Gerson MuñozWhatever event I’m going to, I only care about looking sharp. You know, that kind of thing where I can walk proudly amongst the crowd with my head held high because I know I look my best.
But let me tell you a secret: my confidence doesn’t come from my looks. It actually comes from wearing clothes that fit me perfectly, and are made only for me.
That’s what I like about custom-made clothing. I look good and feel comfortable at the same time.
If you’ve ever wondered where to find that made-for-you fit, you’ve come to the right place. We know the best tailors in Jacksonville who can also create that statement piece for you.
How much do custom-made tailors cost in Jacksonville?
In Jacksonville, custom-made clothing from tailors depends heavily on the fabric type, tailor, and level of customization.
For example, made-to-measure garments range from $800 to $1,500, while bespoke pieces cost more or less $3,500.
1. The Tailor Shop Inc
Address: 3803 Southside Blvd
Phone: +19046427780
Business hours:
- Monday, appointment only
- Tuesday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM
- Saturday, 9 AM–2 PM
The Tailor Shop Inc. is led by master tailor Daniel Motorca, who’s been in the business for over 30 years. His sole purpose in his craft is to make sure your clothing moves naturally with you.
What we like about him is that he doesn’t just tweak existing patterns; Daniel leans more toward bespoke creations where he will make everything from scratch to match your body proportions, especially if you’ve always struggled with off-the-rack sizing.
The shop is the absolute go-to for anyone who wants to look sharp at their corporate events or wedding. Grooms even commend his talent for matching tricky colors without overpowering the overall look (or the bride!).
Even for customers who needed multiple fittings, due to weight loss, for example, he’s very patient and supportive in making the adjustments.
One thing to consider, though, is that his services are more expensive compared to those of other tailors.
Every detail was handled with such care and precision
“We had an amazing experience at The Tailor Shop. Daniel, the owner, did incredible work on both my wife’s wedding dress and my suit. The alterations on her dress were flawless—every detail was handled with such care and precision, and the end result was stunning. For my suit, Daniel made the adjustments so perfectly that it felt custom-made. Every tweak we asked for was done exactly as we envisioned. He’s professional, attentive, and clearly takes great pride in his craft. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with important alterations, especially for something as meaningful as a wedding, I couldn’t recommend Daniel and The Tailor Shop more highly.”

Daniel transformed not one but two vintage wedding dresses for me
“Daniel transformed not one but two vintage wedding dresses for me! It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I could not be more thankful. He transformed my now mother-in-law’s wedding dress into the dress of my dreams for the ceremony! My second look was created by Daniel out of my husband’s grandmother’s wedding dress. I gave Daniel an idea of what I wanted, and he executed it perfectly with little to no direction from me! Please see photos for before and after pics!”

2. Kalypso Couture
Address: 4624 Park St
Business hours: By appointment only
Kalypso Couture offers a mobile tailoring service, where their private designer will come to your home or office for consultations. It’s an incredibly convenient choice for busy professionals who don’t have to visit their shop.
What sets them apart is their use of 3D body scanning technology to capture accurate measurements. You can also extend this and use the same tool to custom-make shoes that will precisely match your new suit.
Every clothing item they make is unique and not mass-produced, plus they use luxury fabrics from world-class mills, like Loro Piana, so you can never go wrong with the quality of their products.
They’re very detailed with every piece, so it’s not very surprising that their products take 6 to 8 weeks to complete. That being said, it’s not really the best option for last-minute or urgent needs.
Most of us agree that the pricing is on the higher end. But many clients actually don’t mind, saying it’s worth the investment anyway.
Did not disappoint with the fantastic final product
“Outstanding suits! You don’t know the difference a custom-built suit makes until you try one on for the first time. We entrusted my wedding suit to Kalypso, and Michael did not disappoint with the fantastic final product!”
- James Taylor, Google Review
Each detail was perfectly crafted
This was our first experience having a custom suit made, and Michael certainly wowed us! From our initial meeting, we could tell the passion and experience Michael brought to the table. He helped us work through fabrics, colors, textures, etc to make sure we were making the right choices for our vision. Despite my unnecessarily stressing timelines, Michael reassured us that good things take time and that we would have perfectly completed suits for the wedding, and he did not disappoint. Each detail was perfectly crafted down to the custom embroidery inside the suit – which we didn’t discover until the wedding day! What an amazing surprise. Both suits were incredible, and my husband is already looking for a reason to have another suit crafted by Michael!”

