    Zim (the tailor) is amazing! So far I've gotten 8 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts worked on by him, and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. IS. FANTASTIC!!! I like to wear clothes that are fitted close without being too tight. Everytime he gets it nailed down perfectly. And one time where I wanted changed a little bit, he fixed it up quickly and easily. The prices are super reasonable, and he works with you on exactly what you and how you want it. I'm slowly getting all my clothes tailored to the fit I like and I guarantee you Zim is the tailor to get them all done perfectly!

    My 5 pair of paints that I had tapered for that "slim fit". Zin did such a great job. These fit perfectly!

    I had a shirt that was bitten by a silver fish and they fixed my shirt that had a hole from it in minutes.

    I wish we hadn't already ordered tuxes before I met Zim because otherwise we would have ordered those with him too.

    If you're looking to purchase a tuxedo or a new suit, I highly recommend Zeglio Custom Clothiers…read more Their prices are extremely reasonable--especially when you put into account the craftsmanship you'll be getting--and their products are made specifically to you!! I found Zeglio by accident years ago when I needed to get a cheap tuxedo altered for my sister's wedding. When I walked in, I was quickly greeted by Richard. He happily suggested a nearby place for alterations, but before I left, he put one of Zeglio's bespoke jackets on me to show me the difference in fit. When I left that day, I knew I wanted to have my wedding tuxedo created by these people. When that day finally came, I called Zeglio's Lakeview location to begin the process. My call was warmly answered by Richard and the experience began. Richard is an incredibly talented and knowledgeable designer. During the design portion, he was informative, patient, and considerate, which made the whole experience really enjoyable. I did my fitting and alterations at Zeglio's store in Loop. The place is super slick inside and the tailors really make you feel important: from the professionalism all the way to the small details most people would overlook, but makes a HUGE difference (suggesting I have the length of one of my shirt sleeves shorter than the other so my watch can be visible or altering the length of my pants so my socks show when I'm sitting down). Just an amazing attention to detail! My tuxedo only required a few minor adjustments. When I finally put everything on I was shocked at how flawless everything felt--I've never worn anything that has fit me so perfectly. This tuxedo made my wedding experience so much better. I wasn't nervous because I knew I looked good! It's amazing how your confidence is affected by the clothing you wear in a situation.

    LOVE this place. I came here a few months ago to get a custom suit for my wedding. I worked with…read moreRichard and David who were both amazing and easy to work with. I was expecting a super sales-y high-pressure process but it was the total opposite. Aside from literally two optional upgrades that bump up the cost $20 or so, the price of your suit is solely dictated on whatever type of fabric you choose. That's it. They don't try to upsell you at all which was very appreciated. They're very easy to work with, highly detail-oriented, and on time as far as when your suit will be done. Overall it was an incredible experience and I loved customizing my suit from the ground up without having to pay an arm and a leg. I'm already planning on coming back to replace my $150 ASOS and H&M suits!

The process of scheduling fittings was so easy and they are so accommodating. I wanted to make some last minute adjustments to my dress and they did it super quick.

I came to the shop on 3 different occasions to handle all alterations, bustle, and final pick up. They accept multiple forms of payment and only service one bride at a time for an intimate experience. Their alterations services came at a premium but their craftsmanship, hospitality, and final steaming services were unmatched. My dress fit me exactly how I had hoped for. The length was perfect, I felt very secure and covered, and my waist was well defined. Aynur was great about thoroughly explaining the three recommended bustle types she recommended. I chose the Bubble Bustle which meant my train was tied up under the dress. She thoroughly explained that my train would attract dirt lines but I loved the way it looked throughout the night! I would definitely recommend Aynur to anyone needing special occasion alterations near Arlington Heights!
