Brian and his team made us look AMAZING at our wedding last year.I had my bridal alterations done by Brian, and he also outfitted my husband with a custom Bespoke tuxedo. After receiving the best customer service and attention to detail, I trusted Brian with the alterations for my mother’s gown and alterations for the bridal party.With each visit to his shop, we were treated like VIP customers! Brian always made sure we were taken care of, and his expert bridal seamstress, Arzoo, was fabulous and treated our garments with utmost care. Brian is truly a visionary and has impeccable taste. I even consulted with him on wedding design details and he was always gracious and happy to give his best recommendations. We definitely owe our entire “wedding look” to Brian and his team!What I valued most about my experience at Glenwood South Tailor is that Brian and his team treated us like family. It is very hard to find kind people who honestly care about their clients and are skilled in what they do. Brian and his team are the total package! They deliver top quality service, expertise, AND treat you like a VIP.I give Brian and his team at Glenwood South Tailor my highest recommendation. You will not go wrong working with them, and you can trust that they will have you looking GOOD for your event!!
Brian and the entire team at Glenwood South Tailors are quintessential professionals and I cannot recommend a better place to have a bespoke suit created. They have clearly earned mine and all these other 5 star reviews.The entire process was seamless (pun intended) from start to finish. Brian took the time to recommend options and ideas for my suit. We worked together over a few months to ensure everything fit just right and I was looking sharp for my big day.Im looking forward to being a life-time customer.
Brian and his team are wonderful. Years ago they saved the day with a last minute hem job hours before a wedding. We stopped by four other tailor shops attempting to get a last minute fix for one of the groomsmen, but nobody except Glenwood South Tailors was willing to accommodate our urgent need. Brian brought us right in, poured us bourbon, and had his experts hem the pants immediately. 5 star service with a smile. After this experience I had Brian build me a bespoke tuxedo. Again, 5 star service and i now have a high quality piece to last for years. Highly recommend to anyone in the Raleigh area. Thanks for everything!
I literally cannot recommend this place enough- Brian and his team are absolutely unparalleled at what they do! We went to Glenwood South Tailors for a custom womans suit. Brian made the design process feel fun and personal instead of overwhelming and his bubbly personality put us right at ease. His attention to detail is incredible and we were just so pleased with the final outcome, the suit fit like a dream and looked phenomenal!The shops communication is excellent and they are so easy to work with. Everything was done on time or early, even when we needed to move dates around.Bottom line: If you need wedding clothes tailored (dress or suit!), go here. If you need a custom suit, go here. If you need any tailoring whatsoever, GO HERE. You will not regret it.Thank you Brian and Co. for everything you do!
I admit that I was skeptical when my wife wanted me to go to a tailor shop to look for a new set of pants. I have a bad habit of buying clothes on sale, discounted, and have often compromised fit for price. Well, I have to say that I am very glad to have put my fashion fate into Brian’s hands. He knows what he is doing, and fit me for the best pair of pants I’ve ever owned. I mean, dang, they look good! And I don’t know how, but they feel awesome, and just different (better) than anything I’ve ever bought myself. This was the first bespoke pair of pants I’ve ever bought, but it won’t be my last. I highly recommend Glenwood South if you want to dress to impress. If he can make me look good, he can make you look great!
This was my first Bespoke suit and it turned out perfectly. Every step of the way I was informed and had all questions answered. The quality is unparalleled and the fit is fantastic. I really appreciate the effort the whole team put in and will absolutely return for another Bespoke suit. If you want an excellent suit this is the shop to visit.
Glenwood South Tailors did an amazing job with altering my wedding dress. They are very knowledgeable and accommodating. They made the whole experience fun for me and I would definitely go back here for future alterations. I also love the small environment, I as a customer felt heard and prioritized every time I went. The dress turned out perfect!
I’ve been going to Brian for a while for simple alterations but this was my first foray into having bespoke clothing made. I wanted to have an outfit made for a wedding rehearsal dinner and told Brian that I wanted to be the best dressed person at the event. I got that and so much more. Working with Brian to construct the outfit wasn’t just placing an order, it was an experience. Brian was deeply interested in making a jacket that fit my personality and would be a staple of my future wardrobe. He went over the top to make sure that it was all made on a very short turnaround and even surprised me with some very nice personal touches that referenced our conversation about our shared passion for timepieces. I had just purchased a personal grail watch, a Rolex Explorer, and told Brian about how much the history behind the watch connected with me, and Brian had the name of the watch, Explorer, embroidered under the back collar of the jacket in my favorite color orange. That blew me away that he remembered all the small things. It shows how much effort he puts into the work he does and into the relationships he makes with his clients. I highly recommend anyone go to Brian for any style needs.
My husband has been going to Brian for 4+ years now. Not only has he provided my husband with one of a kind pieces that are always conversation starters, but a wardrobe that is so versatile. Brian is not just a tailor, but an artist! He knows his clientele, he knows what accentuates their best traits, but most importantly he has a love for clothing and the power it has to make people feel special.He recently designed a Bespoke Jacket for my husband which has quickly become one of his favorite wardrobe pieces. His attention to detail allows his pieces to be so versatile, that they can be worn in both a business and casual setting.
