Customer Testimonials

“Chris did a fabulous job altering two 1980s vintage Willie Wear sport coats for me. No more shoulder pads! And he’s a great guy with great taste in music. What else could I ask for?”
— Elliott S., Washington D.C.

“Chris saved me…rip in the pants before a big event. He took me in and fixed it, paying such loving attention to detail. The best.”
— David K., San Francisco, CA

“I’ve been using their service for over 2 years now and I LOVE it! I can always expect accommodations being met and quality work being done. Friendly staff and expert tailor, I highly recommend Stephen the Tailor for all of your tailoring needs.”
— Kai M., Washington, D.C.

They did an incredible job getting my old tuxedo ready for a wedding. The pants and jacket needed serious work and I am glad I chose Stephen the Tailor. I did a fitting before and after the alteration. Both times, Chris carefully went through everything to make sure he understood what I was looking for. There were even a couple of small problems I had not noticed, but he found them and took care of it for no extra charge. The tuxedo came out great. Their work is thorough and professional. I will definitely be back!

I met the Master Taylor Chris at Stephen the Tailor. He was AMAZING! He has over 45 years of experience, and it showed in his way of taking care of customers and measuring me for my dress. I would HIGHLY recommend him,
— Erica M., Washington, DC.

On my trip across the US to discover at the airport my jacket liner had 2 holes in them. Before I landed in DC I inquired on Yelp. Stephen replied quickly and was accommodating to my rush requirement. I dropped off Saturday and picked up Sunday before my flight. Everything was repaired well at a very reasonable rate. Much thanks to Stephen I will carry on my travels with a jacket like new. Thank you sir!
— C Z., Boston, MA.
