The shop may not look like much from the outside but, when it comes to custom tailoring, it's the magic that happens inside that counts. If you've grown out of the Indochino/Suit Supply types of made-to-measure services, and you live in the area, definitely see Peter at Tam Tailor for a big step up the tailoring ladder. I have worked with Peter at Tam Tailor on two bespoke suits; one all-purpose navy two-piece suit and a three-piece peak lapel tuxedo for my wedding. Both suits fit me better than any suits I have ever owned, including a jacket made for me by another well regarded Orange County bespoke & made-to-measure tailor as well as many off-the-rack and online made-to-measure services. Peter has a lot of fabric options available to browse through and is able to order fabrics that he doesn't have on hand. His fabric books seem to focus mostly on Loro Piana fabrics on the higher end (he also has many options for other fabric mills at lower price points) but, for my tuxedo, he was easily able to source a specific barathea fabric by Scabal that I requested for my tuxedo. Going through the process of taking measurements and multiple basted fittings was a pleasure and Peter was very open to hear my suggestions for how I prefer my fit and details. I was able to bring example photos to demonstrate some of these aspects as well and Peter incorporated them into the process. He has a good eye and is able to spot issues and adjustments quite well but he's open to hearing your input, too. Not only did Peter and his team create a custom pattern based on my measurements, I was able to specify details such as lapel width, height of the lapel gorge, shape of the lower jacket quarters, jacket button stance, etc. I am extremely satisfied with the end results. The quality of work and the overall experience represents a great value/price-point that I don't think can be beat in Southern California. Additionally, Tam Tailor has handled quite a few basic and more serious alterations for me. They do a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. read more

I've started to come here for all my tailoring and alteration needs. Peter (Tam's son) is probably the most honest and knowledgeable tailor I've met. I come here for everything after searching far and wide for a good tailor. It's just too difficult to find a place that does alterations with the sort of attention to detail that Tam Tailor has. As Peter said to me, "Our tailors can do anything. If they can make a jacket from scratch, they can do anything else." As Peter said, this shop is special because they can make suits completely from scratch. They are a true bespoke shop. All of their tailors work locally and the suits are made locally. They aren't shipped overseas or outsourced in any way. Brands like Suit Supply are great in terms of affordability, but their products are made in China. Many affordable menswear brands and Made to Measure shops do the same thing. Not Tam Tailor. They are a true local business, and by coming here, you are supporting a local entrepreneurial endeavor. The pricing is good. The quality of the work is excellent. They do everything from bespoke suits, bespoke shirts, sleeve alterations (like making actual function button holes on the sleeves of a jacket), to more basic things like hemming and tapering pant legs. I'll probably come here for anything and everything for the foreseeable future. I also plan on getting a bespoke suit made by Peter and his team pretty soon. Side Note: Peter has told me a lot of cool stories about the shop and Tam. Peter said that their shop used to make bespoke suits for Kobe Bryant. They would go to his house and do measurements there. Peter also told me a story about Tam and how he made a suit for an African president back in the day. Decades later, when Peter's son was graduating high school, Tam went into the archives and looked for the fabric he used for the African president, found it, and then made a suit for his grandson (Peter's son) as a graduation gift! read more

I came to Tam Tailor to make a made-to-measure suit for my wedding. After comparing their offering to the corporate models of Suitsupply and Indochino, I made the decision to move forward with Peter as I felt I was going to get much better quality, service, and value from Tam Tailor. After choosing from Peter's fabric choice, I ended up ordering a suit made from Loro Piana Super 150s wool. The fabric itself had a very subtle sheen and depth that looked very special with the light. Peter was very communicative through the entire process and made my suit to my request. Knowing very little about suits in general, I deferred to Peter to help with any choices necessary and am super happy with how the fit and finish turned out. read more

Mr. Tam is the sweetest and I'm so happy that he tailored my first suit. It fits like a glove! He was so gentle in pinning my suit and didn't speak much but when we came back a few days later to pick up, he was much more talkative. He's got jokes! He was very grateful for the business. Affordable, cash only. Highly recommend Mr. Tam! read more

Tam Tailor - My first perfectly tailored suit by Mr Tam! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Westminster, California