Brain and his team went above and beyond for me! I came in for a Bespoke tuxedo for my wedding and during the initial meeting, Brian assisted me in selecting everything... from the material, buttons and cut to make this tux happen. I gave him full permission to design the tux and he nailed the final outcome. After a couple fittings, everything came out perfect for the big day. He also assisted in shoe selection to help complete the attire. Additionally, he went out of his way and drove an hour and half to personally deliver the cufflinks and braces. Great experience overall, I look forward to doing business again with Brian and his team again!
Growing up, my grandfather was a tailor. He was featured in GQ magazine in the 80’s. He tailored suits off of 32nd street in NY. That being said, I am very particular about who alters my suits.Glenwood South’s team always comes through for me, in fact they are the only people I trust with my suits and sports jackets.Words cannot express how grateful I am to have them here in Raleigh!!Almost every time I’ve come in it’s been a rush order and every time they have been able to adjust to my needs!Thanks guys, I will be back!
Hands down the best tailors in Raleigh. Brian makes off-the-rack look like made-to-measure. I never need to try on their work because I know its perfect. Every suit in my wardrobe that theyve done, I wear. Every suit some other place did, sits on my shelf.
Brian and team are very professional and have a great eye for fit! Highly recommend them for all your tailoring needs!
I would give these guys 6 stars if google allowed it.I had a tux-by-mail service send me the wrong sizes MULTIPLE times! I had a suit with two different length pant legs and a jacket with sleeves near my elbows. I only had a few days left until my event, so I gave Glenwood South Tailors a shot.Not only was Brian and team able to figure out where the service went wrong, but they were able to correct the mistakes. I could not have been happier with the result and I will definitely be a regular!
Glenwood South Tailors were fantastic! They tailored my wedding dress and made it fit like a glove! I feel stunning in it! Brian is so personable and makes you feel like he has known you for years. The seamstress could not have made the fit of my dress any more perfect! I highly recommend this tailor shop to anyone!
Just recently got a suit taken in and Annie and Brian did a fantastic job. They taught me some new things on what to look for in the future. I was absolutely floored by their customer service. I actually had an appointment at another tailor set for the day after which I ended up cancelling after my first interaction with Brian and Annie. They will be my go to spot moving forward. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks again!
Brian and team are an excellent source of styling information and have really took their time with me to start my bespoken closet at a foundational level. This is exactly what I needed being a busy IT Executive with no sense of style and limited time. I would recommend.
Brian and his team did an excellent job getting me sized and suited for my big day! Brian went above and beyond the call of duty even with him in the Carolinas and me in Texas. It was a seamless process and honestly the easiest part of planning the wedding. I would highly recommend Brian and his amazing team!!
I absolutely recommend this tailor to everyone! I had to get a dress hemmed for my sister’s wedding, and came in with less than a week to go. They finished my dress in 2 days, and it came out flawless. The owner made me feel at home from the start! I’m already planning to go back and get more things tailored. Best tailor in the triangle area!
Ive used Brian and Glenwood South Tailors numerous times to tailor my suits and dress slacks, yet I just took the plunge on a bespoke sport coat. The process was managed well--Brian met with my wife and me to understand what I was looking for, take measurements and select the fabric--and we are both very happy with the final product. It fits amazingly well and looks great, plus Ive already received a complement on it!
Absolutely loved working with Brian and his team! Would trust them again and again with my wedding dress. Incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely a joy to work with.
I am a muscular person and buying a comfortable elegant suit that fits me and doesnt look boxy is a huge challenge, which is why I decided to seek out a bespoke suit. To that end, my wife and I met with Brian (the owner) to discuss my suit requirements and preferences, we were promised flexible tailoring in terms of size and excellent, top-notch customer service. Their service starting out great which is why we decided to purchase a three-piece suit that costs $2000+. We started with a couple of iterations for size measurements, all looked good in the shop but when I actually wore the suit, the pants werent as comfortable or accommodating as desired.I reach out to Brian to tell him about the suit and along with other issues that came up with other purchases from their business. It has been more than two weeks now, and all I got was a reply from his assistant saying hell contact me back and never got back to me.Their service is unacceptable and not professional given the high-premium prices that they charge. My $2000+ bespoke suit is unwearable because I cant comfortably fit in it.This edit is in response to the owners comment:Brian,I reached out on Instagram before writing this review. I have been ignored for more than two weeks and that is not how clients should be treated.I am not trying to damage your business I am simply laying out what transpired.We have been very patient. I wanted a shirt for my wedding that I was guaranteed that I would get before my wedding day but ended up not having. You offered a complimentary shirt as an apology which I accepted in good faith but it seems that the pattern of not addressing my needs is repeating.I told you that I was not comfortable with my suit after I got to actually try it out outside of your shop (which I did convey in the review). I told you I do not have any mobility where I brought up the discomfort I experience putting on my socks and tying my shoes, sitting in the car, and getting up steps as examples of common actions performed while in a suit.I was VERY clear in our initial meeting that I wanted something comfortable that looked elegant and that I am currently less muscular due to COVID (Fall time) and that I am expecting an increase in size once everything opens back up. You responded by saying thats why you need a bespoke suit and we can make that easily happen and that all of my fits would be accommodated. Now that I want to have the adjustments done you are saying its not possible without suggesting any other options or alternatives.We have put a significant amount of money into your business and you should know by now that we do not want to damage your business during the pandemic or hurt your company since all of our alterations and purchases have taken place during the pandemic, which amounts to more than $2750. What is damaging and hurting your business is not responding to clients, making promises that cant be met, and missing deadlines.I do want to talk it out since I do not want a $2250 suit sitting in my closet unused and please address all of your correspondence to me and not my wife.If you feel that my requests and fits are beyond the capabilities of you or your shop (which, again, when we first started said could be easily accommodated), I will return the suit and ask for a full refund.Looking forward to hearing from youKameel
I’ve been here twice so far for alterations so a total of four visits, and each time has been fantastic. The owner, Brian, is so nice and helpful! He’s so welcoming and is ready to hype you up in anything you bring in. They’re efficient and well-priced. My two formal dresses were done so quickly that I was surprised to hear they were already ready! I’d 100% refer this tailor to anyone!
