This is the best shop in town. I have taken my clothing here for over 30 years and have never been disappointed, not even one time. Bang (this is his first name) has done everything perfectly. He and his wife moved to the US in 1974. read more

Had several jackets tailored and they were perfect. This place does amazing work. When you want or done right, this is the place. They are very detailed, courteous and professional. read more

This fun husband and wife duo provide excellent tailor services! The store is in a nondescript brick building right next to Keystone Sports Review at 56th St and Keystone Ave. Most recently I asked them to stitch closed some back welt pockets on work pants I purchased (bad design but I loved the pants)! They did a great job sewing them them closed, but in a very finished way. I've also had them fix the hems in other pants, repair a suit jacket and even hem a shower curtain for me! The small store they work from even has a dressing room, in the event you need to try on your item for alterations. Their prices are more than reasonable and I've never been dissatisfied with any project they've completed for me. I've also not had an issue with items being ready at the time they were promised (generally within a week or less). Highly recommend this family-owned business! read more

Great job repairing stitching on pants and reasonable cost. Friendly and fast service.

Bangh is from Vietnam. Lam Son is just the name of the business. Bangh & his wife bought the business and kept the name. He is a master tailor. His skills are honed over a lifetime. He's my age! (71). I have used his skills for all manner of alterations: letting out suit pants, hemming pants, installing zippers, he can do anything. Lately, I've been using his skills - cash-only - for my quirky patching hobby. Some of the patch application is quite complex. For instance, a patch-on-patch on a back pocket of Levi's requires the temporary disconnection of the pocket, sewing the patches and then re-attaching the pocket. I blend patches (patch-on-patch) and these cost a buck or two more than just sewing on a flat patch. Taking in a denim jacket with 17 patches pinned in place this Monday. Eager to get it in and get an estimate. read more

I had my Halloween costume bell bottoms hemmed and it was done less than a week for a fair price! Can't wait for Halloween.

Very kind people and they do their best to accommodate rush jobs. Ive been going to them for twenty years.

Our 'go to' fixer for 35 years! A Pro at knowing exactly what needs to be done & how to do it!

Pretty much a tiny room that is the entire shop. The owner is very friendly. They did a great job on hemming my jeans, you cant even tell they were altered. And the price was reasonable, $10. I'll definitely bring back anything else that needs to be altered. If you don't have measurements for your alterations there is a changing room there. Definitely support this small local business! read more

Great Tailor. I use them often. Initially told me they just do men's suits and clothing but since then they've hemmed a bridal dress with 4 to 5 layers, custom altered several outfits to fit my frame and even fixed a pair of Timberland boots. Definitely my go to tailor... read more

They may be the best tailor in the city. The shop is very small, but the owner and his wife are extremely nice, and they do great work. Further, the prices are very reasonable. I don't trust anyone else with my alterations. read more

This guy is the best in town. I have taken anything from uniform dresses to coats to pants, he always does them perfectly and gets them done when you need them. Happy and personable service. P. S. He is always beyond appreciative when you add a tip, even just a couple of dollars. Cash only read more

I have been going here for years and they do such good work as I don't sew at all. Sometimes my items were not ready on promised day so I always call first. They are friendly and hard workers. read more

Just awesome. All my slacks for work must be taken up a few inches. Honestly , if I had the time I could do it myself. Once a year a buy a bulk shipment and take them in and get them them hemmed. They are always warm and welcoming. I love that I can spend good money in a shop in my neighborhood . read more

If you're trying to stretch your wardrobe after dropping a size or two, this is the place to go. Had four pairs of pants altered to take in the waist and rear. All four fit much better, so instead of dropping $300 or so, I'm able to stretch my existing pants for the foreseeable future. The price is right and the work is done well and on time. I'll be back. Just remember, it's CASH ONLY! read more

Lam is the best tailor this side of the Mississippi. Just ask him. Perfect work, great prices and he grows Chinese Viagra in front of his simple store. I trust him with my most expensive suites or fixing rips in my jeans. Give Lam Son a try and you'll never be without a stitch in time... read more

This is a hole-in-the-wall tailor who provides a phenomenal service. These are simply wonderful people that go the extra mile for their clients for a very reasonable price. For example, it was $48 to hem a pair of pants, extend the waist length on a pair of pants, fix two buttons that had fallen off on a shirt, and downsize two shirts around the torso and arms. This would have cost over $100 at the last tailor I went to. As an anecdote for their kindness, the women working chased me down in the parking lot as I was getting into my car to remind me that they only accept cash and she didn't want me to avoid taking two trips. I was enamored by the quality of people that run this place and cannot speak more highly about their service. read more

This husband and wife do are the best! The prices are great and the workmanship is impeccable! When you enter the shop you're always greeted with a smile. I've been going to them since 2001, and I've never been disappointed. There have been 2 occasions where I've tried other tailors, only to receive my clothing ruined! Lesson learned! They are the best in town. Thanks guys! read more

What you won't get here is a fancy tailors store or displays of their work. But what you will get is tailoring at a very fair price, done right! A few dollars spent here is better than throwing that favorite clothing article away! I've found my first and last tailor in Indianapolis! I was impressed! read more

I've been coming here for years. The best! Great service, very affordable. I have no reason to go anywhere else in town. Highly recommend anyone in town to go. read more

Visited today with a pair of jeans. The tailor determined they only needed shortened by one inch. He recommended to take them home and wash and then dry them in a hot dryer twice. He said "Why spend money when you don't have to?". Now that's excellent customer service to me. It seems he is more interested in developing a good customer relationship than in making a quick buck. He has done excellent hemming for me in the past. read more

Took my new work shirt here to get tailored as mine was much too baggy, torso and sleeves. I brought my shirt in Monday around 4:30, as you can probably guess they were busier than normal, so I stood in a small line for maybe 10 minutes tops, they were speedy and very friendly not only to me but everyone in there. They're very efficient only being husband and wife, organized and definitely experienced to say the least. I couldn't be more pleased with my shirt, I've gotten MULTIPLE compliments today at work and I do mean multiple. I've actually encouraged three or four of my co-workers to bring their shirts here as well. Oh and I forgot to mention, the price is unbeatable. For the quality and customer service you're getting, the price is way more than reasonable. I give it a thumbs up and 5 stars all day long. I will most definitely be returning. read more

Mr Lam Son is an extremely good tailor, I have had all my suits and coats tailored here, and re-tailored after a some weight loss. Very reasonable with pricing, even charged me less for the suits that had to be re-tailored because quote "I've already made some money on this suit". Good tailor, even better man. I have witnessed him turning down payment from a regular (guessing from the way they interacted) for an emergency repair. My advice to anyone who wants suits (or anything else) altered here is to make sure you let him know how you want it fitted. If you prefer a modern slimmer fit, then you need to tell him, because this man will not force an alteration on you unless it is really necessary. His motto, is "I'm just trying to save you some money". I obviously can't speak of his work on women's clothing, I do see female customers in there, and judging by the work he does on my clothes, I'm sure he is more than capable. read more

I took my bridesmaid dress to Lam Son to be altered. Although he mentioned he can't do much more than shorten dresses, he did a great job! I got the dress back within a week and he didn't charge a crazy amount of money. He was very nice and personable! Would absolutely recommend Lam Son! read more

I have been going to Lam Son almost my entire life, and I haven't been able to find a better tailor in Indianapolis or in Chicago, where I live now. I still bring many of my suits back to Indianapolis when I visit family to get them altered. This tailor is a true gem. read more

Excellent! Excellent!! I happily drive 10 miles and pass many alterations shops to get there because Lam Son always does superb tailoring at such reasonable prices.