3. Elena’s Custom Tailoring
Address: 11583 Dunn Creek Rd
Phone: +14072053077
Business hours: Monday to Saturday, 11 AM–5 PM
Elena’s Custom Tailoring is a local favorite, especially in weddings, where she handles custom alterations to bridal gowns. She usually adds more details like beadwork and lace placements to improve fit and finish.
Technically, her specialty is more in making bespoke adjustments to existing clothing, but she can also create custom pieces from scratch if needed.
We can also say that she’s reliable in terms of speed and precision. Clients we interviewed said that she works fast without taking any shortcuts, which often results in a garment that “fits like a glove.”
However, Elena works alone, so her availability is limited, especially during peak wedding season. If you still wish to work with her during her busy periods, you’ll be put on a waiting list for weeks until she’s available again.
She was incredibly kind, patient, and extremely detail-oriented
“I had an amazing experience with my wedding dress alterations. She was incredibly kind, patient, and extremely detail-oriented. She took her time during my fitting and carefully looked over every part of my dress. The fabric of my gown showed flaws very easily, but she made it completely FLAWLESS. She adjusted the front hem so I wouldn’t trip and took in the bust perfectly. The final fit was absolutely perfect—it looked like the dress melted onto my skin. She also gave great advice on how to handle the dress on my wedding day, which was so helpful. Her skill, care, and attention to detail truly set her apart. I would highly recommend her to any bride!”

Elena is truly a master of her craft!
“Elena is truly a master of her craft! From the very first fitting, she was patient, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease. She took my vision and turned it into reality with flawless alterations that made my dress fit like it was custom-made just for me. Every detail was handled with care, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for my wedding day. I cannot recommend Elena enough—her skill, professionalism, and heart for her clients shine through in everything she does!”

4. Professional Tailoring and Alterations
Address: 43 W Adams St
Phone: +19043589540
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 10 AM–4:30 PM
Professional Tailoring and Alterations is run by Irina, a highly skilled seamstress with more than 25 years of experience in the industry.
Her services are the best for corporate professionals looking for specialized tailoring, like making “duplicates” of a clothing item you love. She’ll copy everything, including the fit and the style of that garment.
We also like that she’s affordable yet works fast, which often comes as a surprise for many who are used to longer wait times, especially with custom-made clothing. Plus, she doesn’t forget about the quality despite the speedy work.
The only thing we’re iffy about is her customer service. From what we’ve gathered, she can be very dismissive on phone calls and scares people who just want to inquire about her services.
Always so friendly and fair pricing
“I have been coming here to Irima for years, and she is great! Always so friendly and fair pricing with quick turnaround. There have even been times she fixes a tiny thing for me right then and just hands it back. 10/10 recommend.”
- Jessica Goldsborough, Google Review
She’s always been very professional and kind
“Irina is one of the best in the business. I’ve been going to her for years, and she’s always been very professional and kind. She is conveniently located in downtown Jacksonville and has always been reliable whenever I needed emergency alterations and repairs to my suits. On top of that, her prices are fair and reasonable. I highly recommend!”

5. TS Custom Suites
Address: Hidden Hills Golf & Country Club
Phone: +19042067170
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday, 9 AM–9 PM
- Saturday, 10 AM–9 PM
- Sunday, 12–8 PM
TS Custom Suits is a family-owned business that has been around since 1891. The most impressive part here is the 8-generation lineage of tailoring expertise, which gives us the feeling that patrons are in good hands.
The shop is arguably the best choice if you’re looking for a high-level bespoke look. For example, they can make a printed photo collage lining where grooms can literally wear their engagement photos inside their jacket.
Their incredible customization allows them to take on complicated requests. Many clients even find their products one of a kind, and that you won’t find the clothing they make in generic big stores.
And just because they make “suits,” it doesn’t mean that they can’t be inclusive. We really appreciated how they can also make clothes for women, androgynous body types, and non-binary individuals.
Just note that this is not a walk-in shop. They require booking an appointment, and the lead time of the products is roughly 4 to 6 weeks.
The fit was absolutely flawless
“We had such a wonderful experience working with Lon for my husband’s custom wedding suit! She was incredibly thorough from start to finish, making sure every detail was perfect. The fit was absolutely flawless, and you could tell how much care and skill went into her work. On top of that, she was so kind, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more perfect suit—highly recommend!”
- Emily Fusco, Google Review
Truly the perfect custom suit
“Getting my fiancé’s wedding suit with Lan was truly a luxury experience! Bryan had never gotten a custom suit before, and Lan walked us through every step. We got to pick out every aspect of the suit, with her expert recommendations along the way. We had an idea of what we wanted, but I was so glad to have Lan’s opinion on what would look good or not. Bryan and I could not be happier with the result! The suit fits him perfectly, and it has so many personal touches that really make it unique. The jacket even has the date of our wedding embroidered on the inside. Truly the perfect custom suit! It will be so special to see him wearing it on our wedding day. Lan was both professional and so welcoming – I would recommend her to anyone looking for a luxury custom experience.”