Peter is da man!! He made my black Taylor made suit and my a Taylor made white shirt in less then a month which he said he could do. The suit n shirt was definitely fantastic in every way.. the only little flaw was Communication. A few times he was supposed to call he didn't. I had to call him. He up graded the material on the suit without letting me know. Because they ran out of the other material. Which I would of agreed on it.. After talking to him. I said it was cool. But overall I was definitely happy n satisfied with the suit . Had many compliments on the suit.. it fit well. I look sharp . I loved it. Many of my people love it!! I felt like I was in GQ. Lol ..outstanding job Peter! I'll definitely come back to get another suit!!!! read more

My husband is an attorney so he wears suits on a daily basis. Everything from Macy's to Armani. For our wedding day, we want something special and beautifully tailored. Peter did an amazing job with my husband's suit. He took his time to go over all the design details with us during on first appointment. He designed and made the jacket, pants, vest and dress shirt. Everything was tailored to perfection. We couldn't have asked for a better result. My husband loves his suit. I highly recommend Peter. read more

Mr. Peter, at Tam Tailor, knew what I wanted in less words than I could express! Quality work, quick turnaround, and humble, candid demeanor. More professionals like this, please! I'm ready for my interview, coming out of the shop with a smile on my face and good energy in my heart. read more

Peter is extremely very and his knowledge and skills as a tailor is immense. He is a fine craftsman.

Having received my custom tuxedo from my tailor in Hong Kong for my upcoming wedding, I was dismayed that the lapel was not equipped with a buttonhole as I had requested a month prior. Not wanting to send my tuxedo back overseas to have a proper buttonhole cut into the lapel, I searched for a tailor locally, but could not find anyone up to the task. I was becoming frantic, with my hopes of wearing a boutonnière evaporating as the wedding day was quickly approaching. One tailor in Huntington Beach however, pointed me in Tam Tailor's direction and, boy, am I glad he ever did! I dropped my dinner jacket off with Tam (pronounced like "Tom"), and asked him exactly where he was going to make the cut into the lapel and at what angle. Tam looked at me out of the corner of his eyes and quipped, "Trust me. I know what I'm doing." It was a gamble, but I walked away, entrusting Tam with my bespoke dinner suit jacket. By the time it took me to walk over to the bank across the street to pull some cash (Tam only accepts cash) and return, Tam was already finished with the work! I was impressed! A short conversation with Tam revealed that he was a custom tailor in Hong Kong during the '70s. I'll definitely be returning to Tam Tailor for future, additional alterations and, perhaps, a bespoke suit from him! read more

I went to Tam to get 3 jackets worked on. Two adjustments and one arm needed to be repaired on one of my favorite Canali blazers. The work was solid and the pricing is fair. You can tell my the number of suits they have around but their work me precise and everything came back better. For the arm repair I couldn't tell where they repaired it and the stitching was flawless. This isn't a showroom and it looks like the floor of a manufacturing plant but the work is very solid. I've been getting jackets and suits for work for over 20 years and I've learned it's not the actual suit but your tailor that's gonna make you look right. Will be back for sure and I'll probably save for one of the custom suits they make after looking at the fabric quality and their work on my jackets. read more

Amazing service, very quick. I had a hard time looking for someone to just sew some buttons but he did the job in a well and fast manner. Definitely coming back for sewing or tailor needs! read more

I'd always wanted a suit, especially one tailored to me. I read the reviews here and went straight to Tam Tailor. You can see how much care Peter puts into his work. He made me feel at home, carefully considering each of my questions and requests. My custom 3-piece suit and shirt came out beautifully, fit how I wanted, and makes me feel like a million bucks! The love and craftsmanship shines through. I'm happy wearing it for as long as I can, and will be coming back for more. Come in and support this local business! Thank you Peter! read more

I'm a short guy with a stalky, thick build. I don't fit into anything off the rack, it's pure sadness. But Tam has changed my life for the better, I look good as fuq now. Ya need sleeves altered, pants hemmed/tapered, anything reasonable, he can do it. He makes bespoke clothing, and that expertise extends to every one of his customers, not just people who purchase bespoke. For younger customers such as myself, he's pointed to affordable options that end up looking thrice as expensive after tailoring. He's taught me that you can make $100 suit look like 1000 with the right fit, style, and material. He gives great advice on how things should fit while staying careful not to force you into a certain style. His advice revolves around timeless styles, which is appreciated by a majority of people. I've been going to him for the past year now and I highly recommend him as one of the best tailors in OC. I've gotten suits, jackets, dress pants, chinos, jeans, dress shirts tailored by him without any issues. He gave me one look one time prior to altering my suit sleeves and said my left arm extended farther down compared to my right and explained why based on my natural posture and shoulder structure, something any skilled tailor can do, but the way he measures and analyzes things imo is very refined and precise compared to others. Come thru and support this old man, he's hard working, modest in pricing, and produces quality work. read more

