To know Armen is to love Armen. What a find. It's so difficult to find good tailors anymore since it is a dying craft. I would say that Armen is a funny character and also a savvy business man. I think his prices are on par with other tailors but don't hold me to that since I don't have a lot of experience.
He was able to alter 2 suits and 2 gowns for me in expedited time! I didn't even know he did womens wear. My gown was sequin, and it came out great. We brought in a tuxedo bought somewhere else, and he didn't try and push a sale of one of his own. I don't want to suggest bringing in last minute work, but if you do need it - he's your guy. Unless it's prom or wedding season, then you're just sol!
All in all, I highly recommend Armen if you don't mind trekking up to Manyunk. I didn't want to go into the city and be treated like second rate citizens. Very happy with his work!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Christian R.Bethel Park, PA4182214Mar 11, 2020
I have purchased several suits, blazers, and more from Armen along with tons of tailoring! I can speak both highly of his customer service, and also, to Armen as an individual. I always enjoy going into his shop knowing that I will be well taken care of, but also to check up on a friend and have a good conversation.
There is something very comforting about buying your clothes from someone you can trust. This experience is a lot different than going to a chain or a big box store. The experience is customized since he gets to know you and has great style!
Thank you so much, Armen!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ryan O.Philadelphia, PA385Aug 14, 2019
By chance I was in a wedding party that Armen supplied and tailored groomsmen suits for around 5 years ago. The suit he tailored for me was affordable and fit PERFECTLY. Since then, he's supplied and tailored suits for more than 5 of my close friends wedding parties - including my very own. Over the years I've accumulated a little under 20 suits from Armen and not once purchased outside of his store. He provides an excellent product with great pricing and truly takes care of loyal customers. I highly recommend Armen - he's the BEST.

Armen was referred to me by one of my buddies who swore by him. I gotta say armens shop did not disappoint in anyway. I am slim and tall at 6,7 he got me in a suit that was at his shop and was able to make good judgement on a suit without having to buy it first (troubles of being tall). His hospitality was great made you feel welcome as soon as you got into the shop. Long story short I got my suit couldn't be happier and have recommended friends and family to Armen sij

Armen is extraordinary. My new Italian-made (he stocks in-house) suit fits me so well, and looks so good on me, all my Main Line friends believe I paid thousands for it.
His needle-work is sublime, flawless stiching. Armen is a MASTER, in a World full of pretenders claiming to be "expert tailors".
No custom tailor I've ever used, can compare; every stitch and seam perfect. I thought this Old-World craftsmenship died years ago.
When in the shop, a customer from New York came in to pick-up two suits Armen altered. The two suits were hand-made in Italy, costing over $7,500.00. They come in from New York to avail themselves of his masterful, talented craftsmanship. How Armen came to be in Manyunk, I'll never understand, but I, for one, am thrilled he's here. Only one word describes Armen, BRAVO!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Trevor B.New Brunswick, NJ09May 31, 2019
Fantastic service and Armin knew exactly what I wanted. First tailored suit and I was impressed. Was in and out within 30 minutes with a suit pick and ready for pickup within a few days. I'll be back again

I've been a loyal customer of Armen's since I moved to Philly in 2016. He has tailored my dresses, pants, and more, always professionally and quickly. On one occasion, I needed a dress altered for an event the next day and he got it done without so much as a scoff that I needed it so last minute! I have recommended him to many of my friends and colleagues who are now also repeat customers. You won't be disappointed.

I recently brought a new dress into Armen's for some basic alternations (the chest and waist needed to be taken in a little). It's been over 4 years since my last visit for bridesmaid dress alteration and Armen said he recognized me. I feel like that was forever ago and he must see a ton of people, but it was flattering nonetheless.
The entire process was a breeze. I tried on the dress, he measured me, I paid and he told me when to come back. The dress was supposed to be ready after 5:00 on our specified day, but I gave a call around noon was able to pick it up a few hours early. He did a great job with the alterations and now the dress fits me perfectly.
In terms of pricing, I'm really not sure where Armen's Custom Tailor stacks up. I just know that I trusted him with my dress and that's well worth what I paid.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
