Quality/Quantity - My wife wanted to patch my daughter's jeans! We got quoted $10 to patch a $20 pair of jeans?!?! I'm thinking that my wife would have then said no, but she agreed. I told my wife that this is the style, it is supposed to look like that. And I was thinking I could just buy my daughter another $20 pair?!?! But my wife wanted it done, so we left the jeans. Support local. I have two ripped jeans also (that I paid $15 each for). For $10 repair each, I am going for that ripped style, lol. Ambiance - Decent size location, in the corner of the mall. Plenty of mall parking. Open 6 days a week, closed on Sundays. Business hours worn out on the door, so call to confirm. Remember, it is owner operated and he needs breaks also. Service - Owner cooperated, so if he is not here, he might be out to lunch at one of the other local businesses. He said it would be done in approximately a week, and we should get a call when it was done. After 1.5 weeks, we called to confirm it was done, made an appointment to come to pay and pick it up. Easy in and out. Price - $10, cash or zelle. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1959. read more

I tore my climbing pants. He fixed them in such a way I could not find where the original damage was. Absolutely incredible. He's a very nice person too. Highly recommended. read more

If I can't get to a Nordstrom, this is my go to in town. I've tried out a few other tailors in Reno but this is the place if you want things done quickly and above board. I will admit I don't expect the tailoring to be perfect (they seem to have some trouble with pants length as I like my pants to hit slightly at the top of my ankle when hemmed and have never gotten that done perfect from here but have from Nordstrom tailors) but they did a pretty good job letting out my suit coat (a hard ask). Thanks Raja for the professional service. read more

Very rarely do I feel compelled to leave a five star review immediately upon leaving a shop. This place is worthy of that rare occasion. I've known that I needed to find a good tailor, and I've searched on and off for one, but the experience had been so harrowing that I was close to giving up. I found this place as a random Yelp search result and decided it had enough good reviews that I'd give it a try. The place moved a few doors down in the shopping center strip where it's located, so I almost left defeated, but found it at the last minute. It's in Suite 7 now - not 14. Upon entering, Raja, an Indian man with shoulder length black hair, greeted me immediately. I briefly explained that I almost left after having trouble finding the place with the info on Yelp, to which he explained that he's been getting to change the info on Yelp, and that he checks Yelp often. This guy cares about his business. I then explained that I was there because I had noticed that the shoulders on my sport coat had developed a horned look at the corners. He was quick to notice that thus happens when people grow their bodies, to which I responded that I am a bodybuilder and that it now makes sense why I didn't notice this when I first got the suit. As we went along, Raja was very helpful k explaining what the issues were and how he would plan to fix them, which helped me to open up about other issues I had with the jacket. With every new issue I presented, more education on why it occurred and how to fix it. This guy is very thorough about his work, which, as a perfectionist myself, I really like. Raja went on to tell me how there originally was a Michael, 89, who owned the place, but who passed away four weeks ago, and that the business has been around for 59 years. He shared with me stories about past customers he's helped that Dewalt with issues about forgotten purses and urgent need for next day service, which highlighted his moral stance and how he values customers before all else. After the suit jacket, he asked me about how I feel about my shirt, to which I responded that I knew the arms were too long. He began to describe how he could fix it, but I cautioned him that I would have to come back because I don't have another shirt and have to head to the office. He went so far as to look around to see if he had a shirt my size that he could loan me, so that I could get everything done in one trip. He didn't find one, but thr notion that he thought to look was nothing short of impressive. Before I left, he informed me that there are other ways to fix the jacket's issues that could be less costly and just as good a fix for these particular issues, and that he would try to assess whether those would work first before attempting the standard alterations. He said the work would take a week or less, and that he would call me to let me know when I could pick the jacket up. A week or less for all that work? Phenomenal. I am so glad I found this place, and, provided the result is good work as I'll find out when I pick up, I will never go any other place besides here. I am so excited to see the results, and look forward to recommending him to everyone in my office. Great job, Raja! read more

I was in need of having some patches sewn on to my Gi. After calling several local establishments, some made it clear that a job of this size wasn't something they were very interested in tackling, "oh, just two patches, I'll need a week, minimum." Raja was extremely accommodating when I spoke with him. I explained that I was in a pinch for time and he said he would do his best and try to have it ready the next day. I was more than pleased with being able to pick it up the next day, especially with such short notice. On my way to the gym that very same day, only hours later, Raja had called to inform me that my Gi was all done and ready for pickup. When I came in to pickup my Gi, I hung out and spoke with Raja about many different things, as he is not only extremely pleasant, but also very great energy to be around. He did a great job! I am grateful for his services and his time spent with me. Thank you, Raja! I will definitely be returning to have the rest of my tailoring needs handled by Raja. read more

Great service! He helped me out with a last minute alteration. Had everything ready in less than 24 hours, charged me regular price with no rush fee. Super nice guy! Definitely my tailor of choice moving forward. Thank you, Michael! read more

I know this might not seem like a big deal to most people but I forgot cash and he let me take my clothes, completely trusting me to come back with cash, and gave me such a heart warming speech about how he has faith in humanity and he trusted me and he doesn't know what happened to us as a whole to make us stop trusting each other. he has no idea who I am and treated me like a trusted friend. I definitely left with tears in my eyes lol. He did awesome work, I will be returning if need be. read more

