A bad experience at another tailor forced me to look for another. The Yelp deal was a huge incentive to try this place. The staff is incredibly nice, friendly and outgoing. I was ready to give them 5 stars right then and there. But I waited to see the work they did. I was not disappointed. They shortened some cuffed pants for me. I'm quite satisfied with the job they did. I'll definitely return. read more

I flew into California for my best friends wedding and needed a suit asap! Anatoly's was highly recommended to me so I went there right away. Tony and Kirill took really good care of me! Kirill helped me pick out a suite I wouldn't normally have chosen because it has more color and design then I'm used to but man am I glad he did. Its now one of my favorite suits! They did a really nice job tailoring the shirt we picked out. They even had a perfect belt to match my pair of light brown dress shoes, the only dress shoes I brought on the trip. I looked great! I'm incredibly grateful your help! Thank you very much! read more

Loved getting an off the rack suit for a friend's wedding. I'm a small framed woman, but I love wearing suits. I've made some Banana Republic women's suits more masculine looking and pulled it off, I've tailored boy's jackets, and also had custom suits made -- this was by far my best experience. And I know they can do an even better job if I gave them more than 3 days notice. They were seriously awesome. Loved Kay, the front of the house sales and measure, and Anatoly himself is an absolute master. Together they got the right suit, sized it, measured it, and threw in a cool bow tie. I loved love loved it! Can't wait to wear it and knock it out of the park today. I will definitely be back! read more

I came a couple months before my elopement in July looking for a special suit that wouldn't break the bank. K was straightforward in what options were available within lead-time along with pricing. K was also up front about what accessories they have and where I could go to find alternatives if I wanted to. After ordering my suit, K had no qualms supporting multiple alterations to make the suit feel perfect. A zero-pressure environment + being reassured along the way made it the best suit shopping experience. I'll definitely be coming back here for all my future suits! read more

Anatoly's has this great family run store feeling that makes me so happy to shop here knowing I am supporting the local community (that sounded very Bay Area). I came here looking for a suit for a business function that would also be a timeless piece. I did make a reservation before coming here on a Friday night, but really, I am unsure if you really need a reservation. SUIT: A navy blue suit. Upon asking Anatoly for this type of suit, several options were presented to me. I found myself in awe for how much I liked these suits. As you can tell, they buy these pieces that are unique, but super tasteful. I never felt rushed, but I knew that I already fell in love with the second suit. With proper measurements (measure twice, cut once!) and adjustments, I was able to get this suit that fitted like a glove. The price on the suit was very reasonable for a family run store. Sure, it's not going to be one of those large chain stores, but the price that you see does come with the alteration and I got a tie/hanky too. With the inclusion of tailoring, the suit comes out to be a reasonable price and Anatoly's works with you to find you a suit within your price range. I had a business trip after getting this suit, so Anatoly's worked with me to getting my suit done before my trip. The service was above and beyond. I felt like a million bucks wearing the suit and at the business function got lots of compliments. Come to here to support local Bay Area businesses, look like a million bucks without spending that much, and have a timeless suit. read more

Great tailoring in the East Bay. Took his time and got everything I wanted. Took in the waist of the suit jacket and the regular stuff. He's a great guy and was extremely helpful. read more

Tony is fantastic to work with! He is very personable and goes out of his way to be available for you when you need something. This is not to mention how inexpensive his suits are! I wanted a suit for me as well as one for all of my groomsman for my wedding, and I needed them at a good price. Tuxes are so ordinary! Tony has been a joy to work with and I would recommend him to other friends getting married as well as go to him in the future for any suits I might need myself. Just do take the time and visit him...you won't regret it. read more

Anatoly's is the absolute best and is now my go-to spot for anything formal wear-related. Anatoly and his son K are experts in everything from suit/tie/dress shirt design to tailoring. They serve their clients with the utmost respect, class, and honesty. I used to buy overpriced suits in the $1-2k+ range from Bloomingdale's but the suits and dress shirts Anatoly's uses are far superior in quality and their prices are fair. Their fabrics and materials are high quality, and they are good people you can trust. I won't be going anywhere else anytime soon. read more

They are the absolute best tailors in Oakland. Great for suit and dress alterations FULL STOP.

