Pompe Tailoring

Brian is awesome! I brought a blazer, two pairs of jeans, and a pair of slacks to be adjusted. I agreed that the Saturday after Thanksgiving was a good time to pick them up. When I thought about it, I decided to go back and ask if just one pair of the jeans could be completed prior to Thanksgiving. He agreed. When I went to pick them up he not only had the jeans ready but all of my other pieces. The work was awesome!

I’ll never use this tailor again. I took in 2 pairs of uniform pants to be hemmed and taken in a bit. When I got them back and tried them on the fabric over my pelvis was bunching up and pooched out. I told him that it looked funny and asked if he could fix. He told me I would have to pay… to pay to fix what his poor workmanship had created. He demanded I pay for the work he had done. He had changed me over $ 100 to hem 2 pairs of uniform pants. When I told him I shouldn’t have to pay for fixing them he began yelling at me. Even with my husband present. I would never go back. This happened to me over 4 years ago and to this day I’m still so upset. I hope since then he has changed his attitude towards his customers. I hope no one else goes through what I did. His work was terrible and his customer service was even worse. He had even left me aggressive voicemails after the event occurred because I told him I would be going to the Better Business Bureau.

The guy was friendly & attentive. He said both of my slacks would be ready for Tuesday (dropped them off Friday) and they were. So I was pleased with that.
I would have given this place a 5-​star rating but $ 10 to shorten dress pants is a bit much. I understand people have to make a living & $ 10 is typical for this service around this area. It’s only 6 – 7 bucks in OC but that depends on whether or not you want to make the drive or have other business out there.

My wife brought in three items in for alterations. The items were done when promised and came out great. We were looking for a good tailor in town and now we have found one!

I have a strong feeling based on other reviewer’s comments that this tailor specializes in suits but he needs to draw the line right there!
I brought in a dress my daughter would be wearing as the flower girl for my best friend’s wedding. The back closure of the dress kept becoming undone with movement and under the armpit area was a bit open. Left the dress for a week, picked it up and had the same problems $ 65 later. My husband could have done a better job but we seeked a «proffessional» being that this was a wedding dress. We ended up using lot’s of saftey pins. Do not recommend and will not return!
This is the first time I’ve been let down by Unilocal reviewer’s :(

Expensive tailoring and takes way to long to work on. Also make sure you try your clothes on before you leave because they may not be done. I dropped off 2 jackets and gave him a week to do. I picked up a week later and was told they both was done, I made the mistake and not trying it on there. I get home and jacket number two was never tailored. Owner swears he made the alterations himself. Then he wanted another 7 days to fix. I gave him 2 days. This place will not earn my business again.

Had two OTR suit jackets altered by Brian. Professional work done at a reasonable price. Brian is extremely helpful and has a great demeanor. The shop looks unassuming but don’t let that discourage you from walking in and meeting Brian. Despite appearances, Brian does professional work and I would be willing to recommend him to anyone who needs alterations done to any formal or business wear.

I brought in two dresses to alter. First dress needed to be taken in and the second dress needed to be hemmed. The price was reasonable and he did a good job on them. His service was great! He expedited my order and was very pleasant to work with. I would most definitely come back if I needed anything else altered.

Not overly impressed like the other reviews. Had a dress altered and workmanship was fair. He used a completely different color of thread on the outside. Personally, he needs to UPDATE his store. My first impression when I walked in was that I stepped back into the early 80’s. VERY dusty/​Dirty and most of the clothes he rents/​sells looked like they have been hanging in the same spot for years.

Just had to respond to the slam by that woman who claims that they ruined her bridesmaid’s dress. I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Brian, the tailor here at Pompe. He said that he had taken the dress in the back to remove all of the pins that he had used to mark where the alterations were supposed to occur and that was all that he did. As she said, the dress had been only in his store for one hour and he did not even begin any work on it aside from placing the pins in it. The dress had been in her bridesmaid’s possession for how long? And had traveled from where to where with how many car rides? So when was it most likely damaged? I can see why she was upset since her wedding date was so near, but I am convinced that she was placing the blame on the wrong person. How could she be so sure that it wasn’t her bridesmaid’s fault? Yes, there ARE plenty of tailors in the Temecula Valley but very few that can do this level of quality tailoring. For my money, he’s worth every penny. All I can say is that he’s got MY business for as long as I live out here.

Brian (the owner) was very helpful and his experience shows. I took a new suit in and he knew what changes were needed to fit me. His 25 years of experience at Nordstroms can enhance your wardrobe at a very reasonable price.

Excellent! I am very pleased with the work that was done on a beautiful top that I ordered but was too short. I went and bought the material that I needed to make my shirt longer. I was very pleased when I went to pick it up. I will be returning for all my alteration needs.

Greatest place ever if you want to look GREAT~!

I’ve used one other tailor and no one can compare to this place! I’ve gone here for as long as they have been open as long as I can remember and I will never go anywhere else he is amazing and does a perfect job! Truly amazing and he is a great person! All around amazing place to get anything tailored
I know I can always count on him for the best possible job, he is friendly and professional. He will always have a nice conversation when you walk into the store.

Owner is a great guy! Great service and sterling workmanship, he is a true steward to his craft.

I owe this place a review, especially since there aren’t that many tailoring places around here that have been reviewed.
The only work I’ve had done here are hemming of jeans, so that’s the only thing I’m writing about. I’ve had seven jeans hemmed here (double-​meaning intended) and each have been great work/​quality. Prices here are comparable/​a little cheaper than Make It Fit in the OC (that’s the only tailor I could really compare to). The process is very simple: carry jeans in, change into them, he measures, change out of them, leave them and pick up in about 4 days (depending how busy he is).
Like I said, I don’t really have other tailors to compare to. But I am happy with the work here. Also, last time I came, there was an OC-​type blond wife who picked up jeans that were hemmed for her (presumable) hubby. I figure that she’d know what good tailoring would be right? :P
Here’s a tip before going in. Wear the shoes that you plan on wearing with the jeans you’re taking in. He always asks me if the shoes I’m wearing are what I will wear w/​the jeans. I think it helps him factor in the height of your soles.

First I want to say I love Brian the owner of Pompe. I’ve been going to him for the past 6 years and the quality of work has not fallen off. First he was just doing my suits then I said «If his work is this damn good I want him to do all my clothes». Brian is a very hard worker and really doesn’t have time for chit chat because he has a lot of work to do. Brian’s prices may be a little higher then other tailors and I’m always looking for a deal but in this case forget that I’ll pay whatever Brian wants. His shop is pretty small and he has a lot of suits for sale, ties, socks and a dry cleaning service. I don’t know what I would do if Brian ever went out of business, I think I would hire him as my personal tailor. I really LOVE Brian and he has a very pretty wife thats always at the shop:) If you want your clothes to look like they belong to you then you must come here.
