Ban Custom Tailor

?BUYER BEWARE! Ban the tailor is a totally dishonest man - and arrogant in his belief that his customers are stupid! I asked him to enlarge the waistband of a new pin-striped skirt ........... we agreed that he would use the fabric inside the waistband and then replace it with a solid fabric. The fee was $75.00. When I picked up the skirt I noticed that the waistband inside was untouched but that the fabric used to enlarge it was identical. I asked him where he got the fabric and he replied "I had it". Puzzled, I asked him a second time and he gave me the same answer. Further, he charged me a sales tax and when I protested, he insisted it was legal. When I got home I turned the skirt inside out and discovered that he had cut into the sides of an inverted pleat (leaving it hanging free of the waistband) leaving the fabric raw and likely to unravel. I also checked and learned that alterations are not taxed. I returned to the shop and confronted him and all he said was "I'm sorry". When I said I would notify the NYC tax bureau he returned the tax. He ruined my skirt and cheats the city while collecting taxes ................ be warned...............he lies! more

One week ago, I urgently needed a suit for wedding ceremony. So, I had to buy new suit for special event! But, I don't have enough time to order well-fitted suit at any tailor shop. As I really wanted to get personalized suit for me, I didn;t want to buy ready-made suit. By the way, Ban's shop saved me fortunately. He made a suit for me in 3 days. Finally, I could attend in ceremony wearing Ban's suit!! I'll never forget this delighted memory! more

Best Tailor in Manhattan, I don't have a basis for comparison, having never been to any other tailors in this places. But I don't need to. Ban has always been nothing but friendly, providing high quality service to me ever since I bought my first suit when I was in high school. He works quickly, and does a very good job. He knows what he is doing (the most important thing) and does it with a smile on his face. P.S. He also gives great fashion advice in case you need it. more