Highly recommend Mr. Tailor. He is 81 years old and still comes to work at 7am every morning. Many celebrities come to him for custom suits. The whole process is very simple. First I chose the fabric. A couple days later I came in for a fitting, which was perfect for me. Then I picked up the finished product a couple days after that. Half of the payment is due when you place the order and the other half when you pick up the suit. read more

The alteration shop I usually go to was closed today so I decided to give this place a try due to the proximity. What a great find! For a simple hem it was $10 for men's pants. That wasn't bad considering the owner charges upwards of $1000 for a custom made suit. While speaking to the owner he shared with me some of the celebrities he has made suits for over the years. The list was quite impressive. You can tell he was been in the business for a long time just observing the way he starting pinning you without even having to ask what needed to be done. He didn't rush the whole process and really took his time to make sure everything was how you wanted. If you're looking for someone to create a high quality suit/tux or even simple alterations, this is the place. You will get over 30 years of experience and great customer service. read more

Mr. Tam does phenomenal work. Period. I brought in a full suit and a couple pairs of slacks to be tailored and he did a fantastic job. He takes his time to ensure that all the measurements are done right and offers excellent advice. Mr. Tam is an honest, hard worker and deserves praise for his craftsmanship. His prices are also pretty reasonable. Bottom line: Look nowhere else. Mr. Tam will get it done right. read more

Thank mr tam for my alterations of my suit. Awesome service and great quality. My suit came out perfect and I look GQ for the wedding I was in. Prices are a little more expensive compare to other alterations, but it is so worth it. Tam tailor has been here so long, even my mom knows the place, I can finally see why he's been in business this long. If you need alterations to your suit, look no further and come to tam tailor!! His place is located up stairs and there's plenty of parking. Once again thank you tam tailor, I'm definitely having all my suits alterations here from now on. read more

I was referred by my family to Tam's shop just to tailor my suit. He made a $125 suit look like $800 one. I ended up buying a custom made suit from him and after one week of waiting, I had a fabulous one. The suit is comfortable and fits my body extremely well. After wearing the custom made suit to a party, I heard all the compliments from my friends. The price is absolutely worth it because he has years of experience tailored custom suits for celebrities. I will recommend Tam to all people who are in need of a fabulous suit for their special day. read more

I visited Tam Tailor for a new suit and an adjustment for my previous one today and found out that there has been a big change. Muoi, the long time owner and master tailor, has retired since my last review due to an injury. I was relieved to hear that he is recovering and doing better. The business is now run by his son, Peter. This came as a surprise to me because Muoi never mentioned to him to me, but I have only asked him once briefly about this anyway. Any apprehension I had about the change was gone after chatting with Peter. Because he is younger and more fluent in English, it was easier to communicate with him. He told me that he had been working behind the scenes the entire time during Muoi's tenure, so I assume that the workflow would not change much if at all. I noticed that Peter's stylistic preferences are more modern and closer to my own, preferring slimmer and slightly shorter cut over Muoi's classic, slightly roomier style. Peter was also willing to honor the same price that Muoi had been charging for the past couple years. While I was waiting, I noticed another customer taking delivery of his suit made under Peter's tenure, and I could not find any complaints as to either the quality or stylistic choices. I will update the review once I my suit is finished, but the outlook is positive so far. read more

I had 2 old suits and decided to give Tam Tailor a try. Upon entering, there was a much older man who greeted me. For a brief second, I wondered if I wanted a younger tailor, but realized that Mr. Tam is one of those rare tailors who has almost 40 years of experience under his belt. I had some major alterations to my suit jacket and pants. He asked me a serious of questions of how he wanted my fit, and if you want a more modern fit, I would be sure to express it if that is what you want. I dropped off my 2 suits for a week, and after I picked it up and tried it on, a loved the tailored fit. I think this shop represents something more special for me though. Mr. Tam is old, but has so many great stories about his clients (such as Rod Stewart) and all his travels around the world. Mr. Tam shared some of his stories with me where he came to America with just $7, and after 40 years built a successful business through word of mouth (and now Yelp!). A part of me is really thankful for his hard work, because it is his generation which helped my generation be able to have opportunity in this country. Getting back to the review, I recommend him for any suit tailoring and a great story if you have a minute. read more

Wonderful service. clearly someone passionate about what they do. Bespoke suit and I'm excited to continue working with them in the future.

