I'm awarding these buffoons a grand total of one star only because Yelp doesn't offer a negative 1…read morestar rating. I know, I know, another totally harsh review, but seriously . . . To summarize: Worst customer service ever from a tailor/alterations service, and this is the one at Hudson's Bay, Victoria BC. Tailor(s) have zero front desk skills (have a difficult time recording basic client information, seem forever confused about basic transactions, etc.). Poor English-speaking skills. Failed to provide receipt. Failed to have dress pants altered (straightforward waist-in alteration) on promised date (1 week between alteration mark-up and delivery date). Difficulty in locating my dress pants when I picked them up, un-altered. Inability to provide a refund for the alterations previously paid for. Tailor/seamstress wanted to engage in some sort of amateurish argument with me when I demanded that she hand over my dress pants to me. Zero alteration management system or process in place; to be honest, it was a delightful surprise that they hadn't actually lost my pants. In short, in all my years of dealing with tailors/alteration service, this is probably the worst-ever experience yet encountered with a tailor/alteration service. Not only will I forever avoid having further alterations at this location, I will dissuade others from patronizing this location. This was a truly painful experience on both occasions (May 7 and May 14, 2016), but even more dreadful given my previous decade's long career in menswear sales. What I'm saying is: I've sold hundreds of suits in my previous menswear career and never once in the thousands of alterations had I even once experienced this level of infantile nonsense. And, in my current profession of wearing a suit for over a decade, again I've never experienced this sort of cow dung. Yes, I am quite cognizant that the tone of my review is bordering on rant, but it's truly rare indeed that one is forced to face such incompetence on a truly staggering level. Oh, and if I've somehow failed to provide my caveat to you, my dear reader, it is this: I would not recommend this business under any circumstances. Ever.

TLDR: Multiple mistakes, delays, poor communication, sloppy, rush job…read more I had so much hope for this place with all the positive reviews. I should have read more into the negative ones before using him. A suit to me is an investment and it's really important that tailors take their job professionally. I came in to The Bespoke Clothier after doing some research as I needed a suit altered for an upcoming wedding. I had 2 weeks before the event which I felt was plenty of time for the job. I made an appointment with Gabriel for a consultation to look at the suit and discuss timing and needs for alterations. No real dressing room, just a closet that you can change in. He looked at my suit and made recommendations for the sleeves to be taken in and shortened and pants let out a bit on the waist. I also asked about adding surgeons cuffs with functional buttons. Gabriel mentioned that it's really easy and they do that all the time but they charge per button. Understandable I said and agreed to the pricing. This was Tuesday and was told that the alterations would be complete by Friday. A busy Friday for me meant a pickup on Saturday which would have been perfect as their posted hours on their website says: Saturday 9am-5pm. When I arrived on Saturday to pick up the suit, the lights were out, door locked and a note posted saying "Flexible Hours" this week and to text a number. I texted the number which replied that they would check with Gabriel on timing and they would communicate back to me a time for pickup. No response through Monday evening and by Tuesday at noon, I was getting a little concerned about lack of communication and timing. I decided to call on Tuesday afternoon and Gabriel picked up and told me the suit will be ready by 3pm that day. I arrived at the shop at 3:30pm with the pants ready and the jacket looking disheveled and unfinished with the buttons popped off one of the sleeves and arms way too long. He said he thought I needed the sleeves lengthened and he marked it incorrectly. He said this is an easy and quick job for the jacket and it will be ready tonight. I decided to give him more time to do a good job and said let me pick up tomorrow afternoon. The next afternoon comes and the jacket looked fine but I noticed that the buttons were not functional. He said he didn't take the correct notes and thought I didn't want that even though I was charged extra per button. Again was told that it was an easy job as he does this "all the time" and he would be the one personally making the functioning buttons. Again was told he could do it tonight and I again gave him extra time to do a nice, clean job. The suit was ready with functioning surgeons cuffs but the workmanship was really poor. Also one of the buttons for the interior pocket was missing. The cut and sewing lines were really sloppy looking and the thread for the buttons were not sewing inside the lining, leaving the button thread visible on the cup to lining. I'm not sure if Gabriel just over promises and has to rush through everything but i think he knows better. Overall a stressful situation being almost a week overdue, multiple mistakes and a seemingly rush job to finish. At the initial meeting, Gabriel was also trying to sell me a custom suit which I was seriously considering at the time. Unfortunately this soured my experience and mindset that he would be capable of making a full bespoke suit.

