I messaged another tailor in my area through Yelp but unfortunately did not get a reply back. That tailor took cash only. As luck would have it I found Jabbar on Yelp and he takes most forms of payment. On top of his friendly demeanor and his years of experience as a tailor, he was able to take out a few inches off some dress pants I have. He must be that good because he asked a simple question of do the pants still button close. On that one question he knew to take out a few inches. When I got them back a day later, they fit perfectly. He let me try them on in one of his dressing rooms. I am definitely using Jabbar for any future tailoring needs. The one day turn around was very nice. He also has a very nice clean shop. read more

Excellent tailor! You can tell that jabbar has been tailoring for decades. He was fast, efficient and inexpensive. He did my 2 boys suits, he barely measured just did a couple of swipes with the chalk and asked when I would pick it up. I think he probably would have done it right then but we were ere in no hurry. He has a range of suits and tuxedos in the shop. He also had a bunch of catalogs he said alterations were free with an order. We picked up a week later and they were perfect. Highly recommend. read more

Jabbar, I don't even know where to begin or how to thank you. Weddings are stressful enough as it is and my husband to be could not find a suit. Lo and behold, we stumbled upon your business and you took all of that stress away. You're not only outfitted my husband, but you outfitted his best man as well. They both looked wonderful and received so many compliments that whole night!! we passed your business name many times throughout the evening and hope you receive lots of business and many blessings coming your way read more

Jabbar is very experienced and knows what works for your body type. I walked in and he took a few measurements. After alterations were done, they fit just right read more

Quick and quality work for a good price. Excellent customer service. More than just tailoring or selling suits, Jabbar fixed my jersey!

Please note, the address (749 S Mollison El Cajon, CA 92020) as of 10/10/23 is not correct. You'll need to call the number listed on Yelp for the correct address. Okay, enough about directions and phone numbers, on to the tailoring. Jabbar is the s#it! Working out of his garage you may get a bit gun shy of having him work on your garments but trust me, do it. I had a few suit that did not fit well after I lost a few pounds so I decided to take them to Jabbar to tighten them up a bit instead of buying a new suit. The man works fast, he does quality work, and I finally have a suit that I love. You see, I've never thought I looked good in a suit but I do now, thanks to Jabbar! read more

Jabbar is AMAZING. I bought a dress last minute for a holiday party and he tailored it to for me, not only the hem but he also fixed the long sleeves to fit me, I'm short and didn't think I could pull off the silhouette of the dress but he made it happen! I can't recommend him enough! he's truly the BEST!!!! read more

After reading the reviews about Jabbar and speaking to him I expected great quality, but was EXTREMELY disappointed. His pricing is high, no detailed pricing available, no detailed receipt of the tailoring, and his attitude when questioning his tailoring ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!! I've been to many tailors and Jabbar's work is the absolute worst! I asked him to fix my suit jackets that he destroyed and all Jabbar tells me is that my jackets look fine and I don't understand tailoring. My suits are ruined thanks to Jabbar, and I would advise anyone to stay away! read more

Love it!!! Last minute alterations to the rescue!!!! Bough my dress on Saturday didn't want to go through the hassle of having it tailored also cause I know they take a few days didn't know I would have it on time Google a few places Jabbar answered and said bring it in I'll have it ready an 1 hour " whatttt!!!!!" Jabbar to the rescue!!! Took it in today my party is tomorrow!! read more

I would highly recommend him because he listened to what I wanted and executed seamlessly. read more

This man definitely knows what he is doing, let me start off by saying that. I had received 3 slacks, 3 blazers, and 3 shirts for my new job position. When I purchased the items from the uniform store, they decided they knew better than I did even though I told the gentlemen that the pants were too long. Sure enough the pants were dragging when I wore them at work and they were extremely baggy. The uniform store "tailored" the pants in terms of length but were still too long. They did not want to adjust the width of the pants. I found Mr. Jabbar on google and decided to try him out because of the reviews he had. I gave him a call and he had me come in right away. He took my pants and told me to come back in 2 hours. Fast forward to two hours later, the pants were finished and they fit PERFECT. They looked as if they were custom made pants just for me. I am a plus size male and the pants had a very baggy look before and were too long. He made them JUST for me. He did some quality work and he has earned the reputation he has online. Do not hesitate to have him tailor your clothing, he knows what he's doing. read more

I've used Jabbar two times already. My first time I was definitely needing a whole suit tailored and one day because of my lack of Readiness and being prepared.

This guy is amazingly friendly and his work is incredible. read more

I needed to get some pants tailored for my son, who was visiting home for the weekend. I had read really great reviews for Jabbar on google and thought I'd give it a try. We drove out on a Sunday (Not too many places are open on Sunday); and even though we didn't have an appt, he was very accommodating and it was a painless process to arrange for the alterations. I do recommend calling first just to confirm he's available especially on the weekend. We got the pants back a few days later and it fit my son perfectly. Professional, personal and affordable.

I googled "taylors near me". The name 'Jabbar the Taylor' just stood out to me, so I gave him the shot. I was in need of having a pair of tux pants hemmed for an upcoming wedding. The pant's must have also been a little baggy in the backside, in his opinion because he asked if I would like him to take them in a bit back there as well. Boom, Boom with a fabric marker and they were ready the next day. WHAT? This man has been doing this for a long time, and it shows in his work. He nailed it. My wife patted my "back there" and said something to the effect of....."oooh....much better." Gotta like that. What a find! read more

Jabbar the Tailor - The two suits that were tailored & Bagged up ready to go :) - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - national city, California

As I was getting ready for a trip, I needed some new dress pants. Once the pants arrived from an online Macy's purchase, I looked for a tailor to shorten the pants. I called Jabbar on a Saturday and he told me to drop them off that afternoon and he would have them ready ASAP, but definitely before I would need these for my trip. Well, the next day on Sunday, I was able to pick up my expertly tailored pants and they fit perfectly. So, I have dropped off two more pair and will order a suit from Jabbar upon my return home. His work is exceptional and his customer service matches his tailoring.
