Sorry to revive this old thread... but has anyone had experience with Mario's Alteration or First Class Tailors ?

I'm debating between these 3:



Wilshire Tailor - Paul
6329 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90048

Mario's Alterations
9615 Brighton Way
Beverly Hills, CA 90210



First Class Tailors - Marina
11701 Wilshire Blvd Ste 2
Los Angeles, CA 90025


Any Help would be fantastic, thank you!

First Class/Marina is really good. Not cheap. But good.

Just dropped off a Phineas Cole suit at Wilshire Tailors -- the quote was:

$160 (8 sleeve button holes @ $20/each)
$275 Jacket (shoulders, upper back, sides in)
$25 (pants hem)

Will update on finished product -- for $460 I'm hoping for flawless.

Don't hope for flawless. So many alterations means the jacket didn't fit to begin with. Even with the best tailor, you shouldn't expect a great result.

It's pretty close actually -- could get away with less if I spent less time on SF. It's about as good as an OTR jacket's ever fit me, but then again I'm a 36 with weird posture.

Any updates on tailors over the last few years?

A few weeks ago I replied to a query for bespoke tailors.
I believe that Caruso(s) also do alterations;

LA tailor could be Enzo Caruso in Santa Monica:

Also his nephews(?):

Just went to Paul at Wilshire Tailor to have the sleeves of my blazer shortened from the shoulder. He charged me $175 total. He insisted to show only a tiny weeny bit of cuff, but I insisted more but he sort of refused. I relented and went with it anyways. He's got quite the attitude these days, I don't remember him being like that before.

Anyways I'll keep you guys posted when the blazer comes back. His turnover time is 2 weeks.
