I have been going to WG Tailor for 5 years now, following them to this location not far from their previous on Maple. They are my go-to for all tailoring, including of high-end garments requiring a more custom fit, and I consistently refer friends and colleagues who are looking for a good tailor. The reasons being: High quality work, very fair (in my opinion; $20 for pant hem [August 2022]) price points, and great customer service! In my experience, turnaround is less than 2-weeks. Their new location is tucked behind a car detail, so you might miss it. Be sure to drive slowly and use your navigation. They are open only on weekdays, so make time in your schedule. You won't regret it!

I have spent the last 3 and a half years searching throughout Ann Arbor and metro Detroit for a…read moregood tailor. That search is finally over. Before moving back to the midwest, my local tailor was a man who trained in Milan and spent 50 years in the business. He was perhaps best known for making John Kerry's bespoke suits (and if you've ever seen photos of John Kerry, you know those suits fit his body wonderfully). Getting clothes tailored from him was like a high--and I've been chasing that high all over the region for the last few years. So after being dissatisfied at 4 other tailors in the area, I gave Ojen a shot. I had somehow gotten my hands on an obscenely nice (and expensive) coat, and needed a few nips and tucks here and there. Nothing was necessarily complicated, but the unique construction of the coat meant it needed a gentle hand, particularly around the sleeve buttons, to avoid scarring. The coat of course turned out perfect (hence the rating), but a few other aspects of the experience are notable. Ojen and her co-worker explained every decision to me and walked through exactly what they would do to the coat. They communicated great via text, and also had me try on the coat a couple times throughout the process to make sure the fit was exactly right. They also under-promised and over-delivered on the timeline. While it was not cheap, it was certainly comparable to the other highly-rated tailors in the region. In my experience, Ojen is the best in Ann Arbor, and certainly worth a visit.

This is a lot of work for Safi, the tailor. The alterations were finished on time as he promised and even dry-cleaned. Safi is one of the most gentle, personable, sweet, and honest people I have met. He even treated me to Lebanese cookies that his lovely wife had baked. He is an excellent communicator and the prices are very reasonable. This business is a gem and I will refer all my family and friends from now on to Safi.

One is a vintage wool car coat (shorter than the usual length of a coat) from Eileen Fisher, something I bought about 35 years ago. Another is a dark dark purpleish 3/4 length coat, with great sentimental value. So I was hesitant to turn these over and take a chance. However, I can say without reservation that Elite Cleaners II did an excellent job! The colors look more vibrant, esp. the Eileen Fisher coat, which is a dark teal. And that they use a "wet" method and not chemicals was a plus. The items were ready one week later. Yes, you can expect to pay more for their service, although I don't know if the $53.00 for two coats would be standard or not. At any rate, to my mind, it was well worth it. Now my coats are ready for the next winter in Ann Arbor!

Received a call on FRIDAY, told they could not hem them at all.

We could have taken them somewhere else to be altered in that time frame. Frustrating. We'll go elsewhere for our dry cleaning and alterations.

I've been going to Vahan's since I was a small child, when I would accompany a parent or two who needed something tailored or wanted to peruse the luxurious bounty. Lest you think the only appeal is Vahan's customer service, be aware that the man's tailoring skills are advanced enough to border on the paranormal. One of the greatest institutions Ann Arbor has left. Long live Vahan!

It was a mistake. I regret it. I'm not sure if Vahan (who was kind-er) or his assistant George (who was mean-er) were offended by the fact that I bought a suit using the Internet or that it was a more modern and slim style, but they hassled me about both, and not in a paternalistic "I know a lot about suits" kind of way, but in a racist, "now you've made me uncomfortable" kind of way. As in, George yells at me, "You're in America now, you should buy American." Excuse me? I might not be white, but I've always been "in America." I was born in Illinois. And where do you think Italian suits come from? End of story, the suit jacket needed to be sent back, but the pants could have been hemmed here. Too bad. I chose to take my $75 tailoring credit to somewhere that doesn't racially profile me. The only reason I'm giving them a second star is because I have no idea how they are at altering clothes. they might sew like a boss, but after this, I just don't care.
