Akram Tailor

Tailor

My experience comes from Barneys, Prada & the business trip to Italy to learn how to tailor for Prada, Jil Sander, Brioni, Giorgio Armani's clothes, Lanvin, St. Croix, Hugo Boss, J. Toor and Marc Jacobs. I've brought business to these places, made great companions and many of my customers know me from these places.

My name is Akram Yousif, and I've been working in my field for 20 years and recently started my own business. I am an out going family man trying to bring the best to my family, I hope to meet new faces as well as greet old ones and grow as a business. Read more

    Akram is great when I bring in an item that I know doesn't fit well, but I can't figure out what needs to be fixed. He's tailored pants, skirts, dresses, suits, and jackets and all come out looking and feeling custom made. He's a bit pricey and only takes cash, but has been worth the cost and seems on par with the area. Turnaround is always two weeks. I've only had one hem come undone after he did it and he re-hemmed at no charge.

    I just returned with 2 full suitcases of clothes I brought to Chicago for a week of client meetings. One suitcase for the meetings and the other filled with clothes to be altered! I brought them to Akram on Monday and received a text that they were all done while at dinner on Thursday night! I mean, a suit, 7 pairs of jeans, 5 pairs of dress pants and all done like they were custom made! I will NEVER take my clothes to anyone else...ever! By the way, I live in Boston and yes, he's that good and but an even nicer person!

    Akram is the best Tailor in the city! I work for a luxury brand who specializes in garments made in France and Italy and we will not trust anyone else with our pieces. He has done perfect and incredible work every single time, for over 2 years and is quick and extremely dependable. He can do things with clothing that I didn't know was possible! I also use him for my personal pieces. Don't waste your time with anyone else.