I just had my first tailoring experience ever and I must say it was incredible. Not only do my clothes fit like a glove (which has always been a challenge with my build) but the entire experience was filled with laughter and great conversation. Brian was engaging, asking us about our lives while he tailored my clothes like an artist working his magic on a canvas. I haven’t even seen the finished product yet, but I left with confidence and satisfaction.
Absolutely phenomenal! The entire business is top-notch. He walked me through the entire process of designing and producing the most perfect tuxedo for my wedding. Highly recommended for everyone!
I had five weeks to get a tux for wedding. I considered all options: rent, off the rack, made to measure, and bespoke. As a middle-aged man with 4 kids and many nieces and nephews, I decided to invest in owning one. I wanted fit, comfort, quality, and a reasonable price - all in a highly compressed timeline. High-end off-the-rack options like Tom Ford and Brioni cost $6K+, but fit would be an issue. I could save money with mid-tier brands like Hugo Boss and Zegna, but quality wouldn’t be as good and fit would still not be perfect. As for made to measure, there are a dizzying number of options, but 8 weeks is the minimum lead time, it’s a hard to know which are good, the fit is still standardized to a degree, and the cost is significant ($2K+ for Alton Lane, for example).After reading online reviews of Glenwood South Tailors, I decided to leave a message via the website to get bespoke pricing and turn-around time. Brian Burnett, the owner, called me that same day (a Sunday). For roughly $4,500, he said I could get a bespoke tux and shirt comparable in quality to a Brioni and delivered within my short timeline. Done.Brian fitted me the next day. He has an impeccable sense of style, so I just deferred to him on the myriad of details for a bespoke tux. From the jacket collar to the slant of the button holes, Brian selected what was appropriate for me.The suit fabric (super 130 wool) is made in Italy, but the cut and sew is done in Hong Kong by European-trained tailors. Brian’s in-house tailors do the final fit and finishing in his Raleigh studio.About a week before the wedding, Brian told me the tux had been held up at US customs in Cincinnati airport for over a week and may not arrive in time. Bummer. But, Brian drove to DC (during the recent gas crisis no less) to procure an alternate for me to wear for the wedding. Few suiting suppliers would do this.Brian fitted me for the alternate tux (a decent off the rack one) and told me I could keep it for the trouble. When I returned for the final fitting, two days before the wedding, Brian surprised me with the bespoke tux. Somehow he got it from US customs.Even without the final alternations, the tux and shirt felt incredibly comfortable, like soft pajamas. No suit I’ve ever owned felt this way. The tux also features many personal details that Brian selected based on our conversations. To name a few: my first initial embroidered on the collar, year I met my wife embroidered on the shirt cuff, Duke blue trouser buttons and button-hole lining to signify my alma mater.Brian and his team worked into the early morning hours to finish the tux. Then, Brian himself drove the tux 6 hours to the wedding venue and personally delivered it to me as my wife and I were checking into the hotel.I couldn’t be more pleased with the fit, quality, and style of the tux that Brian designed. But equally important is the level of service I experienced. It surpassed my expectations.
I reached out to Glenwood South Tailors a month ago regarding a suit that needed some alterations. Brian and his team were terrific. I received an email confirmation of my appointment and a text 24 hours before my appointment as soon as I stepped out of the dressing room, Brian and his team sharing information regarding the fit. Before leaving the shop, Bryan gave me a date that the suit would be ready, and I received a text a day two before the date. The jacket and pants fit perfectly after being altered. The customer service was top-notch. I highly recommended GST for bespoke suiting and alterations.
Ellen is AMAZING! She worked on my wedding dress. I highly recommend her! My dress fits like a glove and is so beautiful. The customer service has room for improvement, as the assistants never returned my calls, but usually the owner would return my e-mails. It is very pricey, I was told to expect around 20% of the cost of my wedding dress to be the cost of basic alterations (hemming, bustle, and get taken in). The total cost of alterations totaled 75% of the cost of my dress. The owner did attend 2/3 of my appointments to ensure I was pleased with the alterations, I appreciated that very much. It showed me that he cared about his business and clients. I would highly recommend other brides to visit Ellen for bridal alterations (as Ive already recommended someone), but I do recommend to ask about pricing at the consultation, so they dont get shocked at each appointment like I did.
