- 0 stars I would never recommend not even to an enemy. I called last night just before 6 PM (5:45) and I spoke with a man who claimed to be named Albert. I asked him if he could have a quick turnaround service since I'd be leaving for Europe shortly. He said come right away me being in Beverly Hills and him about 10 minutes I asked him a couple questions before I left like, would it be possible to have a quick turnaround? I just need a quick seam taken in from the back. How long would it take? He said if I didn't arrive soon he would leave so I jumped in the car and arrived at 6:03 PM. I knocked on the door and called but he had left. Why did you tell me to come and that you would wait for me only to leave and be rude? This kind of attitude doesn't deserve any kind of service. It's just complete indecent. He himself told me to come right away and he will wait only to leave. I have only a few words for you karma is a bitch! Just a little insight of my encounter with this tailor... I just thought the neighborhood would like to know the true nature of this man. Highly do not recommend! read more

Francisco is amazing. He takes great pride in his work and recommends only what the customer needs. Thank you, I will be back!! read more

Great alterations to pants and keeping original hem. A little bit expensive, but for the quality it may be worth it.

I took a pair of jeans to get hemmed here the other day. Very friendly service and flexible on the pickup date. It was fairly priced for the area too. My jeans turned out great. I'm happy to have found a good tailor nearby! They accept cash and Venmo. Pro tip: make sure to wash any new pair of jeans that you need hemmed before taking them to a tailor! Otherwise your jeans will end up too short after their first wash. read more

First time I went, service was fine. $45 for two pairs of pants. Second time I went, he charged $60 for one pair of jeans which didn't seem like it was altered properly. The waist was still loose and length was still dragging on the floor. Will not go back. read more

I last minute needed to get three items altered - dresses to be exact. I found Albert through searching online and he was a lifesend. He was able to see me at 9am and do a same day alteration for my items. I thought I was going to be SOL but he kept his promise and did a beautiful job. I would fully recommend going to Albert if you need an alteration in West LA. Reasonably priced and good stitching. Cash only! read more

I had an Allsaints leather jacket that was made with a very warped lapel. I loved the fit of the jacket but wouldn't wear it because the lapel was an eyesore. I bought another one to replace it, and loved the lapels on this new one, but hated the smaller fit. I had the idea of bringing the jackets to a tailor to swap the lapels so I could wear my original jacket with a better lapel and give the other jacket to my brother. Almost every tailor I brought the jackets to, told me it couldn't be done. I was about to give up until I went to Alberts. They truly are leather specialists! Francisco was able to make my idea possible and put the best care and attention to making it happen. He did a huge amount of work in a very fast timeframe and he regularly followed up with me on when it would be ready. The jacket's new lapel is immaculate and there's essentially 0 signs of alterations. The price was very reasonable and I will definitely be back for anything leather that I need tailored/altered. read more

The quality of the work was good. The price was simply EXORBITANT. The man was polite and he was the one that took care off me at drop off and pick up. The work consisted of hemming two sleeves of a new winter jacket I had purchased for 200$. ASK for a QUOTE!!!! i had not received a quote at drop off. When I arrived to pay (expecting to pay maybe 50$... then he told me $160. I thought I heard $60. But i has misheard , he had said $160. What???? The man then came and said we usually charges $200. I regret not getting the price up front. That is pure rubbery for the work executed. I have posted pictures. GET A QUOTE!!!!!!!!! read more

Simply put, Francisco is the man! I do not have the need for a tailor often but when I do, his shop is the ONLY place I go to. His skill is second to none. I have had sport coats altered, pants hemmed, and zippers replaced among other things and the work is flawless and of top quality. Francisco is very friendly in his approach and interactions, and you can tell he knows what he is doing. He provides feedback and/or recommendations on how to proceed based on the type of material you bring to him. All at a fair price and a fantastic turnaround time. Trust me, take your garments here and let Francisco work his magic. You will not be disappointed! read more

Simply amazing!! Albert saved the day when alterations at David's Bridal gave less than satisfying results for my wedding gown. With less than 2 days until my wedding And a saggy wedding dress Alberts not only snatched my dress to the GODS! But he accomplished these results in 24 hours at a great price. You have earned my business for life, sir. I'm so thankful for your craft.