VERY friendly and helpful!! Came 3 times and each time was consistently pleasant. I surprised my gf with an early bday gift and took her in to have a suit tailored. They didn't judge or turn us away (another place flat-out told me on the phone that they only do men). They helped to pick out an entire outfit for our upcoming Vegas trip. Color coordinated the shirts and ties and it looks great! Had to come back to get the shirts altered at no cost which wasn't an issue to us. Very good business. Would definitely come back. read more

Anatoly did a great job on my pants. I brought in three pair & they all turned out great! Places I've gone before have cut them too short but this was perfect. He even hemmed a pair of 1970s bell bottoms and added extra reinforcement on all the stitching! Definitely check this place out! read more

These guys are awesome. Took my wedding dress in there and they did a fantastic job. Very professional and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend! read more

Had a bunch of pants hemmed a few months ago. The work was done well and quickly, but ended up being about $12 per pair. Seemed a little high, but I don't have a lot of comparative cost data to prove it. Good customer service, would use them again. read more

I'm not sure why no one recommended this place to me. The service was very friendly. I needed major alterations done on a suit jacket. They understood exactly what I needed done and it was done in a timely manner. (Also- parking was easy enough and I didn't have to wait to get someone's attention.) read more

I dropped off a suit to be tailored for a work trip. The time line was tight but Anatoly's took amazing care of me and gave me great advice about how I can get my suit tailored to better fit me. They came through just in time and my suit looks so much better than when I bought it. read more

Anatoly's does a great job. Having clothes that fit is a real luxury! I highly recommend Anatoly's

Awesome place! They did a great job on my suits and finished way faster than scheduled. Recommend 100%!

Anatoly and his team run a fantastic suit business in the East Bay. Even though there are many companies offering tailored suits and shirts over the Internet, I still come back to Anatoly's for my suits. Not only does Anatoly help with measurements and ensure the suit fits you great, he has a great selection of fine handmade Italian wares. Back in 2012 when I was a broke graduate student at UC Berkeley, I decided to buy myself a good suit for some upcoming presentations and, potentially, meetings with VCs and investors. I was doing a lot of press interviews and presentations for a hardware startup I had co-founded, so I figured I needed a good suit. Anatoly's had the best reviews, so I went in. It was my first suit, and Anatoly showed me a lot of different options and we honed in on a really great Italian one by Prive. I knew it wouldn't be cheap. It cost me a whole month's rent to buy the suit (and for a broke college student, this was a lot of money), but I knew it would be worth it. Since then, I've worn the suit a bunch. I wore the suit (and another suit I bought from them a year later) to investor meetings, job interviews, and more. My jobs involved customer meetings and sales --I've closed 5-figure deals with customers while wearing the suit, won presentation awards, and more. I've also worn these suits to galas around San Francisco and gotten compliments on my fashion sense. They're great! I just bought a new suit from Anatoly's this week, and they helped find some pants to match the prior suits I've bought from them (I had torn a hole in one of them). It's well worth the money, and I highly recommend Anatoly's! read more

This is THE place for all of your sartorial needs. They have way more interesting stuff than the boring department stores and they can tailor it to your body right in the store. Plus they are all super friendly. I highly recommend this business. read more

They did an excellent job tailoring a suit. The rather extensive alterations were professionally done and completed on-time. You will need to call for an appointment, as they have implemented thorough, and much appreciated, Covid protocols. Anatoly's is highly recommended. read more

"Total pros and super accommodating. Saved me with an emergency alteration for a friend's wedding on very short notice. Price was fair and it was clear that both Anatoly himself, and K, who ran point on assisting me, know their craft inside and out and take great pride in their work. Excellent establishment!" read more

Great customer service. The material on my customized tailor suit was amazing. This place took care of me and the price was very reasonable. Couldn't ask for a better deal! It was quick and stress free. They will take care of your every needs. I had additional pockets added into other uniforms and suits for work and it was flawless. If you're looking for a quality customized suit for a great price, check this place out. The customer service is great and quick as well! read more