I had an amazing experience with Glenwood South Tailors. I worked closely with Ellen. She was professional, kind and delicate with my dress which meant a lot to me! It was a very very detailed dress and she helped make the alterations experience so easy and relaxing. With everything going on, there was a shorter timeframe to get everything completed for our October wedding and they made it very stress-free by completing it so quickly and in just 3 total visits! Could not recommend them enough!!!
There is no other tailor shop like this in the triangle, and all of North Carolina, as far as I’m concerned. Brian and his team give you the full service. You don’t need to know a thing about style or fit - just let them do the work. I’ve had three full suits and three jackets tailored by them. I cannot overstate how pleased I’ve been with each and every job. Highly recommend.
This place is amazing. I had a non-traditional wedding gown that they were able to convert and make PERFECT. I had 2 other seamstresses cancel on me, so I ended up here due to a Google search and a prayer that it would work out. They made all the alterations and the dress was exactly what I wanted all with time to spare! I will take all my tailoring and alterations here from now on!
Just got my second piece of clothing back from Glenwood South Tailors and was extremely pleased with their work once again! Annie and Brian are awesome and they did a great job.
Ive been coming to see Brian and GSTA for several years and cant recommend him enough. He helped me upgrade many items after I got in better physical shape, he helped upgrade my wardrobe for civilian work when I left the military, and now has crafted an immaculate bespoke piece. His passion and thoughtfulness is abundant in all of his work. Hes understood my personal preferences for fit and style, and without me having to do any heavy lifting in describing what I want, he nails it. Even when were pushing sartorial boundaries, hes taken me there in a way that makes sense for the individual, balancing classic style with modern and custom accents. Dont go to the dry cleaner alterations shop or off-the-rack clothier ever again, its worth every penny to work with Brian and GSTA
I found this place to take in my bridesmaids dress pretty last minute, and I’m so glad I found them! They were so nice and helpful, especially Linda. They made suggestions for my dress (adding straps, fixing the hem that had been altered previously), and I got my dress back way sooner than expected! I highly recommend this place!
Top notch service, professional atmosphere and peerless expertise. Ive already referred several friends here.
Got a suit from Brain and Glenwood South team a few weeks back. Excellent quality and craftsmanship with a great eye for detail. The scheduling was a little tough but the team did a great job managing everything especially with this ongoing pandemic.
If I could give this business a million stars, I would. The people that work here are exceedingly friendly, talented, and professional. They explain everything theyre doing while theyre doing it and really try to work with you to make sure you get exactly what you came in for.The first time we went to them, it was around a week before my wedding and my fiance hadnt tailored his suit yet. His groomsmen also needed a hand with some last minute alterations. Brian and his team really stepped up to the plate and made sure that everyone looked amazing, including one person who, if I remember correctly, needed alterations literally a day before the event. It was such a relief to know they could accommodate us with a smile. Ever since then, we dont even entertain going to a different tailor. These guys are awesome! If youre looking for alterations to normal, every day clothing, as well as changes to clothing for bigger events, rest assured they can handle anything.
Highly recommend Brian and Company! They built an amazing bespoke suit and sport coat for my wedding! Multiple trips to the house to fit my schedule and everything turned out amazing!
Brian is top notch. I just recently purchased a bespoke jacket and love it! He really cares about the quality of his work and makes sure that the client leaves happy. I would highly recommend Brian for any of your tailoring needs in the Raleigh area. He’s also a great local businessman who is active in the community.
Brian created two sportscoats and a suit for me. The best clothes I own.That guy is a genius at his craft.
A few friends recommended I bring my wedding dress here for alterations, and I’m so glad I did. The whole team was amazing - they’re professional, knowledgeable, and fun to work with! The dress looks great and I’ll definitely come back for other alteration needs!
I had my wedding dress alterations done by Ms. Ellen and she was fantastic and did an incredible job! I knew nothing about the alterations process and had heard horror stories, but Brian, Linda, and Ellen treated me like family and answered all my questions. Brian and his team know what theyre doing and now I wont go anywhere else. You can trust Brian, his opinion and his expertise. The best experience hands down! I am so happy! Thank you!
Great service by professional staff.
I brought in an off the rack, clearance suit that was too big and they turned it into the best fitting suit I have ever owned. Throughout the entire process I was told what I should be looking for in a suit and how they would alter it to make it look its best. The personalized service from the entire staff made the experience professional and enjoyable. I could not be happier with the final product. Definitely going back when I need another alteration.
We had the BEST experience with Brian and team! I had my wedding dress altered here and my fiancé had a bespoke suit made and we couldnt have been happier with the service and quality! You wont find a nicer or more qualified team!!!
Being this place is upstairs in an unassuming building I was very pleasantly surprised by how great it looked inside. The staff was extremely nice and professional. I had two suits tailored and they turned out great. I plan to go back for my wedding party when it gets closer to time. Also I learned they have a separate bridal suite for my fiancee and her bridesmaids.
Cant recommend this place enough!I downloaded their mobile app, which made it easy to setup an appointment for measurements. They gave me a great price on custom tailoring for two suits, and didnt flinch on my two-day turnaround request. I was surprised and a little anxious about that....They contacted me directly on my pickup day to let me know I was on schedule. The owner was in the store when I arrived, greeted me by name, and made sure I was happy with the alterations - which were expertly done and fit wonderfully. It was one of those unexpectedly delightful experiences, from start to finish.This place really went above and beyond to meet my needs. I will definitely be coming back!
