Reston Tailoring

I have been going to this local business for more than ten years. The work is first rate, and the owners are lovely to deal with. As noted in other reviews, they have moved and are now located at Lake Anne in north Reston– not at Hunters Woods as indicated in this listing

First and foremost… Reston Tailoring has moved! They are no longer in Hunters Woods Plaza. They are now in Washington Plaza on Lake Ann. Reston Tailoring and the two lovely owners are my heroes. I have used their services for years but this past week they pulled off a miracle for me. I needed major alterations on a long gown and needed it in 24 hours. I am not talking about simple stuff. MAJOR alterations and they gladly said they would help me and they did a great job. AND… no extra charge for the rush job. This operation is first class and I highly recommend them for all of your alteration needs.

After spilling a bit of buffalo sauce on my shirt at lunch, I googled a nearby place to get a shirt quickly that was still close to work. I came into Reston Tailoring and also got fitted for a tux since I have a wedding soon and was blown away by the service. Small business run by an older couple. Really attentive and personal, I’d come here again if I was in the need for tailoring services.

I will never go here again and i would not recommend them. i took a pair of brand new pants to have hemmed, went to pick them up and there was a one-​inch blue ink mark on them — i was furious and she consistently denied it was their fault, i was livid. so now they will send them to have cleaned and had better not charge me for it — i will never go back!!!

A small-​business feel run by an older couple.
It sounds like many of the complaints here are about «exceptions» rather than the rule. I haven’t had any issues here, so I can’t comment on their problem resolution. Rather, I’ve taken a number of trousers and jackets in to be taken in, let out, repaired, or otherwise altered.
They’ve done a nice job every time. Given some of the crazy things I’ve thrown at them, I’ve been satisfied with the outcome.
Prices seem to be fairly standard, honestly. The reviewer who noted $ 32 for jacket sleeves may not realize that that may be slightly high, but well within the norm. Conversely, I think taking in a suit jacket is about $ 50, which is on the lower end of what I’ve seen elsewhere. I’ll see if they have a price list next time I go in and compare it to Put This On’s price list. [1]
They’re probably more traditional in terms of fit (menswear, at least), so if you like, say, a narrower trouser pant, speak up.
I would change one thing: take down the posters of the crappy, polyester rental, 4-​button tuxes that come with 100 colors of matching bow ties, all terrible. I’m sure they do a fair amount of business from the prom crowd, and teenagers have no idea what formal wear is.

I called the store before making the trip out to Reston from my job near Dulles airport. I called to find out if I could get some things embroidered; I was told yes they could do it and if I came by today on my lunch break I could pick it up tomorrow afternoon. When I finally find the shop I had to wait only to be cut in front of by a «regular customer». I drove all the way out there only to find out the customer service sucks and the machine was broken. Take your business elsewhere.

Very expensive…$ 32 for shortening coat sleeves? Abrasive customer service… item was ready on time, but I will not be back.

They did a good job in a decent turnaround time, but it seemed more expensive than it should have been. I had one pair of pants’ hem adjusted and the waist let out and it cost $ 50. I tend to not wear a lot of clothes that require tailoring, so maybe that is the going rate, but it seems high to me at least.

After a previous good experience, my most recent experience here was not so great. After having new shirts tailored, the sleeves were a bit too long. They charged full fare to fix them and screwed up completely; taking multiple visits to fix. (The took in the sides that had already been taken in, then let them out as much as they could, then moved the buttons to compensate further.
I’ll be trying somewhere else next.

Sorry, Unilocal,for recommending this place. If you send someone else to pick up your clothes, and you find that they don’t fit, they refuse to stand by their work and will charge you a second time. What do they do if they screw up a second time and you have to haul your ass back in there and waste even more of your time? Offer you a 50% discount. Insulting. Take your business elsewhere.

T. The last piece i brought in was he tailoring was good but the prices were absolutely outrageous! I have used them several times because I was desperate but i never would again. $ 52 t0 shorten jack sleeves was UNBELIEVABLE. I will go anywhere except here.

Hard to find in this hidden strip mall, this is the place to go if you need stuff stitched and even more so if you want something tailored. Its run by a nice Chilean couple, with the tailor himself exuding old-​school style. My clothes felt nicer just from being in the room with him. On the other hand, it seems they have a nice «sweat shop» in back (see pic) of folks to do the actual work so the prices are not too bad.
In past I’ve used them to adjust some pants. He breaks out the chalk and does a good job fitting. He has also fixed a moth hole in one of my suits for me.
This last visit I just got done finally dropping my jacket off at Reston Tailor. I say finally because my friends have been giving me crap for weeks to fix the increasingly larger hole in the back or get a new one. But I have been too lazy to get it fixed and would rather not add it to land fill yet either. He sized it up and even suggested we take it in a bit to fit me better and also to make the repair look cleaner, I’m sure it’s going to look much better than if I had tried to hack it myself with needle and thread.
I also brought in a sweater to get fixed after the suit-​eating moths also discovered my sweaters in storage. Unfortunately after he looked it over, much more thoroughly than I, we discovered many small holes and decided it a wash. So it’s going to Good Will with the rest of them. Invest in moth balls or cedar people, because moths seem to prefer the expensive clothes!
If moths do get to your stuff, or you just rip your pants sliding down the metro escalators, or maybe you need take something in (congrats!) — bring it here. But not your socks, they apparently don’t darn socks (assuming he knew what I mean when I pointed at them). I’m going to try anyway when I pickup my jacket, because my holed socks are piling up and underpants gnomes refuse to steal them.
PS, They rent sell/​rent Tuexedos and sell some basic men’s wear as well — jackets, shirts, belts, etc (see other pic for a feel of there selection).

I had five pairs of pants shortened. They have great service and a fair price. I’ll definitely go back for any alternations I have.