Beautiful and quite literally perfect hand-sewn hemming on a silk jumpsuit. No nonsense, straight to the point, extremely skilled tailor. Thanks Babu. read more

Took 3 times to get some patches sewn on my uniform, each time he forgot something. Still not done right. Left the Velcro on one of them. And still charged me $120. I could've bought custom uniforms for that price. Don't come here read more

Raja helped me out tremendously with a 1 day turnaround on a new tailored suit for a wedding I was attending. I was told I had the best suit at the wedding. He was extremely kind and knowledgeable. I can't thank him enough but I can highly recommend his services. read more

We rolled into Reno for a wedding and I needed a nice shirt for it. Being a big guy it is IMPOSSIBLE to buy a good fitting shirt off the rack. We found Michael the Tailor (Raja actually) on Yelp and he had such awesome reviews so we decided to give him a try. He had a shirt in the shop I purchased and he measured me for the needed alterations. I dropped the bomb on him that I needed it quickly. Wednesday he measured me...Friday it was done as promised. And for a very low price. He really should charge more for such speedy and precision work. But he is such a humble man and friendly guy that works so very hard. Anyway, he is very accommodating for rush jobs. Oh. And he is a GOD when it comes to making coffee. If you offers you coffee take it. It is the best I have ever had. I cannot stress this enough. I cannot recommend him enough. I wish they had a sixth start or a plus you could add to the rating for those places that go beyond expectations. read more

Raja is the most selfless human who makes a living off of peoples happiness. He does an incredible job and will make sure everyone is happy before sending them on their way. He is a man who has a hard time saying no, so please allow plenty of time for your appointment, as there may be a few customer Interruptions. Just check in to make sure he is on schedule with your items, but he will always get you what you need by when you need it by- even if it means pulling an all nighter. Like I said, a very selfless man. He fitted suits for our wedding and they turned out absolutely flawless. He's the best, truly. Highly recommend. read more

I will be coming back again for any alterations I need in the future. read more

I was referred here by my father-in-law whom I believe had a suit made by Michael. Goofy little suit / men's wear shop, but Michael was very nice both interactions I had with him (though a little hard of hearing) and he even kept the shop open late for me when I was running behind. I am no expert on tailoring but he had it done by when I asked for it, and it looks great to me - and more importantly I have pants for my brother's wedding that I can actually wear now. read more

Micheal The Tailor By Babu - Men's Wear by Michael the Tailor - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This guy is amazing and has a huge heart. He gave me a really good deal on a black 3 piece suit and threw in a one of a kind black French cuff shirt and black tie. Then I realized I didn't like the fit of the shirt as it was just a size large (universal size) so I brought it back to him and asked if he could taller it to fit better. He said he might but he will look if he can find a sized one first. He ran into the same problem I did trying to find one. They don't exist. So when I showed back up unannounced 4 days later he was delighted to see me and pulled the shirt off a rack and the whole thing had been tapered to a perfect fit. And what he charged me is literally unbeatable. Highly recommend. He also did a fantastic for a few people from the wedding party we sent to him including a stunning job on a bridesmaids dress and alteration on a groomsmen's Macy's pants. read more

The Abaolute Worst Tailor in Reno Completely ruined a $250.00 pair of Jeans. The Most unorganized Business in Reno. Prepay for a button to be repaired / replaced. Says it will be ready the following day Show up and he cannot find my jeans. Starts calling around which became concerning and then he speaks with someone and ask me to come back for the Jeans later. Apparently outsourcing. Had major concerns with the work and he tried to explain what was done. Washed Jeans 1 Time since repair and his craftsmen ship fell off Button he used completely fell apart Went back to discuss product and refund and he wanted another attempt at the repair..Better off finding a 8th grader taking home economics than having anything of value repaired here. Complete lack of organization and the worst customer service in Reno read more

I was strapped for time to get my clothes hemmed, and I needed to alter my clothes for New Year's Eve. I happen to find this store by accident, and talked to Raja, who was just about to close the store. I told him about my situation, and he accommodated my request. Raja made the measurement, and he took my clothes home so he can work on it due to the fact that his business is close the next day. The dress shirt and pants fit perfectly, and I received my clothes right on time so I can wear it the next day. I highly recommend Raja to anyone looking for a tailor who truly cares about the needs of his customers. Thank you again for taking the time in your busy schedule to help me. I will highly recommend you to all my friends and family. Thank you again. read more

The gentleman here is awesome. While I ended up not getting a suit here, the service was impeccable. I think I was just a bit drawn away by how he was trying to show me the "price" of the suit and that I was getting a great deal. I wouldn't have mind but he didn't have what I wanted. I would give him another shot though another time. read more

Needed a suit altered for my wedding. Went in and he was kind and led me through the process. Told me about his custom suits and just so happened to have an extra in the pattern, color, and size I wanted. Tried it on and loved it. He made the measurements for alterations and said both suits and a new shirt would be ready in 3-5 days. Two days later everything was ready, no rush charge, no extras. Just two perfectly fitting suits at an incredible price. Didn't get a chance to try the coffee though. read more

Worst tailor ever. I asked him bring in a few of my shirts to make them fitted. The guy did not match the seam, did not change the thread to match and didn't bother to surge it. He doesn't even own a surger. How can he even call himself a tailor? More over, he claims to be a member of the Master Designers of America. I cannot seem to find a record of this organization on the internet, except for his own webpage. read more