Once upon a time [begin fairytale music], I ordered a tank top online that I will call "The Dragon". It needed some help. You see, I wasn't expecting it be so big as to expose 85% of my pecs in size Small. That's more man cleavage than I'm willing to accept and it was giving me "the gym douche" vibes that cramp my humble style. So I called the shop, and a Francisco picks up. I told him the straps were too big and the tank top was hanging too low, and he said he could help me with it. So I dropped it off. It was my first time going to a tailor shop by myself so naturally I had alot of questions. He was very patient with me even though I could tell he was busy with other clients' garments, and I appreciate that! We made about 4 adjustments to the "to-be-final-form" before I gave him the okay to proceed. He gave me a quote (a reasonable $15), told me to write my name and phone number and said to come in two days later on Friday to pick it up. When I came to pick up, the tank was exactly how I'd wanted it to fit and the job was beautifully done. It looked as if nothing were done to it, which is the ideal. [end fairytale music, cue slightly ominous music] Eh, the only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because I was bothered by the fact that they didn't call me to notify me that the order was ready. That's what I was expecting when they asked me to write my phone number down. So I waited until Monday when I called in myself and Francisco said it was ready. It could have been ready on Friday like he said, but I was expecting the call out of courtesy. And I had to spend the weekend without "The Dragon" by my side. I won't say I was devastated, but I will say that a blood test would have shown a sustained elevation of cortisol over the weekend. And that's not okay. So I gotta ding you one star. [end slightly ominous music, and cue fairytale music. Can you tell I'm having fun with this?] I'd still highly recommend their services. Francisco did a perfect job. And he gets bonus points from me because I like the name Francisco. For while it is not a name in high quantity, it is very much a name of high quality, akin to his craftsmanship. Just be sure to call to follow up because they may not do it in your case. I no longer feel like "the gym douche" with 85% their pecs showing, and "The Dragon" is healthy as can be, back in my hands and ready to show the world what it's made of (100% micro-polyester). For this dragon is not one to be slayed. It is one to be...worn?? *The end* [end fairytale music here] P.S. Imagine a little birdie (a Robin, perhaps?!) landing on your shoulder and chirping the following words of wisdom: "Cash or Venmo only." read more

I've been going to Francisco for 10+ years and he's been spot-on with his tailoring - everything from custom suits and leather jackets to dress shirts and jeans. His prices are great and the work is always done on-time. He also has a great eye for what tailoring is needed to make the garment fit best on your body, and will even make touch-up adjustments afterwards if you need! read more

Been coming here for years and Francisco does an amazing job with all my dresses. No matter what my requests are, he gets it done.

Came in to get my bag fixed. Very helpful service and they gave me great tips on how to avoid future issues

Fransisco is the bomb. Attention to detail and on point. Knows my body very well...clothes are always right on! He's open to feedback if I'm not satisfied but has a great sense structure and fit! High recommend read more

I've been bringing my clothes to Francisco for years but recently he really helped me out with my wedding dress - 3 weeks before my wedding day! I appreciated that he wanted to help me get to a happier place with the fit, was genuine about how to make it fit better without shortcuts, and meticulous with his work (using measuring tape to make sure everything is right, hand-stitching with care, etc.). His work is quality, and he's open to feedback and fixing it until you're happy with it! Thanks so much, Francisco! read more

I am so glad I went to Albert's! He did such an amazing job on my wedding dress! My dress had 3 layers of fabric and he was able to alter it beautifully.

Updating review: I needed to get something altered in a hurry and (very reluctantly) came here again, thinking I'll give them another chance. 2:15pm on a Tuesday and again, only a woman there that speaks no English and tells me that "the guy" is not there. What a joke!! read more

I don't leave many yelp reviews, but I was so impressed with the service here! Super friendly, fast, responsive, and reasonably priced. Plus did a great job at alterations! I will be returning next time I need something altered. read more

One of the best tailors in the area , responsible and what ever it sounds to be critical he makes it happen, fair prices

I was in a bind.... My costumer friend was unavailable and I had a Hollywood Superhero party costume that needed some major tailoring. The whole thing was made of pleather (it had pipping, designs, the works!) and was swimming on me... and I needed it altered in 5 days... I didn't know what to do. Plus I figured I would be charged an arm and a leg. I started searching in desperation and found Albert's. Thank God. I had a work schedule that was hard to make it in by the time they closed, but they were so awesome in being accommodating! They stayed after close to help me on a few occasions. I think they were excited about the costume as much as I was! They worked very hard with me to make sure it fitted and in a way that I liked and was comfortable. And that's saying a lot because I'm not lying when I say this costume was a hard one to alter! They were sooo fast in doing it too! I'm sold on this place. I might have costumers or wardrobe friends but I'm now coming here for any and all of my altering needs. The only downfall is that they only accept cash or check. But their prices are good! Looks can be deceiving but this place is legit! read more