Brian, Ellen and the whole crew at this shop are amazing!! They went above and beyond for my wedding dress. I received my dress about 9 weeks before the wedding and it was huge and a whole lot of dress. After being turned down by multiple places I was referred to them! They guaranteed to have my dress the way I wanted it by the big day! Let me tell you, they did some extensive work to this dress including 11 bustles for my dress and it was absolutely beautiful! Tears of happiness during my appointment for such an amazing crew. They listened to everything i wanted and had me at ease during the whole process! I would trust them with an tailor job out there. Thank you for a great experience
Brian is amazing, he’s very personable and professional. His passion for his work is evident in all his garments. I highly recommend to anyone looking for bespoke garments.
Brian and his entire team are incredible. This is the best tailor in Raleigh hands down.The suits I have received back from Glenwood South Tailors look incredible, and feel even better. I wear a suit almost everyday and there is no substitute for the quality they provide.If you ever consider a tailor for any reason this place will not disappoint.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this shop. I was referred to Glenwood South Tailors by a friend when looking for someone to alter my wedding dress. There was so much work that needed to be done to make the dress fit and Ellen did a fantastic job! I loved going to each appointment because I knew it would include bourbon and lots of laughter. Thanks to Brian, Ellen and everyone for adding 70+ buttons to the back of my dress and for swapping out the belt on my dress at the last minute.
Brian, Ellen, and the whole team are fantastic!! They make you feel special and did a WONDERFUL job on my wedding dress and my husbands suit. We will definitely be life long customers and I cant recommend Glenwood South Tailors enough. Thank you so much for everything.
Glenwood South Tailors did an amazing job on my wedding dress - Ellen is wonderful and has such a strong attention to detail, she will make sure everything is perfect!
Brian and Ellen really go above and beyond with not only their tailoring skills but also their customer service. Brian went out of his way to make sure my wedding dress was perfect. My dress fit perfectly! I’ll definitely be going back to get other pieces altered.
Brian is truly an artist with a flare for fashion and fine tailoring. If you want your clothes altered with precision and for sound advice, whether it is your wedding day or a normal work day, I highly recommend Glenwood South Tailors!
Brian and his team were terrific. Knowledgeable, friendly, and they all want you to leave happy. I would highly recommend them. Thanks for the great experience.
Brian was amazing to work with. I wanted to have a movie like experience with that would be fun and memorable and he delivered in spades. From the beginning he was great with communication and accommodated what we were asking for. He went above and beyond to make our fitting a unique and awesome day. He has a great energy and is an absolute pleasure and a blast to be around and work with. We trusted him to know all of the details and provide us with great options and he did exactly that. I am so excited to see how our suits come out for my wedding and am excited to continue working with him through the process. I would highly recommend him as the person to go to when you are looking to get a customized and incredible experience. Business wise, he is extremely professional, great with communication and able to anticipate our needs and deliver on making our requests happen so that there is no stress involved. Absolutely pleased about everything! Thanks Brian!
I found this shop last year through Google reviews and will never go anywhere else for tailoring. I have had many so-so experiences with other tailors, but Brian and the team at Glenwood South make the experience easy and personal...and my suits come out looking great. He is very honest when assessing suits and explains his reasoning for tailoring decisions along the way.In addition to the actual tailoring experience being phenomenal, Brian also goes the extra mile to make sure I am confident with the entire look. After asking for shoe recommendations yesterday during a tux fitting, Brian followed-up with a message today to make sure I had the right ones.
Simply the best in the business. If you need tailoring at its best, look no further than Glenwood South Tailors. I recommend you book and appointment rather than walk in. Give the best a chance to give you their undivided attention. Theyre nice people too.
The best of the best! You won’t find a better tailor or clothier anywhere else. I mean anywhere! Not just in Raleigh, NC, but anywhere! I wear suits everyday of the week, and I rarely find someone that’s more particular about their clothes than I am. I’ve been to numerous tailors in numerous cities, and nobody is on the same level as Brian Burnett and his amazing staff at Glenwood South Tailors. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. Brian and his staff have the knowledge, expertise, and talent to work magic on your clothes. And the most important part, they stand by their work. If even the slightest things isn’t to your liking, they’ll make it right. Customer relations and quality of work are at the forefront of their business model, and that’s why they’ve set the new standard for tailors and clothiers. They are literally next level! When it comes to rating Glenwood South Tailors, they’re a 10 out of 10 in every category you could imagine.
I have used several tailor shops across the nation and I can say that Brian and his team are by far the best! Brian also used his expertise to make me look my best in a bespoke suit. During the consultation, Brian provided a very relaxed environment with laughs while maintaining a classy professionalism you cant get anywhere else. Keep up the great work, Brian!
Brian is the best. I brought my bridesmaid dress there for my sister’s wedding. Not only did he do a perfect job on the tailoring, but he was personable and fun. From the minute I met him I felt that I was being taken care of and he truly cared about me and my needs. I would recommend anyone and everyone to work with Brian. I think once you do, you’ll never go anywhere else. PS- he went above and beyond and had my dress dropped off at the cleaners to be steamed bc I couldn’t get out of work!!
