I put a nasty tear in my leather jacket and on the advice of a friend who works at La Chateau (they…read moredo all of their leather alterations with D.A.LE instead of Albert Tailor now), I brought it here. The jacket's good as new and he fixed it while I waited (about 10-minutes all told) and charged me a rather reasonable $10.00 for the snappy service.

I got there around 10am, and the fellow that runs the shop wasn't there yet, so I called the number he posted on the door ("If i'm not here, you can reach me at..."). Ten minutes later he was chalking up the pants and let me know I can pick them up in about an hour and half. The quality of work was great, a little bit more than I was expecting to pay, but I was very impressed by the work, and the friendly service. I'll go back. Note: It's on the 7th floor.

I took a dress in couple weeks ago to get the arms shortens and the sides of the waist taken in…read more The lady's name is Julie (emp#334899). She told me the cost is $60 so I paid and left. When I came to pick up the dress (silky material), there were damages (nits and scrapes) all over the dress (front, back, arms, everywhere). Not only that, the alterations were so poorly executed. The arms weren't straight. They were all wonky. The seams don't line up. I honestly can't believe how horrible it is. I told her i was not happy with it and there were damages all over the dress. Her response was, "you said this was a cheap dress, so I gave you cheap discount." Firstly, I never said those words. She was making stuff up to cover up her mistakes. I told her I do not want to come in again. I want a refund for the alterations and my dress. She insisted come in on Tuesday to talk to her manager. And ignored me and went to the next customer. I don't have high hopes to be honest. I will be taking this to customer service. Overall, I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANY EXPENSIVE GARMENTS. The lady that helped me was not professional. She raised her voice, she was defensive, she denied the damages and was absolute ZERO help at all. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I would leave zero stars if i could.

This place has been around for a long time and the staff is good at what they do…read more They are not the cheapest but I find the rates reasonable. The service is good and my clothes are usually ready for pick up earlier than expected. They will send an email when items are ready, so do check your email, otherwise just pop by with the pick-up receipt on the date/time stated. You can also bring the altered item home to try. If it is not done right, bring it back and they will re-work it at no additional charge. That happened to my jeans which was still too long despite the hemming done. The location is also very convenient as it is right in Metrotown and nearer to the skytrain and bus loop area. Parking can be a pain as it is always crowded though.

I have taken two articles of clothing in for repairs recently here and have been very impressed by her work. The first was a pair of Lululemon shorts that I had been quoted $12 elsewhere for a new button and clasp. Yet another shop told me they couldn't do it at all. May quoted me $3-$4 and with a turnaround of a few days, which was perfect for my needs. The work looked great upon pickup! My second article was a button up-shirt that had a similar issue. Again, the work looks great and the price was excellent. Parking is strictly metered in the area, though there are some parking garages in the vicinity as well. A number of buses go by here, and it's only a block or two from Cartem's if that tickles your fancy! I would consider this place to be a hidden gem. The ladies that work here are nice to work with, have a very reasonable turn around and most importantly do excellent work. Highly recommended!

I had a shoe strap that broke, and I wanted to get it replaced with a small piece of white elastic…read more No repair was necessary to the actual shoe; the elastic would be a separate piece, just a small add-on. I went into this store to see if they could help me. The lady saw the shoe in my hand, and before I even got to the counter, said, "we don't do shoes". I started to explain that it wasn't a shoe repair that I wanted, but she repeated, more forcefully, "we don't do shoes". I got a couple more words out when she repeated it a third time, like I was an idiot. At that point I gave up, said "OK", and left. OK, I get it, they don't do shoes. But a bit of courtesy, and maybe even helpfulness, would have been nice. I have lots of normal non-shoe-related repair and alterations work that needs to get done. But I won't be taking it to Stitch-It.

I brought my expensive velvet shirt to have the bottom hemmed, and it was returned back to me with one big hole plus 2 tiny ones on it. I only noticed it when I got back home and immediately phoned them regarding the issue. The owner (short bald Chinese man) was extremely dismissive and refused to take responsibility for their mistake. I should have followed my instinct at first (and leave) when they demanded I pay full in advance and not after picking up my item. Furthermore, on the day I first went to pick up my shirt, they could not find it and was told to come back later, it just shows how irresponsible they are. They are money grabbing people with no ethics in my opinion.

As usual, my Yelp pals set me on the right course by recommending a great place, as I had asked…read morewhere to go for my kid to get a prom dress altered, and many suggested this place. So glad they directed me here! You can tell the lady and man who work here (husband and wife?) have been here forever and they truly know their craft. And they do excellent work that is totally guaranteed. They made it clear to feel free to return if the dress wasn't perfect. I really like that! Perhaps it's a Vancouver thing, but they required that you pay upfront, when you drop off your clothes for tailoring. (In contrast, when I lived in Seattle, there you paid for the services rendered when you pick up your clothes. Not in advance, before). I thought that was weird. (Again, perhaps this is the norm in Van city, I don't know). Also, the prices here are quite high. They do a high quality job, but you're going to pay for it. (As a result, if I didn't have expensive or special clothes for tailoring, I don't know if I'd come here for alterations. Something to keep in mind). Also, we were told that my kid's dress would be ready today. That's the date that was put on our receipt and I put in my calendar. The shop closes at 6pm so my kid and I rushed to get here before closing. We arrived at 5:45pm and the lady said the dress wasn't ready. I noted that they said that today was pick-up day, so the lady requested that we come back in half an hour and it'd be ready then. So my kid and I went for dinner (what a cute area this is!) and returned and, whew! The dress was ready. I felt bad that they had to stay later but, hey, it was their error. So, my advice is, prior to rushing here to pick up any item that was tailored, I'd recommend calling first to make sure it is, indeed, ready.