Anatoly's has lots of options for suits and dress wear with personality: colors, textures, cuts, and cloth that you won't find in the chain stores. The staff was extremely helpful in finding the right combination of items to complement my individual look, and I felt like I could trust their style suggestions (and that they were more interested in making me look good than in making a sale). Kirill especially was helpful in making sure the suit fit, and that I had accessories to complement it. Overall, a great experience. I'm glad to have tried the store. Prices are similar to what I've seen at other stores for quality dress goods. read more

I couldn't be happier with the service. I met Kirill while I was shopping for suits for my groomsmen and myself. We went through a bunch of options- never felt rushed and walked away with my favorite suit. I had people on the East Coast and Kirill helped have them sized remotely and covered shipping to their house to have an East Coast tailor finish the suits. The amount of effort Kirill and his team went through to make sure we all looked our best was more than I anticipated. I had my suit tailored quickly and they played Project Manager with the rest of the groomsmen to make sure everyone was taken care off. They also worked with a price point and I know I got an unbelievable deal and feel very good. This is a small shop and can do whatever you need. I have gotten shirts tailored since then and they have my business. Highly recommended. read more

I absolutely loved my experience at Anatoly's. First of, they're local, family-owned and really know their trade. Most formal/bespoke stores have salespeople you talk to. You rarely ever talk to the person actually making your suit. At Anatoly's they do it right there in the store. You talk to the actual person making your suit. Went in there for a wedding suit. I got the Italian Blue. They have an exhaustive collection and they help you navigate all the styles. What I loved was the individual attention I got. Most places I had visited tried pushing a certain type of suit (baggy) on me which simply doesn't suit my body frame. K was the one who actually understood my concerns and really worked with me on every tiny detail to make sure the suit fit perfectly (I prefer a European cut as opposed to an American cut). Despite the pandemic they really delivered outstanding service. We had three separate appointments to make sure the suit fit perfectly. All the appointments are set online and it's a very intuitive system. K really went the extra mile to make sure I got what I wanted. They also had discounts available for grooms and even helped get a French cuff shirt altered. 100% recommend them and I'll definitely visit in the future to get stuff altered. If you're looking for suits, alterations or anything else, look no further! read more

Anatoly's - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Oakland, California

Anatoly's is the best place I've come across in the bay area when it comes to suits and tailoring. This is a wonderful family owned business, and everyone who I've worked with so far at the store has been very helpful and professional. I initially came to the store when I needed a suit tailored for my rehearsal dinner. I'm short and barrel chested with long arms and short legs...nothing ever fits me right. And yet, Anatoly and his team took my mediocre CK off the rack suit from Men's Warehouse and made it look beautiful on me. I got multiple compliments on how good it looked at my rehearsal dinner, and it was the most comfortable I ever felt moving around in a suit. I was so pleased with their work, that I've begun the process of creating my first bespoke suit with them. I'm very excited to see how it comes out. My only complaint is that their stuff is so good, I keep buying something every time I go in. Moreover, I'm more eager to go shopping for nice clothes now that I know I can get things tailored to fit me so well. So now I'm broke! These guys really take the time to get to know your body shape and how you move. It's really a special experience working with such high level tailors. Whether you need alterations done, or are looking for a great new suit/sportcoat/pants, do yourself a favor and visit this shop. read more

My dad and I have been going here for years! The service is amazing and the prices are more than fair. We bring all our clothing and watches here. Kay and his dad Anatoly always make sure to take care of you! We will be life long customers. read more

I was going to a steampunk ball one evening and didn't have a suit to match the occasion. I stumbled onto this place completely randomly and so glad I did. I got great service and the guys had a lot of fun dressing me up for the occasion. I walked away from the place with an awesome outfit, but more importantly with the knowledge that clothes shopping does not have to be a terrible experience and could be fun. I'm buying all my suits here! read more

Anatoly is excellent at what he does. I'd recommend him and plan to make this my go to service.