I just moved to Raleigh in July and needed to find a new tailor. After asking around, 2 people strongly recommended Brian. I got my custom-made bridesmaid dress altered here about 2.5 weeks before the wedding. I was super nervous about it... I was cutting it close, and it was a custom dress. But I just picked it up yesterday and it was absolutely PERFECT. Ready on time, on the day that we agreed on, and nothing needed to be fixed. Brian & the other employees working there are super friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be returning with other items to be altered!! Cannot recommend enough.
Glenwood tailors were highly recommended by a friend. I had a suit that needed tailoring took it there. I picked it up today and I was blown away on how perfect it fit. So much attention to detail. Professional staff, very personable, and absolute perfect results.
I chose Glenwood South Tailors for my wedding dress, and I could not be more pleased with my experience. This is a small local business that truly gets to know and care about their customers. Brian and everyone else in the office is so personable! Ellen has a great eye for detail and did fantastic work on my dress (that really needed a lot!). They also utilize great communication between appointments and answered any questions that I had, even down to providing my mom with a tutorial for hooking/unhooking the bustle! I will no doubt go here for any and all tailoring needs in the future.
Just got my first two bespoke jackets and slacks back. Cant say enough about the quality and craftsmanship. Brian is truly a master tailor and knows how to shepherd you through the entire process. Hands down the best bespoke & tailoring experience I have come across. If youre thinking about custom....Make sure you go visit Brian and his team.
This is the first time that I have ventured into the world of bespoke clothing, and I cant imagine a better experience. Brian and his team have taken the time to understand what Im looking for, how I will use the clothes, and how they make me feel. Brian also was able to transform several pieces of clothing that I already had from just ok to fits like a glove. The process from start to finish has been great, and I would not hesitate to recommend Brian and the team at Glenwood South to anyone.
I am BEYOND happy with the work Glenwood South tailors has done for me. I bought my dream wedding dress in the last size available which was too small. They worked some actual magic and made it fit amazingly. Not only that, but I was trying on my dress a week before my wedding and I stupidly ripped the lace on my sleeve and they fixed it for me last minute. I am forever thankful to the entire team for helping me out during what could have been an extremely stressful time before my big day. You will be in incredible hands with them!
I brought my wedding dress here for alterations and they did a really amazing job and went above-and-beyond. Throughout the process Brian and Ellen were great at explaining what needed to be done and explaining different options (such as bustle options). Alteration appointments were enjoyable--they have a great rapport with customers.My wedding was unfortunately cancelled/posponed due to COVID. As NC entered phase 2, some last-minute elopement plans materialized. Although Glenwood South Tailors had just reopened a the Friday before my Sunday elopement, they worked extra hours and rushed some alterations so that I could wear my actual dress on the day. I knew this was a bit of a long shot, but everyone there was so accommodating and understanding for a pretty out-there request.On day-of dress looked perfect. I couldnt believe how much they worked with me to accommodate my actual wedding dress for a mostly last-minute elopement.I had a weird experience due to COVID, but I would totally recommend Glenwood South to anyone getting wedding dress alterations!
Incredible service! 10/10 would recommend Glenwood South Tailors for any tailoring/ alterations/bespoke suits/and more. Brian and his team (Linda, Kiet, CK, and all the other wonderful people we have seen but not managed to catch their name) go above and beyond to make sure you leave completely satisfied!My fiancé ordered a bespoke suit from Glenwood South Tailors for our wedding this year. Because of Covid, our plans changed and the entire team worked incredibly hard to get us his suit two months earlier than originally planned. They checked on shipping and kept us updated on any changes made throughout the entire process. GST does not just sell you a suit and let you go. They involve you in the whole process and are just as excited to see you in your suit as you are! They pour their hearts into the fabric and it shows in all the subtle details and perfect fit. Any questions you have about suits and clothes are answered professionally and with added tips and suggestions to really bring your wardrobe to life! They worked with us to make a Pinterest board and provided recommendations for shoes and cuff links that my fiancé could pair for our wedding, a job interview, a business meeting, etc.The whole staff is supportive and encouraging and make you feel like VIP, whether you’re getting jeans hemmed or a custom suit or your dream wedding dress altered. This place is worth every penny and we won’t go anywhere else!
This is the only place I will take my suits to be tailored and altered in the Raleigh-Durham area. Brian and his team are first class when it comes to their professionalism, their helpfulness, and especially their craftsmanship (prices and wait times arent bad either!). I highly suggest you check them out!***NEW 2020 Review***I was overdue for some new suits, and instead of going to a retail store, buying a one size fits all, I went with Brian and his fantastic team at Glenwood South for two custom made bespoke suits. I chose them over everyone else, number one, because of the quality and detail they put into all their bespoke suits (theyre incredible - from the fit, to the look). Number two, the customer service - their wonderful team will help guide you through the whole process, especially if youre a first time buyer, or not quite sure what youre looking for. Lastly, number three, the customer experience. I cant stress enough on how well they took care of me, made sure everything looked and fit to my liking, all during this crazy year were having! Do yourself a favor, if youre looking for a new suit (bespoke may I add), I would recommend seeing Brian and his team before you go anywhere else!