It's hard to find great tailors in LA. I had a dress that I wanted to wear for a upcoming wedding but I had gain some weight and needed it let out. I did some research and found Albert's Tailoring and thank God I did!!! Francisco is beyond fabulous!!! He was so sweet and professional and did such an amazing job. He really is the best. He also was so accommodating on my quick time frame. I have already recommended him to several friends and taking back other garments for him to fix. I am in an industry that relies on alterations so believe me when I say they are incredible. Highly recommend! read more

It's not the same Albert's anymore. I've been a longtime customer, and over the past 5 years had a couple suits, several pants, and collared shirts altered here by an elderly gentleman who was an absolute professional and clearly cared about his craft. After a two year gap of not needing alterations, I went back recently with 3 pairs of pants and my girlfriend's dress. The dress needed to be tucked in around the sides at the waist, and shortened at the upper back and hem. The pants needed simple shortening. I was initially charged $40 for the dress and $10 each for the pants, but got a ten dollar discount. I specifically asked for careful work to be done on the dress since it was a a nice dress. I went back to pick up the altered pieces. I was a little surprised but the shortened pant legs were unevenly hemmed, with the hem line, which should be straight, appeared to waiver up and down on all three pairs. One leg of one pair was especially noticeable, in part due to the color contrast between the thread and the pant cloth. I pointed this out to the store owner, now no longer the older gentleman, but a younger gentleman, who only implicitly acknowledged my concern, and asked if I only wanted "just this leg" to be readdressed. As we waited for the pants, we noticed the tucked in sides of the dress was not done as one would typically expect. Instead of taking down the sides and tailoring it, there were two unevenly sewn hem lines that narrowed the dress leaving an inch of extra material. We had been charged $40 for two unevenly sewn lines, and shortening of the dress hem. I said to the younger gentleman that I'm happy to pay the agreed on price, however I wanted to point out my disappointment of how the dress was altered. He immediately said to me that if I didn't like it I don't have to pay. I said of course I had to pay but I thought it's important to point out our concerns. He took the full payment. I don't think it's that much to ask that when pants are shortened, the hem lines are straight and not visually uneven. I don't think it's that much to ask that if they can't confidently alter a nicer dress they should decline the job. I don't believe the Albert's I had known would have cared so little about their craft. I hope others are having a better experience than I had. read more

I brought 5 pairs of designer jeans for Albert to tailor and bring back to "fashionable-life." He did an amazing job in tailoring it to my size and look. The price he charged was very competitive. I basically got a whole new wardrobe. I strongly recommend at least stopping by and getting a quote from him. read more

Do not go here! This guys is very Unprofessional and very rude. His workmanship is the worst I've seen. I took several piece of clothing and then I got it back it was Completely ruined. His attitude was very Disgusting. read more

I have tried to pick up my clothes on three separate days during their normal stated hours. The first time the lady inside (who did not speak English) did not know where my clothes were but offered to let me look around for them. The second time she would not let me inside. The third time I was allowed to look around again for my clothes. I tried to phone, but the phone is disconnected. Too bad, they have done good work for me in the past. read more

I only write reviews when a business's service is extremely good or extremely bad. Albert's Alterations is extremely bad. I had 2 dress shirts to be take-in and hemmed, and I was told I could pick them up today at 3pm. I went there at 3pm, and the shirts were yet to be touched. The guy (Albert's co-partner) whom I spoke to told me to come back in an hour and a half and he'll have them ready. I told him I couldn't because I have to be elsewhere, and he then insisted he could finish it in 30 minutes. I said No deal -- since parking and traffic is not too kind in his area. I decided to take the shirts, and as he was handing the shirts to me he asked in a meek tone, "Are you gonna come back?" I was trying to be nice and said, "I'll have to think about it" -- looking back I wish I could've said, "What do you think?" I brought my shirts to another tailor instead that's closer to home and was 5 dollars cheaper. read more

