TERRIBLE!

by manenz at Citysearch

I take things here on occasion and every time I have to go back to have them fix what they have done. Its a fight to get them to admit there mistake and get them to fix it. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! The seamstress on staff clearly have no idea what they're doing! The staff in the front is so rude and could care less that they have unhappy customers.

• Cons: unprofessional staff in every way

The Best Tailors

by Psheppard at Citysearch

When I first came to LA 10 years ago I had a suit that I needed to get tailored as I had lost weight and was going in for an interview. I was told about Elias Custom Tailoring and when I went in they did a marvelous job and I have gone back more times than I can count. All my suits, shirts, slacks and one "old" leather jacket I had was redone and I bought it in 1988 and it looks like a new jacket. I have to say if you need anything done this place is the place to go always professional and on time and what I like most is everything fits like I stood there and had them sew the clothes on me. If you want a job done right then go to Elias my girl friend went to a shop on Montana Avenue cause she thought his quote for a fur coat was to high, guess what she had to bring it to Elias for the correction (thank goodness he could fix it). One last point I lost 26 lbs last year for a info commercial I did and all my clothes had to be altered and Elias did them and they all turned out wonderful. Everybody is always telling me how nice I look this place gets the credit.

• Pros: Very Sharp Staff and Workmenship is GREAT
• Cons: Wish they had more locations....

Good Tailors

by NHP at Citysearch

I don't know why Elias has so many negative reviews. I go here all the time and am very particular. I am satisfied with the job they do, you just have to have a clear idea of what you want and give them instructions. I am very well versed in tailoring and fashion and do not think that they deserve such scathing reviews.

• Pros: Parking
• Cons: Expensive

Not Worth It

by karolyn at Citysearch

I have been going here off and on for a few years. I will not go back. I have had to take most things back because the legs are never even. Even when I've asked them to pin both legs they do not come out right. The hems have gotten sloppier as well.

The men that work in here are extremely rude and do not care about keeping their clients whatsoever. They shrug it off if a customer is not satisfied. It is not their concern.

I've continued to go back because it is a convenient location for me and they can often finish pants on the same day if needed.

Yes, the walls are lined with celebrity clients but very few are celebrities who are popular today.

• Pros: none
• Cons: many