I hired Glenwood South Tailors to make me a custom tailored tuxedo for my wedding that was last week. I live in Charlotte and it was definitely worth the trip. The customer service as well as the personalized touch on every single piece of my tuxedo was definitely the best I’ve experience in a long time. My first few visits was in Raleigh, NC to begin the process but the best thing was my final tuxedo was hand delivered directly to my house in Charlotte. The staff during the entire processs was very nice and was available to talk and answer all of my questions. They even gave me recommendations on what would mesh well with the type of tuxedo I wanted. The final product was amazing to say the least and I was extremely satisfied and everyone wanted to know where I got my tuxedo at my wedding. I would definitely hire again in the future for any custom tailoring.Best experience ever!
Not only did they do a great job with my suit and my groomsmen’s suits for my wedding but when my brother flew in from the Arctic Circle they worked with us to get his suit adjusted and ready for my big day with a rush order. Can’t say enough good things about the quality of their work, the friendliness of their staff and their professionalism. Candace gets a 10/10!! She explained every adjustment and asked questions on preference the whole time!! Will always come here for any tailoring needs!!
Love my wedding gown!! Ellen did an amazing job bustling the dress so it looked so elegant. She had to do about 50 pins and ties for the three under layers to make beautiful under bustles! I know she sewed all those by hand and I cannot express how appreciative I am! Natalie and Ellen both helped explain how to do the bustles as I am getting married out of town and needed a video for my mom and sister. Love love love everything about my dress and cannot wait until 7.29.17 to get married! Will post photos after the wedding!
I’ve bought custom suits/shirts many times before, but Brian takes “custom” to a whole new level. It’s like I was used to riding in a Mercedes and then I experienced a Rolls-Royce. I look, feel, and act different when I’m wearing my suit, my posture is even better! I’m genuinely happy with not only the product that I received, but the EXPERIENCE that I had along the way. I had a consultation where Brian not only got a sense of what I like to wear, but of who I am and what’s important to me. I trust that whatever he recommends is the right “fit” for me, in more ways than just the measurements.Highly highly recommend this place to anyone, especially those seeking the very best in class and quality.
Best tailor I have been to. Very chill environment and Brian was great to work with. He was very knowledgeable and professional. They were able to fit me in no problem and the measurements/fitting was really quick. The end result was great. I got two blazers altered and they fit perfect afterwards. Prices were very reasonable and well worth it given the quality of the work and experience. I will not be going anywhere else.
Wonderful service. They come right to your house and deliver back to you. Brian is a gifted tailor and made my husband a bespoke suit. It looks fantastic on him.
Brian was wonderfully welcoming as soon as we walked in. He and his team tapered some jeans for my daughter. Brian knew interpreted exactly how my teenage daughter wanted her jeans to fit. Not only are very pleased with the quality of the work but we are equally as pleased because the work was done in the exact amount of time that was told to us. We will definitely be returning ! Thanks Glenwood South Tailors!!I just recently went back to have my wedding dress fitted with Natalie. She did a wonderful job. Natalie made me feel right at home and fitted my dress perfectly. Not only was it fitted perfectly, but it was also completed in the exact time they said it would be. Thank you Natalie and team for making the alteration process so easy!!
Everything about this experience is amazing. Candace is such a professional. Im just starting to transition from off the rack suits to made to measure and she is giving me great advice as we dial-in my fit. Im going to continue coming to Glenwood South Tailors as long as shes there!
Thank you to Brian and his team for the amazing work theyve done and continue to do for me. I hope everyone reading this review chooses to do business with Glenwood South Tailors and Alterations for all of your tailor, alteration and/or custom suit needs.The picture I shared is from my best friends wedding, which I nicknamed the potato sack from Hell, that Brian so skillfully transformed into an extremely flattering garment.I also want to acknowledge Natalie, who was instrumental in reducing my bridal gown two sizes to make it the perfect fit for me! As a bride, I understand the love a woman has for her gown, and Natalies talent and perfectionist nature came through for the win.Final shout out to Amy because I just love her!Brians business is the best, and Im going to tell you exactly why.. :) They accommodate me with complete respect to my schedule, and they meet my needs in a timely fashion. I get texts and emails confirming appointments, which I super appreciate. With each series of appointments, I meet with the same team member(s) so my experience is always consistent, and the work is carried out with the utmost quality. The services are priced very fairly. Custom suits are their specialty, so for some garments, such as my bridal gown, the services are priced a bit under market. Make no mistake, the work is not cheap. Ive entrusted them with about $2500 worth of garments since meeting them in July, and theyve done outstanding work. The atmosphere is fun-loving, good energy, and the people treat you like family. I highly recommend Glenwood South Tailors and Alterations!
Absolutely thrilled with my custom suit from Glenwood South Tailors! The whole team worked together to deliver an awesome result very quickly. Candace, Kiet, and Kendra were all super helpful and made sure my suit fit perfectly and had absolutely no flaws. Thank you so much! I’ll be back.
Brian and his team are absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I cant say enough about their friendly service, fun personalities, and outstanding skills. They altered my wedding dress, FULL of beads and it looks absolutely stunning. I cant wait to work with you again soon (theyre altering my rehearsal jumper and fiances suit too!). Thank you, thank you for having FUN with me during this process! Yall rock.
