    Thank you

    Where do we begin..... 5 stars! I am a roofing contractor who recently got shirts , hats and shirts from Susan Kay's and I am very very pleased/ grateful I got referred to the right place.

    The lining is left untouched, as per my request.

    I purchased a used jacket online that arrived with torn, embroidered details. I called several shops in San Jose to see if they would restore the jacket, and after I sent them pictures of the embroidery, I was immediately turned down because a shop would not offer repair services, or because the damage was considered too difficult to fix. Losing hope to get the jacket restored, I was recommended to speak with Lenny, the head of the shop at Apparel by Susan Kay's. Not only did Lenny offer repair services, he was confident that the repairs would be done "the right way". I brought the jacket down to Lenny in person, where I instructed him that I wanted to have this repair done in such a way that would leave the satin lining of the jacket untouched. He reassured me that this was possible, and gave me a week deadline for the jacket to be fixed. Lenny followed through with his deadline, and considering the 'before' state, I was extremely happy with the results. The repair makes the jacket as a whole look nearly new. Sure enough, the lining was left untouched as I requested. On top of the quality work, I was charged with (in my opinion) a reasonable invoice of $56--a fair price considering the labor, special instructions, and turnaround time. If you need any embroidery jobs or repairs done the right way, Lenny is your guy. His work speaks for itself.

    After calling countless places to get someone to embroider a cape I ended up being referred to Custom Apparel by Susan Kay's! This place is on San Carlos right off the 87and close to the 280 and street parking out front. The steel doors makes you unsure if this place is welcoming the public haha. I was given a team cape and I wanted to embroider it. I wanted it to be simple, pretty, and not over the top expensive. This place fit exactly that. I called and spoke to Lenny and asked if they would work with it and he was so nice about it. He asked me type of fabric it was, what color, what I wanted to put on it and I was able to get an approximate quote. I liked how he quoted 20 bucks and it ended up being 18! That's always the appropriate thing to do to quote higher and be cheaper in person! I turned it in Monday evening and got it Wednesday! A quick turnaround. I would definitely recommend this place if you need from one item to hundreds of items to customized, personalize- screen print or embroider. I can't wait to show my cape to my teammates!

    The team at Susan Kay do a phenomenal job with any embroidery you may need. I highly recommend them for any need you might have. Hats, jackets, sweaters, shirts, pants they do it all!!

    I'm one satisfied customer! I had Lenny and his team embroider my company logo on about a dozen shirts that I brought in myself. He had no problem working with my selected shirts, and that meant a lot to me. I have not liked the material/style of shirts from Zazzle and other companies I have used in the past so this time around, I wanted to go to a department store with a huge selection of nice, name brand products, try on and buy what I liked, and then have a local company do my embroidering. And that's just what Susan Kay's provided. The price was lower than expected, the work on time as promised, and the customer service remarkable. Thanks guys for my great, first-class work wardrobe! I'll be coming back for more.

    Thank you Lenny!  Awesome job and the two tone embroidery colors are great!   Keith Nofield, Professional Land Surveying - "KNPLS"

    I had a couple of small runs to produce & Lenny said "there are no small jobs" and banged out what I needed.

    I was recommended Cam by a friend who had previously used his embroidery services, and I was really…read moreimpressed with the quality of his work. When it came time to order graduation stoles, I knew exactly who to go to. I needed 12 graduation stoles embroidered, each with different wording. Although his shop is small and tucked away off the side of the road, don't let that fool you. Cam is incredibly genuine, detail-oriented, and takes pride in his work. He asked plenty of questions to make sure he fully understood what I wanted and even created a quick mock-up when I dropped off the stoles so we could visualize the final product. During the embroidery process, he also called to confirm the wording and placement one last time to ensure everything came out exactly as I envisioned. His turnaround time was quick, and he called as soon as everything was ready for pickup. I would recommend bringing your stoles to him as early as possible during graduation season since he has many orders to complete. I paid half upfront when dropping off the stoles and the remaining balance when I picked them up. The embroidery only costed me between $12-20 per stole depending on what was embroidered. The embroidery itself was excellent. The stitching was clean, professional, and didn't warp or distort the fabric at all. Even the backing was trimmed neatly, so it wasn't uncomfortable to wear. Overall, I highly recommend Cam's embroidery services, especially for graduation stoles. He's located just a couple of miles from the SJSU campus, making him a convenient option for students looking for high-quality custom stoles at about a fraction of the price of what the university charges.

    I went to Cam who is very nice and overall a sweet person. I came in and got my white scrub top…read moreembroidered with my school logo. He was extremely fast and efficient. He even called me to let me know when my items were ready for pick up. This is truly a place to get anything embroidered done for a really affordable price.
