After doing a lot of research online, I found multiple recommendations for Leonard as being the best tailor in the St. Louis area. I decided to take the plunge and drove two hours to see him at his new location in Creve Coeur.
Leonard was gracious, polite and obviously very passionate about his work. Unfortunately, it only took him two seconds to notice that the suit I had bought online was several sizes too small and would never be able to fit me no matter how much tailoring he did. Since I had already driven two hours and had only about a week until my wedding, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Luckily for me, Leonard was able to work out a solution with me. He gave me a recommendation for sizing, which stores to look at and even the name of someone he trusted at one of the stores to help me find a suit. Within a couple hours, I had a suit that fit me great and was back at Leonard's location for tailoring. He was even kind enough to keep his doors open after hours for me since I had driven so far to see him.
As for the tailoring, it's impeccable. Over the years I've had a fair number of suits, but I've never had a suit look as good or on me or fit me as well as the one that Leonard fixed up for me. I know I'm going to look great on my wedding day and it's all thanks to him. I can't recommend him enough. read less - 2/11/2022Sarah C.

At the present time, you need to call to set up an appointment and he will give you the address to where he is operating. He is currently working out of his house basement in Creve Coeur.

It's not exactly convenient for City folk like me, but I've been going to him endlessly for years so I will continue. read less - 8/17/2020Rebecca M.

He's now taken in the waist of 5 pairs of pants for me and they fit me beautifully. It isn't super fast (usually 1-2 week turn around, could probably do faster if needed but I haven't asked) and isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for and he's worth it.
He used to have a location by the Brentwood mall. He's now working out of his home in Creve Couer by appointment. Cash/check only.

I decided to take a chance and see what I could do. I went to a few other tailors, none of which felt comfortable with my requests. Finally, I brought it to Leonard. He was able to make all of my modifications and you can't even tell that it was let out or that the straps were modified! He was so kind and funny and he clearly knows what he is doing. He made an experience I had been dreading into something I looked forward to! Not only did the dress look great, but it was ready on the day that he said it would be, and his price was very reasonable. Next time, I will not waste time looking elsewhere and I will be going directly to Leonard! read less - 10/29/2018 - Josie M.

I was struggling to find a tailor that I was confident in and who would be able to fit me in on a moment's notice. I needed alterations on a bridesmaids gown of mine close to 2 and a half weeks before the wedding. I was referred to Leonard by a friend, and looking back I couldn't have been happier with my experience. Not only did he accomplish exactly what I had envisioned for the dress, but he is the kind of man who is genuinely interested in learning more about you and making you feel (and look) your best in whatever you are wearing. I've never met a tailor as kind and caring as Leonard, who exudes his passion for his work with each detail in the fabric. I would definitely recommend Leonard's tailoring and will be back for future alterations! read less - 1/12/2017 Catie B.

I cannot say enough good things about Leonard's, they know their craft very well and know how to make you look great in your clothes.

He's a kind, wonderful and talented man who's very good at his job and will get your order done in a timely manner for a reasonable price. Even if you need it the next day he'll stay late for you in his shop to work (say if it's a emergency adjustment for a wedding gown, or a suit for a wake), but expect to pay a more, as you would pay more for next day shipping on a package. Also when visiting a tailor, honesty is key. When he pins your garment, if it's a little loose, or a little tight, say something! He's not a mind reader. Your just wasting everyone time and money if you dont say something the first time around. He's not the type to judge and is very grandfatherly in my opinion. On a different note, there's a grocery store right across from his shop so you can get lunch or wander around the aisles if your not the one getting the tailoring done. read less - 8/28/2016Zoë S.

He welcomed me in as a first time customer making me feel welcome and spending a ton of time with me, making sure to get everything just right. He even threw in one of my small items to be fixed for free. I felt bad leaving my finished clothing there for too long due to a busy schedule but he was totally understanding and when I did pick up, everything was done exactly as I'd asked.
I will definitely be returning. Thanks Leonard! read less - 5/31/2016 - Samantha M.

I was recommended to Leonard's Tailoring by another tailor who doesn't work on women's attire. He did wonders with two formal dresses, both with intricate lace designs. One started out being too baggy around the waist. When I went to pick it up it was absolutely perfect. The cinched in waist made me look skinnier than I'd ever felt before! The other dress fit perfectly too and you can't tell that it has been altered.
The customer service is wonderful. Upfront pricing, friendly faces, attention to detail and a desire to make sure the customer is always satisfied -- what more could you ask for? read less - 7/24/2015Sarah G.

Their hours are convenient, the consultation/pinning/fitting was concise and informational, and the work done was top-notch.
I'm a nurse at an organization with strict uniform guidelines. The scrubs have to all be bought from the same brand ( which sucks). The sizes run ridiculously huge. An XXS fits like an XL. I brought 4 scrub tops in to be tailored. I wasn't sure if there was anything anyone could do to the tops without sacrificing the many necessary pockets, etc. I was greeted by a woman (I wish I could remember her name), who had me put on the tops and spent time to make sure I liked the way the tops would look when they were finished. She even asked me whether I wanted the little patch with the brand name replaced on the sleeve, and if I wanted the ties/vents replaced. She was METICULOUS! I gave them a three-week window in which to work, and she quoted me an extremely fair price for the work I needed done. She even itemized everything out so I knew exactly what I was being charged for.
Fast-forward a couple weeks, and it turned out I needed my tops a lot sooner than I thought I would. I called Leonard, expecting to be upcharged a ton for asking them to rush my order. Not the case! He told me I could pick them up a full week earlier than I had originally planned, and didn't ask for an extra cent. When I went to get them, I was stuck in traffic and the store was about to close, and I called Leonard, who said he would wait for me. Again, service was amazing.
The tops fit great, I paid a fair price, and if I ever need any further alterations, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere but Leonard's Tailoring!
PS- Be sure to bring cash or a check (what's that??), because they don't have a credit card machine! read less - 4/07/2015Daniela S.

I brought in new dress pants to have them hemmed and I had told him about the shoddy work I had received from brentwood tailoring up the street; when I can in to pick up my pants he had double hemmed the bottoms to ensure the hem wouldn't unravel (as it did with brentwood tailoring after about 3 wears)- it was so nice of him and I really appreciated his extra effort to ensure I would be happy. The place is quite small but there's parking around the back of the building. Highly recommend this tailor. read less - 12/14/2014 Joshua J.

I had him alter dozens of garments for me over the last two years, culminating in my wedding gown. He hemmed it, added a bustle, and pressed the dress out for me. I think anyone who would who can alter a wedding gown can just about do it all. My husband has had a number of suits tailored by Leonard, and they are always exactly as he needs.
Leonard is also great about giving you an idea on upfront alteration costs. I bought a suit and brought it to him with tags on, to see what kind of alterations would be made, etc. He ended up recommending I get the size larger because the alterations would be easier and less expensive. Just a class act all around! read less - 11/05/2012Mark P.

They were all three the same shirt just different colors. I also wore in a shirt with the fit I was wanting out of the others. I was told it would be no problem. 50 per shirt to shorten the bottom, bring in the sides, and tighten up the sleeves. Again these were all the exact same shirts. None of them turned out close to the same. The bottoms do not match up on two, one is significantly smaller, and the other now has the last button a half inch from the bottom of the shirt.