This is a long overdue review because Brian and his team are really just top-notch. I am 7 ft tall and lets just say, it can be hard to find cloths that fit but are also trendy. Brian worked with me to help make my clothes fit the way they should and look great! I am so thankful for his consultative approach, because lets face it, I dont always know what I am doing. They take great care in their work and I am very proud to say that he will have my business for years to come!
I recently discovered Glenwood South Tailors + Alterations and have been extremely happy with my experience. They are conveniently located near downtown and Cameron Village. Brian is very professional and friendly and he does great work. He has a great sense of style and knowledge of current fashion trends. My orders are always completed on time and the pricing is very reasonable. I have used tailors in both Atlanta and Chicago and Glenwood South Tailors + Alterations is the best of all tailors Ive dealt with. I highly recommend Glenwood South Tailors + Alterations. Five stars!
Ive been here a few times and as a young professional I would highly recommend Brian and his team to anyone looking to gain a leg up on their professional attire. Brian is quick and provides a great experience custom to each client. I unfortunately am moving and hope to find someone like Brian for my future tailoring needs.
I was very pleased with the service and the communication. My suit looks and fits great! This is my first bespoke suit and I will return for another. Thanks for a great experience.
Brian and his team are the best! They hooked me up with custom made suits for my wedding in April. The precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were second to none. Not only were the suits perfectly tailored but the detail that Brian put into customizing each suit for myself and my groomsmen to show our personal style and to differentiate each of our suits in awesome, subtle ways. I’d recommend Glenwood South Tailors for any type of custom suits as well as any tailoring and alterations. Doesn’t get any better in Raleigh.
Brian and his team came in and saved the day at the last minute when I needed rushed alterations for my wedding dress (the dress came in late from the designer and our wedding was literally 2 weeks away!). Not only did they do an impeccable job, but they also made the entire experience so personable and fun. I would trust them with any of my alterations and can’t say enough good things!
Brian and team did a fantastic job with my jackets. Had them sitting on the shelf because I didn’t like how they fit, but after working their magic I have only traveled with those jackets for business the last 2 weeks. Have some suits that are going to be on deck soon! Get your wardrobe over there ASAP! Best choice you can make to step up your game.
I dont know if Jesus is coming back but if he did and asked me where to get his robes tailored Id definitely say at Glenwood South Tailors. Brian, Ellen, and Natalie could not have been more helpful, thoughtful, fairly-priced, and fun to meet with. They took my situation (needed to look great in a short amount of time) and worked extra to make sure my suit would be ready in time. Theyre amazing and I will be bringing ALL my business to them and would advise you (and Jesus, if the situation presented itself) to do the same.
Excellent service! I went to Glenwood South Tailors desperate after having a pair of pants butchered by another tailor with my wedding less than 2 weeks away. They were able to get me in and turn around a perfectly tailored pair of pants very quickly. Excellent pricing for high quality work- I will highly recommend this little shop to any and everyone!
Brian and the team is amazing! They know how to dress and style people the best way possible. I have ordered several suits from Brian and they have surpassed my expectations every time. I would never go anywhere else.
I found Glenwood South Tailors + Alterations when I signed up for a mobile tailoring appointment offered at my office, and Im so glad I did! Brian arrived professional, personable, and knowledgeable concerning all of the options available for my clothing items. During my most recent appointment I requested hemming of a pair of flared jeans while preserving the original hem. Brian delivered the jeans to my office (with amazing turnaround time) and the alteration work was flawless, resulting in a perfect fit. With every consecutive appointment Im continuously blown away by their quality work, superb service, and convenience. Im already planning my next appointment!
Nice shop with excellent service! Needed a quick turnaround on some alterations for a business suit and after visiting two other tailors who were unable to accommodate, I found Glenwood South Tailors. They were very thorough and were able to make additional recommendations that set me up with the perfect fit. After completing the alterations, they followed up with me a few days later to make sure all of my expectations were met. Highly recommend!!
I live and work on W. Johnson Street and Glenwood South Tailors is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. I needed an expensive dress to be hemmed within 4 days to meet a wedding celebration deadline. Brian, the owner, understood the fashion emergency and said he would have it ready before the weekend at a very reasonable price. The very next day he hand delivered my dress to my office, much to my surprise. Now that is exceptional customer service! This tailor shop will be receiving all of my tailoring business.
Brian is the man. One alteration and Ive decided to switch tailors to him for good! Lengthened surgeon cuffs (one arms a bit longer than the other) on a tuxedo jacket, added an extra vanity button, and took in a sides slightly for a perfect fit.The best part? I didnt have to tell him what to do, he knew. Thats new for me and a welcome change. Trust his eye and youll love the results.
Men do not dress like men anymore.They dress like boys who can shave.Glenwood South Tailors + Alterations specialize in the creation and customization of fine art.Reminiscent of a time when men knew how to take care of themselves, Brian laces each garment that he alters or creates with the nostalgia and stardust of yesteryear.When properly dressed in garments that are crafted to *your* figure, Glenwood South Tailors + Alterations produce a final product that gives you the subtle swagger of a modern renaissance man.For the sake of elegance, give Glenwood South Tailors + Alterations a call.Get customized.For yourself, for Raleigh, for elegance.Cheers,BT