Francisco is the best! He does wonders with clothes and is incredibly reasonable with the pricing. I've taken many things to have altered and hemmed to him. He fixed a leather purse, strap on a dress, replaced a zipper, replaced buttons and is turning a dress into a skirt. The entire staff is great! Parking is available on the street (metered) or in the back. It can get hairy during rush hour. I've never encountered a problem with parking and have gone in the morning, lunch and after work. read more

The team at Albert's Alterations have done a great job on all of my jeans that I have brought in. It is $15 for original hem on jeans, and they can turn it around quick. On some days, they'll even offer to have it done in a few hours. They are great about advising what length to hem it to, even if you don't bring all of the shoes you plan to wear with them. I've been happy with every hem job. There is a small parking lot in the back. read more

I got the running bug and I've dropped two sizes. My dilemma was: buy new clothes or get them altered... The idea of new clothes is fantastic but unless I get nominated on What Not to Wear, i frankly can't afford brand new clothes to fit the new me. Thanks to Yelp, I found Francisco. At a reasonable price he altered my Theory work pants and a few skirts. For my short frame, he made suggestions to elongate my legs and make my waist look tiny. - Heck yeah! I was hesitant because of Theory's cut, was he going to just tuck seems in or shape my pants to its original fit? Did I just make a mistake? I picked up the altered items, he is worth the price. Great tailored fit!! We all know how Theory pants are supposed to fit and, boy, do these pants fit. Thank you Francisco!! read more

The clasp on my sort of pricey bikini top broke. I went to the fabric store on this street (you probably know the one if you know anything about the neighborhood) and they didn't have anything in a similar color or style at all). I bought a sort of ugly white clasp (because, hey, better than no clasp at all) and set out to go find someone to replace the broken one with it. I found Albert's on Yelp and thought it was perfect given how close it was to the fabric store. It ended up being an awesome find indeed! I go in to tell the guy what I want, and he tells me he has a clasp that's more similar to the broken one that he can use instead! Awesome. The work came out great and on time. Was well priced too, would definitely come back for future alterations! read more

Francisco is absolutely the best tailor I know. I took a Zegna suit to him that had been worked on a few times by other tailors, but still didn't feel right. He fixed their mistakes, and made the suit fit as if it were made specifically for me. Besides his excellent work, his customer service is great as well. He works with your schedule, always remembers your name, and is genuinely interested in how you've been since the last time he saw you. The best!! read more

This place is great. Reasonable rates. They've been hemming my pants for a few years now.

I have mixed feelings about Albert's Alterations: The man is so good at what he does, I wanna rent ad banner airplanes to read ALBERT'S ALTERATIONS all along the PCH. And yet, a piece of me wants to keep him a secret from all other Angeleno life (don't worry Albert I'll bring enough business maybe!). Ejemplo: I'm the asshole that has a suit tailored 500 times over. Albert has allowed me six visits (so far) to have one suit tweaked to my obsessive compulsive content. Every single time he is happy - I mean downright joyful - to give the 3 piece another go at no added cost. Above all, Albert and his team make you feel taken care of, like your family. That and they'd tailor a ham sandwich if you said they couldn't. Support this local business - I guarantee you wont be disappointed. read more

I bought a shirt from Express and it was slightly too loose for me so I brought them to Albert's Alterations. Marcellus measured and made it fit perfectly for me. Great people, Awesome service and quick turn around. Highly highly recommend them! read more

Francisco Francisco Francisco - this guy is awesome. It's totally worth the couple more bucks you will spend, TRUST ME. Jeans - look like you bought them hemmed. This guy rocks. He knows his stuff, he knows how to alter clothes - he's a total GEM! I have had dresses hemmed here as well as jeans - seriously, never been happier. If you need it in a rush, Francisco will take care of you. He wont rip you off or try to make it seem like he's doing you some huge favor - he works well and in a timely fashion and I could totally go on for days and days. Don't go to anyone else for alterations. Francisco is where it's at!! read more

Ten stars if I could. Francisco did fantastic work--even rehabbed the poor, rushed tailoring of a quick-fix out of town--on the worn elbow of a fine wool suit. It is better than new. Bonus points for (a) tailoring the opposite elbow to match and (b) finishing the alteration while the wearer was in Texas and unable to accommodate a final fit/approval. We're currently collecting a pile of all overdue tailoring to bring back. So, so happy to have finally found this gem. read more
