Wonderful service! They tailored a pea coat for me on the spot and personally wrapped the coat as it was a gift.

I was recently laid off and need to hit the interview trail again. You may not think you need a suit in these days of LinkedIn applications and video interviews but feeling your best in a 20-year-old blazer and sweats cannot be faked.
So when I called around to bespoke tailors in town, a new custom suit was going to be at least $2000! I thought, well maybe there's some bespoke zoom filters that remove 75 pounds and dress me to the nines.
Luckily I remembered the OG Indy tailor Leon Tailoring. Walking in their expansive shop was like walking back in time, when there was a men's haberdashery on every corner and a porter named Chesapeake to your coat at the door. Okay that might be too far so think MadMen with today's latest styles. My guy Norman said he could fit my large belly and narrow shoulders into an off-the-rack suit in year-round wool for less than $1000. That included two fittings and adjustments.
Free was Norman arguing with his fellow salesman over a pricing estimate. They sounded like an old married couple arguing over who said what, when in reality they each forgot something different. It was adorable but if I hadn't cleared my throat, they'd still be caught in some bickering causality loop.
As of this review the suit arrived for the first fitting and it's fantastic. I can't wait to throw it on and get the next phase of my career started properly!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Samuel B.Indianapolis, IN02Apr 12, 2024
I had no idea tailored clothing would feel and look so beautiful. The service at Leon Tailoring is top notch. I plan to be a lifelong customer. Thank you.

Great place to get tailored clothes! I bought a tux from here a number of years ago and came back this week to get suits for my Sons for a wedding. Both Norman and Larry were incredible. Had great conversations with both of them on two different days. They took the time to make sure that my son was measured correctly and that plans for the suit were considered. He did not push anything. He made suggestions for parts of the suit we needed, but if we didn't need them, it was no big deal. We got a great price on a great suit that will be tailored for my sons and altered when needed by fantastic artisans. This is a great little shop, it has been around Indianapolis for a very, very long time, and stand with a very high reputation. I was very pleased with this interaction and will be back there soon for more. Also, they mentioned that if someone is looking for a rental tuxedo for prom, they have great pricing for a prom tux. Much lower than my son paid a few years ago, and you know how prices have been going lately. I would highly recommend them for clothing needs.

This place is a joke. Go to men's wearhouse. They don't take card. Measurements from other places led to better fits. Takes 2 years to get fitted somehow. Extra $100 a head saves a million of trouble.

The tailor is very professional, well priced, and super quick! I will definitely be back with more pieces of clothing.
I had her adjust the waist on a dress I wore to a wedding and the strap that broke on a blouse. She texted me the next day to come back and try it on to make sure it was accurately done before the finishing touches.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Stephen R.Greenwood, IN01Jul 22, 2023
Absolutely excellent tailoring services, and a wonderful selection of suits and jackets! Leon Tailoring has tons of knowledge and experience, and their services are some of the best in Indianapolis. Their work is slightly more expensive than Men's Wearhouse or Macy's, but it's easily worth the extra money considering the incredible quality they deliver. Definitely recommend!

Update from my last review.
Being so convenient to me and my work, I couldn't pass giving it another show even though they showed horrible customer service on the phone (see previous review).
I brought in a casual jacket I wanted to be taken in. The guy that was helping me was very helpful and personal (definitely not the same guy I got on the phone).
For those that know me, I am very small and skinny, so the man was suggesting that I try their products out and showed me a few of their jackets and suits while I was there. It was a bit too salesy for me, but I understand. I don't have the money to pay $$$$ on suits, so I'll never be purchasing from them.
He was educational and explained different types of fabric and how they work differently, etc. He was very nice overall and the overall job was good. I was expecting a call from them for 4 days as they told me that they'd call when it was finished, but they never did, so I had to finally stop in and see if it had been done.
It was somewhat pricey, at least in my opinion, for the minimal work that was done, but it was done well, and that's all that matters.
Good place, just a bit too pricey for me.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0Nov 28, 2017Previous reviewI walk passed this place at least two times a day on my way to work. I recently purchased a casual suit jacket online that i needed altered so i gave them a call to see if they could give me a simple estimate of approximately how much money it would cost.
A man answered the phone. I explained the jacket I had and asked if I could get a quote or a ballpark range of how much it would cost to make a few minor alterations (shorten sleeves and bring in the stomach area). The man responded in the nastiest tone ever, "I don't know. How would you think I would know if I don't know what it even looks like. If you purchased something here and we tailored it, it would be free but I've no idea since I have no idea what it looks like and how much work needs to be done."
When a simple, "I would say that based on previous clients; it would be approximately $ - $$$." could've been said; I instead received a response that left me feeling as if I had asked an incorrect question and I was stupid for calling to see if I could get a price range estimate.
What a shame as they're a quick walk from my apartment. I'll be searching elsewhere till their customer service improves. - Ellen A.Indianapolis, IN425Jun 28, 2021
I am very pleased with the suits and skirts I ordered from Leon's. Ladies remember to tell them exactly what you what you want for tailoring at the start and during each fitting including a more fitted body if you want a better silhouette. I highly recommend them for all services.

Growing up in Indy I always took note of Leon's store front, and finally made it inside when I needed some clothing repairs. Family owned and operated since 1905 the staff here are so knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They did excellent work on my trench coat and another vintage coat I needed mended. Definitely recommend going here for any tailoring needs.
