    Dress pre-tailoring with some pins

    I went out of my way (40 minute to drive) to have a dress tailored at Mode Tailoring because of the strong reviews. I also vaguely remember classmates using the shop for tailoring during my time at the nearby University of Maryland. Mr. Kim, the original tailor, was able to tailor my gown on what I believe was his last week before retiring. The service was efficient from the time I walked in the door to departure. I waited a few minutes for another customer to be fitted and for a third customer to make a quick pickup. The shop is small but there is a small seating area and there are two enclosed fitting rooms. My dress was pinned with relative ease to my liking and I chose to pay the balance of the service up front. The dress was ready on time and I have no complaints. I would recommend Mode Custom Tailor under the assumption that the new ownership will continue Mr. Kim's legacy and quality of work.

    My military great coat before I gave it to Mr. Kim. There were stains and bad stitching all over it.

    Mr. Kim, the proprietor, installed a new lining in my old wool military coat; he turned it into a beautiful and unique coat I can wear with a suit or tuxedo as well as jeans. I went to the Jo-Ann Fabric store in the same mall as Mr. Kim's store and selected a brilliant blue satin for the lining (to contrast with the coat's dark navy blue wool). I then worked with Mr. Kim to design into the lining 4 pockets, which he sized and placed exactly as I wanted - I now have ample room to securely hold my gloves and scarf, as well as a cell phone and other items. I am very pleased with Mr. Kim's work, and I look forward to taking other projects to him in the future.

    Here's the blazer !

    Mr Kim is awesome! I needed a tuxedo blazer tailored in February because it was too big in. It was my first time getting anything tailored so I searched on google and found him. Glad I did! The blazer fit awesome after the alterations were done and the prices are very affordable! Also I needed the coat for a photoshoot that was in 4 days. He got my blazer completed in 3! If I ever need something tailored again I know exactly who to go to! Thanks again Mr Kim!

    See all

    The tailor is great and the turn around time was quicker than I expected. I must also say his pricing is the best in the area.

    He does great work. Anything I need tailored I bring it here. The prices are good compared to other tailors and quick turn arounds.

    Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced…read more I rented a suit from this Men's Wearhouse location (8514 Fenton St, Silver Spring, MD) on December 12, 2024, for an event in February 2025. I canceled the rental on February 3, 2025, and was promised a refund of $202.46. Over 3 months later, after visiting the store more than 10 times, I still have not received my refund. The employees, including the manager, repeatedly gave me false promises, excuses, and contradictory answers, but no actual solution. They wasted my time and showed zero professionalism or accountability. I eventually had to escalate the issue to corporate just to get a response. The next step will be reporting to BBB and my bank if I don't get any response from corporate. I strongly recommend avoiding this store location. They do not honor their word, they mishandle refunds, and they show complete disregard for customer service.

    Overall, I had a pretty good experience at this Men's Wearhouse. The young fellow from New Orleans…read moredid an excellent job in finding and sizing a last-minute suit for a family function. All the employees seemed pretty friendly and very helpful. Although I do not purchase suits on a regular basis, I thought the prices were pretty fine. While they did not have as many styles as I would have liked (mainly because of my own time [and size] constraints), the wearhouse had a decent selections. Fortunately, tailoring took a couple of days; however, I was a bit shocked that they charged an express fee of around $30 to hem the pants. But, hey, I guess that's the business. Suits aside, I did see decent casual and business casual wear that was not too expensive. I might have to stop by again to check out some of these items in the near future.

    One thing I do love about Beltway Plaza is that the parking lot is so huge and it never feels so…read morecrowded that I have to struggle to find parking. Now, I'm sad GameStop and August 32 are gone, but some things have taken their place like a new juice bar and a new chicken spot. Speaking of, the mall feeling dated is still very much a thing. I've heard about a bunch of other new things coming, but there was a grand opening and that dated background just kind of clashed in my opinion. I can't help but wonder what their plans are.

    I could have swore I reviewed this place shortly after I moved to the area, however I was wrong. On…read moremy most recent visit I decided why not finally give it a review. Upon first impressions this place looks massive and impressive. It is not your traditional mall in the sense that the anchor stores aren't what you expect. Here you have a grocery store and big box anchoring the plaza. Giant is on the one end while you have Target on the other. The rest of the stores within are a mix of national brands and local stores. I say that this place reminds me of the stores/malls in the Zohan movie. The names of the stores is what brings this to mind. It does have it's high points here, i.e., they have a movie theater, ample parking, and plenty of stores. However, they do have their low points too. Several stores have closed since I was here last. Z Burger and TJMaxx are noticeably missing. They do still seem to keep pulling in and opening up newer stores. Not sure how they are capable of doing that, but they are. It is a great place for a distraction.
