the length he was heming a pair of pants to when I asked to see how short. Told me to go to another shop. If you care about getting the right height don’t go here

This is more of an FYI than a review– they only tailor men’s clothing. I brought 2 dresses there and they turned me away. They were nice about it though, and they gave me the business card of a place down the street that does dresses.

Guys are nice and friendly but for a first timer and first time buying an expensive sport coat. They left me with one sleeve shorter and I didn’t notice until I got ready for an evening engagement that night. Really sucked. Now I am hoping I can get it repaired somewhere else.

Fast, if shoddy, tailoring.

If you want to look like a million bucks, this is the place that’ll make it happen for you! Would definitely go back, great group of guys, great technicians.

I’ve been going to this place since early 90’s this place is the best in alterations !! Prices are reasonable and quality of work is spectacular.

Love this place. Carlos is the man and always does a great job at a great price.
Only reason for no 5 star review: parking — either pay $ 3 buck to park next door for 3 minutes or try find a meter. also the all-​cash thing is tough with only sketchy atm’s nearby.

I’ll start by saying – Nice guys, great technicians. I was also admiring that they are willing to run out to the street to deliver to people in the car outside (makes up for the heinous parking situation).
This is not the place to go if you’ve never tailored something before. They offered me no advice on where to hem certain pants, BUT when I brought a friend with me to pick them up and they were a bit shorter than they «should have been,» the tailor says to my friend «I was thinking he wouldn’t want them that short.» I wish you’d have said something! It was my first time, and I was BEGGING for advice.
Another ish: I brought a two piece suit to be tailored here and was clearly doing everything to bring it all in – sleeves, waist, thigh, calf. I got it back and didn’t realize until later that my sleeves weren’t taken in. I called them a while later (i didn’t realize they have a week policy) when I had more to be altered and asked if they’d take care of that free of charge… I think they didn’t understand me through their broken english because they said «Sure» …had I known they were indeed going to charge me, I wouldn’t have gone back. But hey, you live you learn.
I have a few dear friends that swear by this place so good on em.

The quickest, most fairly priced, convenient tailor shop I’ve ever found in LA. It’s tiny, but they’ll have your alterations done in minutes. They work right out in the open and start your job pretty much the moment you hand your clothes to them. A+.

I’ve been coming here for about a year and have taken a number of suits and sport coats to get tailored. I’ve done the standard «take in the sides and shorten the sleeves» request and I’ve been very satisfied with their work. I’ve also asked for more complicated adjustments to suits and pants and they’ve done fantastic work. Highly recommended. Carlos is friendly, to-​the-​point kind of guy and I appreciate his opinions.

When it comes to my tailoring needs I can tell you I don’t take the subject lightly. And to you men out there let me just say, if you don’t get your suits tailored, you’re basic and need to stick to sweatpants and track suits while leaving fine clothing to the grownups. But once you make the leap and say, «Hey, I want to dress fly as fuck like those gentlemen I see out and about» then get your suit game right and GET YOUR SHIT TAILORED. I can’t even convey the pain I feel when I see an otherwise handsome gent wearing some dumpy, baggy suit, draping over his frame like a potato sack.
FACT: The threads themselves don’t have to be crazy expensive to make them tailor worthy, in fact you can take an otherwise frugally purchased suit and make it *look* expensive just by getting the right fit. And that, my friends, is why a tailor is so important. They simply make you look better.
Everything I’ve brought to Richard’s has turned out stellar. I speak with Carlos and he just knows what’s up, you can tell the crew in this place has been mastering the craft for a very long time. No matter what I bring in, Carlos and I chat for maybe five minutes, he makes a few marks and voila, I’m out the door. A few days later and I’m scooping up what’s mine, paying crazy cheap prices for top notch services, and I’m ready to roll around town in a suit that looks like it was made for me.
I know some folks that trust the resident tailor at their local dry cleaner and if it works out, hey, good for them. But Richard’s is a Tailor Shop. That’s it: they tailor, that’s what they do, that’s why they’ve been there for 43 years.
Get your game right, kids. I don’t always wear a suit but when I do, it’s tailored. And chances are, it was tailored right here at Richard’s.

I have taken several items here and the quality has been poor every time, but first the good. Prices are cheaper than most higher end tailors in LA (although I would say you get what you pay for), they are fast, customer service was good.
Unfortunately, the good is not enough to make up for the bad. Their seams tend to not be straight and look sloppy. This is annoying enough but I have actually had to resew things they tailored for me after only a few days because the seam ripped out. I don’t plan to go back.

Great service! Great job! I had my pants fixed in about 5 minutes. Yes, 5 minutes. I’ll definitely be back. ¡Gracias!

You know that friend of yours who has impossibly high standards and impeccable taste in everything?
Well that friend sent me here.
They’ve done a brilliant job with both women’s and men’s tailoring that I’ve brought it. They’ve done same-​day rush jobs for me for little or no extra.
The main guy (not sure if he’s Richard or not) is always super-​friendly.
I don’t recall the prices exactly, but I think hemming women’s pants runs about $ 6 – 7 for a rush and $ 4 – 5 for regular service.
Be warned: CASH ONLY.
Not one problem yet! 5 stars well-​earned.