The Bespoke Clothier completely changed how I think about fit. If you have a hard-to-fit body type,…read moreyou know how disappointing even "altered" clothes can be. I brought Gabriel a designer suit that still didn't feel right after store alterations. He was pretty honest--said the best it could become was a 7/10--and then went to work. He adjusted the shoulders, chest, sleeves, lapels, which required him to move every single button. It was literally a completely different suit. And for the first time, it actually fit the way it should. Since then, I've gone back for five custom suits, multiple shirts, and my favorite, an overcoat (which I'd avoided for years because of off-the-rack fit issues). Every item has come out perfectly tailored. If fit has always been a compromise for you, it's worth seeing what Gabriel can do. Adding some photos, but I'm not a fashion/textiles photographer. It's harder than it looks.

Sew Generously falls firmly into the latter category. From my very first consultation to the final fitting, every aspect of the experience was outstanding. The entire team was welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about their craft. It was immediately apparent that this was not simply about making clothing - it was about creating garments that reflect the individual wearing them. The level of expertise and attention to detail throughout the process was remarkable. Every recommendation was thoughtful, every question was answered thoroughly, and every fitting demonstrated an incredible commitment to achieving perfection. At no point did I feel rushed. Instead, I felt like I was collaborating with true artisans who cared just as much about the finished product as I did. The suit they created for me exceeded every expectation I had. We designed a classic three-piece suit featuring fuller drape-style trousers and a longer coat inspired by timeless tailoring traditions. The finished result is elegant, distinctive, comfortable, and exceptionally well-balanced. The fit is unlike anything I have experienced from off-the-rack clothing, and every detail reflects the skill and craftsmanship that went into its creation. The fabric itself deserves special recognition. I selected a featherweight flannel that is simply extraordinary. It has a beautiful drape, incredible comfort, and a luxurious feel while remaining versatile enough to wear throughout much of the year. The way the fabric moves and complements the overall design is something that can only truly be appreciated in person. Equally impressive was the custom dress shirt they created for me. The fit is absolutely flawless, the construction is exceptional, and it is easily one of the finest and most comfortable dress shirts I have ever worn. It pairs perfectly with the suit and serves as another example of the attention to detail and commitment to quality that defines Sew Generously. What impressed me most, however, was how personal the entire experience felt. The team took the time to understand not only my measurements, but also my preferences, my style, and how I wanted the finished garment to look and feel. The result was not just a suit and shirt, it was clothing that felt uniquely mine. In an era where so much of the world has shifted toward mass production and convenience, Sew Generously offers something increasingly rare: genuine craftsmanship, exceptional service, and a level of care that is difficult to find anywhere else. I am genuinely grateful to have found Sew Generously. They have earned a customer for life. In fact, I am already planning my next suit, and my wife and I will be returning this summer to begin designing a custom winter overcoat for her so it will be ready when the colder weather arrives. To the entire Sew Generously team: thank you for creating not only the finest suit and dress shirt I have ever owned, but also one of the most enjoyable and rewarding customer experiences I have had anywhere. I look forward to many years - and many garments - to come.

I wound up changing a handful of small details such as the shirt I was wearing as our venue decorations changed so this isn't 100% the suit I got. Jeff's attention to detail though was fantastic and my changes certainly don't reflect on him or the quality of this suit which is impeccable. I spoke with a few bespoke suit places and Jeff just got my style the best. While other suits were beautiful, I think the small details Jeff payed attention to and some of his designs for the more modern person. Pockets for days! Jeff was super friendly, accommodating and helpful. My lady requested a swatch of fabric to help tie together the Father's and best man's suit with mine and he was able to accommodate. All in all...I highly suggest giving Jeff a try. He was great and look forward to the next one.

The "funny" thing is I was wearing one of the suits I purchased from him in 2008. Still fits great. I wore a different sport coat and slacks into the office earlier this week from closer to 2006 and my office mates thought I got new clothes. They might cost more than an off-the-rack suit but I promise you that once you wear a custom suit, shirt or slacks you won't want to go back. And of course the cost per wear is pretty low after almost 20 years. And they aren't being removed from my closet. Jeff is super personable and not pushy. He knows his stuff and you'll look great and feel great because looking good is feeling good.
