Caruso Enzo Custom Tailor

I wish I could give Enzo a 6. It might seem bias, because I’ve been going to the man for years and years, and yes he may take longer than your in-​and-​out neighborhood tailor, but he is a true master of his craft. He is extremely, extremely knowledgable, and is very thoughtful and considerate when he interacts with you, even though I’ve only interacted with him through his shop, I’d consider him a friend! My wish is to one day be able to afford one of his beautiful custom suits. I highly recommend Caruso Enzo.

Enzo can be an outstanding tailor, if you watch him very carefully. Otherwise he does shlocky work if you turn your head or don’t look underneath collars or examine button holes too closely.
And if you look carefully, you’ll find a rat’s nest of messy stitching that seems to have been done by an inept or high assistant. Found that underneath my collars.
Sleeve button holes require a great deal of concentration and you can tell when that concentration has been broken.

If you want a professional tailor with reasonable prices Enzo Caruso is it! He delivers in a timely manner, is a pro. and wonderful old school tailor. Love his work and seeing him.

Yes — he’s slow. Figure about a month before your suit is ready, and I recommend you call and give him friendly reminders along the way.
But honestly, I don’t friggin’ care if the guy takes three months. He’s simply a master. And he’s charming, friendly and knowledgeable. This is the real deal, folks, and you don’t need to go to Saville Row or Milan to get world-​class tailoring. Enzo Caruso is where I will have all of my suits tailored until one of us decides to retire.

Enzo came highly recommended (by Unilocalers and by a business colleague). I wish I could have seen his work product, but my suit and pants sat untouched in his shop for more than 5 months. He always promised to finish them «next week.» I finally had to go pick them up and take them elsewhere.

My husband’s wedding suit needed some last minute alterations. A little nervous as we had very little time to spare, we took it in to Enzo (based on Unilocal reviews). He not only completed the work before promised (and even called to tell us it was ready early), but did an absolutely amazing job. The suit now fit as though it were made for him. Grazie mille, Enzo! Marco looked fantastic!

Master craftsman and tailor, right here in Santa Monica. Superb handwork and handfinished details. Definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended!

I recommend Enzo Caruso for alterations and other tailoring needs. Attention-​to-​detail, good work (and good materials like thread, etc), and he’s honest. A real gentlemen. He’s got a slight backlog of work, I believe, so be patient. I don’t know of another guy on the westside of Los Angeles that I would trust with trousers, jackets, suits. I’ve taken my stuff and my wife’s there (trousers, jackets, shirts).
Years ago, I used to work for an old, established well-​known tailor in New England and, I’ve had custom suits and shirts made up in Hong Kong and London and I’m pretty picky about quality. Maybe even fanatical about attention-​to-​detail. I haven’t had anything made up by Caruso, but I have talked to him and he’s knowledgeable and I’ve admired some of the custom work I’ve seen at his shop.

Enzo is simply the best. Super great guy. Takes a little longer sometimes — he is after all a true Italian — but definitely worth the wait.

Enzo is the best. I’ve used him twice now to bring up some dress pants. This most recent time, I had a last minute trip to NY and needed some pants taken up by the end of the day. He not only managed to get the one pair I needed done, but did the other two as well, all with great kindness. He even pointed out that I had a spot on one of my new pairs of pants that I picked up.
Highly recommend him whether you live in this neighborhood or not. He’s been in this location for years and it’s great having such a master craftsman so close by.

There is just nowhere else to go for tailoring advice and tailoring. Enzo has told me that to do what I want to a particular garment would be to constrain the fabric, which was originally used to appear unconstrained. Of course, he was correct that I would be unhappy with the change. Luckily for me, he was actually thinking while he was working & left ‘a way out’ for me to get back the swing in the coat — no extra charge for the lesson! I’ll never take my fine garments anywhere else. That said, Enzo is not your guy for rush orders. Just accept it.

Welcome to the old country. Enzo is an incredibly nice guy with great sense of style … and expensive custom suits if you ever want one. He seems to get fit and can do it with minimal measurements. He can alter some of the oddest outfits that my wife brought to him and repaired the mistakes of other tailors. His stories are great and by the end you feel like you are a part of his life. And he has a bowl of werther’s original.

Very knowledgeable and detailed oriented guy. Enzo is straight from Italy, his stories are entertaining and his tailoring is spot on.
If your near him get to him QUICK for all your tailoring needs. He did my Marc Jacobs suit perfectly.