Tam is the man! I'm not the suit-wearing type to be honest so this is my first experience getting a suit tailored. Tam's attention to detail and decades of experience make him the best choice in the Northern Orange County area. He's cut suits for many celebrities and has a ton of stories to tell--truly a pleasure to deal with. I brought him a $150 suit and two shirts. He tailored my jacket, pants, and two shirts for $75, great deal! The suit fits like a glove now--he made a $150 suit look like $700 suit. Don't let his shop turn you away. It's not the cleanest or the most modern-looking business but Tam's knowledge and experience make it the best place around to go to for suit-making. read more

Tam is great. I've been coming here since high school. Whether I need tailoring right away or for future events, Tam finds a way to get it done. I truly appreciate all that he does. Pricing is affordable. I wouldn't choose anywhere else to get my stuff tailored! read more

Great service and very attentive to detail... I bring all of my clothes here for tailoring. Support your local mom and pop businesses!

Mr. Tam was very kind and efficient despite my odd work request. I have a Pitt mix who is a therapy dog. Because she's " full figured, i.e. Big chest, tiny waist " her required uniform vests never fit. I called them to ask if I could bring in her and her vest. After only a moment of hesitation, he said of course, you are a customer. She wasn't terribly cooperative, because she wanted to lie down for a tummy rub. He patiently fit her. It will be ready in two days. He laughed, said he didn't need to give me a claim check as this was a first. We couldn't have been treated more nicely. Lovely experience thank you sir. read more

The experience I had at this place is simple and affordable. I brought in my suit for alter on Monday evening and was able to get it on Tuesday afternoon. Even with a fast turn around, the suit still fit perfectly without any flaws. At fist, I was very skeptical about coming to this place because the area and where it was. But their work overcome my fear. !Recommended! read more

Tam has been my personal tailor and friend for more than 25 years. I have bought more than 30 hand made suits from him during that time and I have never been dissatisfied. In addition to suits, Tam makes all of my business shirts as well. All the shirts are from fabrics selected by me and made to my personal measurements. I have bought slacks from time to time at other places as needed. Most are crap. Today, I needed 2 more pairs of slacks. So it was back to see the master. Why buy off the rack when you can have it made to measure? read more

Mr. Tam's work is magical. He knows tricks of the trade to make clothing that alter appearance. If you're fat, he can design a suit that makes you appear thinner. If you're short, he will design a suit that makes you look taller. If you're out of proportions, he will make you look more proportioned. Mr. Tam has decades of experience making suits for celebrities and heads of state. He has dozens of Nigerian clients. He flies to Nigeria and stays at the Presidential Palace while he measures high level government officials. Yet, this man is so down-to-earth, so easy to talk to. Yet, his prices for the ordinary man like me is very reasonable. I am very lucky to have found Mr. Tam. I highly recommend him. read more

Tam is the man! As another mentioned, a lot of NFL players and celebrities go to Tam for custom made suits. He was educated in tailoring in London. He imports really expensive fabric from italy. His suits start at about $800 he mentioned. My experience was for tailoring to a suit i had already purchased from Nordstrom Rack. I had to go to a wedding and bought the suit last minute. He was able to tailor the whole suit in one day, and it looks perfect. What a nice guy! Remember to bring cash or a check, he does not accept plastic. read more

I gotta say that Tam really does know his trade. He has worked overseas and is capable of assessing the quality of the items you bring. I brought in a custom made jacket where one sleeve was too short. He fixed it within 4 days for a more than fair price. I would recommend anyone to come here for their tailor needs. read more

I found this place through a style forum recommendation and it's legit. I used to go to By Design, Arsens, or European Tailoring near SCP, but will be coming to Tams for the foreseeable future. This place does surgeon's cuff (working button holes on suit sleeves) in-house. The place is old school with tons of fabric and in-progress bespoke suits everywhere. The walls are also lined with tons of celebrity thank you pictures to Muoi. Apparently he's THE bespoke suit guy for athletes and celebs. No name dropping, but you'll recognize all the MLB players. I brought in 2 new RL Black Label suits, a RL Purple Label blazer, and a pair of Zanella slacks for alterations. I got them back perfectly fit, collar roll gone, and Muoi even touched up something without me asking! Totally old school cool dude! read more