It's easy to miss this place driving through, and its a small place, but Anatoly's made suit shopping easy and more interactive, with a ton of options. My groom suit came out fantastic, he is very attentive and meticulous on the tailoring details. The suit was a little higher in price than I wanted it (we all want to pay less amirite?) than i expected, but the customer service and feeling I got when I put on my finished and amazing suit gave me much more value than shopping at mens warehouse or other suit store chains. A big plus is their appointment app, which is extremely convenient. He also kept me in the loop and was very honest with me during the whole process and I feel at home whenever I'm there. Will come back here for another, well made suit. read more

Outstanding professional tailors and purveyors of fine fabrics. Do not be fooled into believing that this is only a men's shop. I had two wonderful jackets that I have loved for years duplicated in much finer fabrics by these gentlemen and I am delighted with the outcome. read more

Tony is truly a wonderful tailor. I had the great fortune of getting a recommendation from another associate who has been going to him for years. I had eight pants shortened and tighten to my specs and a pair of jeans that needed a little bit of "love". All I can say is that I've never felt more comfortable wearing my clothing because it fits perfectly every time. Their prices are also reasonable and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. They are truly an asset to the community they serve, and I look forward to coming back again shortly. read more

Only guy who could figure out how to alter the shoulders and upper back and neck to fit my frame. Very consistently effective and great group of guys. read more

I recently had a custom-made suit tailored to me--and I am 5' 3", a mini-butch action figure. Anatoly's gives every person the time and attention they deserve when making this investment, with excellent advice on patterns, matching shirts, ties, etc. They will tailor until it fits in the most flattering way. Sure, you should give your money to businesses that cater to queer (and cost a lot more)--or go someplace that caters to you as an individual. read more

Excellent service and men's clothing and personal care items. Love the clock shoppe. The service I've received there for battery replacement was heavenly. They are part of the local Piedmont network and underground care for all living things. Great socks and men's jackets and suits. Thanks for your business and help in meeting my retail and service needs. Thanks again. read more

Amazing store with great people. They have a broad range of in stock men's clothes as well as many custom options for shirts, jeans, suits and more. The tailoring is top notch as well! read more

There is a reason these guys receive a 5 star rating by over 98% of the public they serve. Since I make my living by being in the public eye, I depend on my clothes to look there best. And when buying them off the rack, regardless of the cost or quality, clothes in general are cut for the masses. Enter Anatoly's stage left. I recently needed some alterations made to several pair of dress pants that were no longer fitting correctly because of weight I had lost while training for a triathlon. I really just expected to have the inseam altered slightly and maybe the waist adjusted a little, but these guys weren't going to have anything to do with mediocre. Over the next several days, what I received was a complete customization of my pants. They practically took them apart and rebuilt them specifically to fit me. Now I have 6 pair of custom fit dress pants that look as if I was poured in them they fit so well. The only problem I have now is the separation anxiety of knowing I will probably never encounter such professionalism and skill when working with other tailors in the future. I guess I will be flying back to Oakland when needing to update my wardrobe. Thanks guys!!! read more

I believe it must've been the lucky penny I picked up beforehand, although the penny actually belonged to either me or my wife because it was on the kitchen floor. Maybe Anatoly's was the lucky penny, because after he invited me and my soaked dog into his store and fixed my dead-stock dungarees on-site, he only charged me a fiver... and the rest of the day was dead on fantastic! Especially the rain. read more

Long overdue review, as I had a Patagonia coat tailored here over a year ago and it was a bad experience. I've had clothes tailored and custom made before, but this was my worst experience. I assume others have had good experiences or he wouldn't have 4+ stars. But not me. Long story short, the coat was fitted way too small. He tried to fix it, while placing the blame on me for not knowing how to judge custom fit. Insulting. Even after the second attempt, the sleeves are still too short and too narrow. I can barely fit a thin button down under the coat sleeves (too narrow) and I have to keep pulling down the sleeves to cover my shirt cuffs (too short). Maybe he just does suits well, and not coats. Unfortunately I'm reminded of their shabby work every time I try to wear it. Argh. read more

Great service and unique selection. It really is the best place to go to get suits tailored.
