Our take: We rank it #2 on the strength of nearly 700 reviews, second only to Erol. Its 4.7 sits just below a few shops further down the list, but that large, consistent volume is what earns the spot, and it is our pick for everyday alterations.

Our take: It shares Erol's perfect 5.0 rating and ranks #3 only because its 434-review base, while strong, is smaller than the two above. Our pick for expert alterations and near-invisible repairs.

Our take: Its 4.9 rating is elite, but with 391 reviews it has the smallest base on this list, so it ranks #5 on proven volume, not on quality. The choice when the experience and the fabric matter as much as the fit.

Claim this spot › How the scores work
Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Toronto tailors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
What do tailors and alterations cost in Toronto? (2026)
Alteration prices depend on the garment, the fabric and lining, and how much has to be re-cut; bespoke and made-to-measure work is priced by fabric and construction. Here are typical 2026 CAD ranges for common jobs:

CAD ranges compiled July 2026 from HomeGuide, Thumbtack and published rate lists at Toronto alteration and bespoke shops. Prices vary by fabric, lining and the amount of re-cutting, so always confirm the quote and the number of fittings before work begins. These are third-party averages, not quotes from the businesses on this page, so ask each company for its own written price.

Frequently asked questions
How did you choose these tailors?
We started from every tailor in Toronto with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How the scores work above.
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.
How often is this updated?
The data carries a verified date, July 2026 on this page. We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.
What is the difference between an alterations tailor and a bespoke tailor?
An alterations tailor adjusts clothes you already own, hems, take-ins, repairs and re-cuts. A bespoke or made-to-measure tailor builds a garment from scratch to your measurements and chosen fabric. Erol Custom Tailor and King & Bay do bespoke; Magic Tailor, The Great Tailor and Last Minute Alteration focus on alterations.
How much do alterations cost in Toronto?
Simple jobs like a pants hem run about $15 to $30 CAD, a full suit jacket alteration $60 to $175, and wedding dress alterations $150 to $600. A bespoke suit starts around $800 and climbs with the fabric. See the cost table above and confirm the quote first.
How long do alterations take?
Straightforward alterations are often ready in a few days, and several shops here offer same-day or day-of service for urgent jobs. Bespoke and made-to-measure suits usually take two to three weeks. Confirm the turnaround when you drop off.
The bottom line
For a suit made to your measurements, Erol Custom Tailor is the safe default on both rating and sheer proven volume, with King & Bay the pick when the experience matters most. Need a fast alteration instead? Magic Tailor and Last Minute Alteration turn urgent jobs around, just confirm the turnaround and the number of fittings before you leave your clothes.
