Tony The Tailor
We are a family-run business in the heart of downtown Edmonton, providing professional, quality tailoring and dry cleaning services. Leather and Fur are Mother Nature's warmest, insulators, and with the cold, dry winters in Edmonton, leather and fur are susceptible to wear and tear. We know how important functionality and style is and with the right amount of care, the life of your garments will be extended for many more years.
Services
Tony the Tailor was established by Tony in 1982 and later operated by Junko (June) in 1999. The shop has proudly served the heart of downtown Edmonton, providing professional and quality work to our customers for over 35 years. In 2019, after 20 years of running Tony the Tailor, Junko (June) retired and the torch was passed to Kieu, making her the third family to operate Tony the Tailor since 1982.
We offer a variety of professional and quality tailoring and dry cleaning services that will surely meet your needs! We provide professional and quality work for tailoring and alterations. Our experienced tailor specializes in luxury brands and fabrics so entrust us with your GUCCI, Hugo Boss, Marc Cain, Adriano Goldsmied Jeans, 7 for all Mankind Jeans, Eileen Fisher, and more!
We have had a lot of questions regarding our face masks. Here is a little FAQ to hopefully answer your questions and concerns. How do you wash/care for the face mask and how often? Our face masks are made from durable cotton (cotton twill, cotton denim, linen, cotton weave etc.) and should be washed in warm water, mild detergent and tumbled dry low or hand washed and hung to dry completely.
As a courtesy to our tailor, all garments brought in for alterations are expected to be clean, smoke and animal hair free. Alterations and dry cleaning prices may be subject to change, depending on the type of work and material. We do not take responsibility for defects or inherent weaknesses that are not readily apparent at the time of drop off.
As an alterationist at Tony the Tailor, you would be responsible for providing quality and professional alterations for a variety of garments for both men and women. You will work with our head tailor and complete goods by a scheduled date. It is expected that simple and complex alterations meet the standards of Tony the Tailor.

I took my favorite leather jacket here to see if a large triangular shaped rip in the shoulder could be repaired. they were upfront on the rip and told me due to the way it was ripped that they might not be able to repair it back to brand new and was hesitant to even take it as she pointed out other minor rips in the lining and other smaller damage to the jacket that understandably they didnt want to be liable for. I asked her how much to fix everything and she quoted me a reasonable price to fix everything and added in the cleaning. My jacket was ready exactly when they said it would be. when

I brought my bridesmaid dress over because I had to buy a size bigger to fit my hips.
It was a huge amount of work but they did such an amazing job.
Tony the tailor was super understanding and accommodating, and they even gave me a super fair price given it was such a complicated job.
Highly recommend and would go back for all my dresses!

I went in to get a new suit hemmed - Jacket sleeve length as well as pant hemming and width adjustment. They were very professional and reviewed everything with me at the end to ensure accuracy. Efficient beyond belief because it was done faster than I thought! My wife also got her leather jacket done here and it turned out perfect! Definitely an awesome place to go to!! Highly recommend.

This place provides one of the most expensive price but not that great job. Very disappointed over their price and quality of work. We would love to support the local but not this type of greedy and bad quality work.

I have brought many items to be altered, including evening dresses, dress pants and jeans. Some have been so complicated that you can consider them to be a total re-design. Tony the Tailor’s expert at fitting clothing to one’s unique dimensions. They always complete items with High quality finishing. They are prompt, often finishing items before I am able to make it back to their storefront. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always forthcoming with what miracles they can do, what is unrealistic, and what you can expect. You will never be disappointed if you use Tony the Tailor for your alteration

Very friendly, fast service for a good price. They expedited my winter jacket repair as the weather was getting very cold. Stitching was impeccable. Will definitely be bringing my tailoring here in the future!

Tony the Tailors does a wonderful job of making people feel welcome. I have used them for ongoing alterations, plus recently having some of my suits re-lined. The suits now are as good as new. In addition the dry cleaning services is well done, and I love that I get a text when I can pick up my items. I highly recommend them, and look forward to seeing them more once our offices reopen.

Everything from winter coats, silk dresses and cotton shirts - they can do it all! Perfect, high quality alterations every time with great suggestions to ensure the design of every piece is still intact. Their service is amazing - on time or ahead of schedule. The use of the text messages for pick up is a great way for communication. Beyond that, very kind, super professional and very knowledgable. A wonderful family run business - highly recommend!!

The staff was very friendly, explained what they were going to do, what the cost would be and how long it would take. We had brought an expensive suit to them to repair a few small holes. They did an excellent job. It was done on time and for a reasonable cost. We highly recommend them and will go to them again.

Excellent service at a competitive price! They totally transformed an old leather jacket that I thought was fated for the dumpster and then made it look brand new. Communication was excellent only surpassed by the quality of work. Thanks Tony the tailor!

I needed to get a suit tailored and drycleaned in a week. And boy, did they deliver!

The entire experience (start to finish) was great. They made it incredibly easy throughout the whole process, and even managed to finish my suit a day before I needed it! I would absolutely recommend coming here for any tailoring or drycleaning - not only were they friendly, but they ensured I was happy every step of the way. Can't ask for much better!

I live on 104 street so I wish I could return to this place, but I never will after the way we were treated today.

I had items of clothing altered last year and they did an ok job.

Today we phoned them to see if we could get my partner measured for a suit so that we could send the measurements home to Ireland for a wedding we are attending next month.

They told us to come in right away and they could do that for us.

We got there around 30 minutes later and told the old couple there that he was there to be measured. He got the filthiest look from the old woman, she looked disgusted! She just

Brought in a corduroy sport jacket that needed a fair amount of alteration work. The woman who pinned up the jacket was not very polite and made me feel like I had inconvenienced her by bringing her my business.

The place is out of my way but I went there because I had heard she was good. She did a good job on the alterations, but I wasn't too happy with how the staff behaved. I've found another great tailor who isn't so far out of my way and is much more courteous, so I probably won't ever go back to Tony the Tailor.
