Dan Dan The Tailor Man

DO NOT USE THEM!!! I called when they opened and asked if they could take a few inches off a pair of pants. They said yes they could. I told them I was leaving for Canada the next morning and it had to be today and they guaranteed that it would happen. I took them in at 11 o’clock and they said to come back after 4 p.m. I sent my assistant in just aftet 4 and they could not find them anywhere and said the girl that took my order went home sick and didn’t tell anyone. All they did was cussed at him and said it wasn’t their fault. So I went up there and all they were saying was «relax relax it’s just pants it’s just pants». It’s not just pants when that is your only suit and you were going out of the country the next day. They will not be in business long acting like this. I would avoid them and go somewhere else.

This place is gross, but more importantly, I purchased a women’s tailored suit at a charity event and never even got it!!! When I first went in I was told that the owner was having health problems. Fair enough. But the lady assured me she would pass along my info when he returned. After months of hearing nothing I went back into the store. Owner was back, great! But he shoved the cheapest, tackiest suit catalog in front of me. Not wanting to offend him I chose one. And he never even called back with the order!!! He’s dishonest. His clothing is cheap and gross. And I wouldn’t step foot there again. One star is actually too generous.

This guy is awful. First he tells me that I overspent on my suit and that it fits poorly. He starts preaching to my family about how bad of a decision I made. None of what he said was true. I needed the arms to be let out and sides taken in. The shoulders fit well. I tell him that it is really important that it fits well as my wedding is in a week. He says he’ll take care of me. The next week I pick it up and the sleeves weren’t even touched. There wasn’t time for further alterations and I end up with short sleeves. Then he acts like it’s not his fault. What a terrible experience.

My advice is to stay as far away from this store as possible, that is unless you want to invest in a suit (s) which will be tailored so poorly, other tailors in the area are speculative as to whether or not they can even fix Dan’s work.
Most recently, I bought two suits from Dan. I waited about a month for them to arrive which was frustrating to say the least. When i went it for measurement, it took all of about 10 seconds. He did not even mark the second suit. When i asked him why, he replied to me as if i was stupid…“Because I don’t need to”. After two weeks, I was finally able to pick up the suits and think they were tailored but still not sure. the sleeves on one suit are almost right but the hem is crooked. The pants are way to big, and the hem is so crooked is looks like a 2 y/​o sewed it together. Both sets of pants will not even hang on a hanger straight. The black jacket was never tailored and there is about a 7 inch gap between the top button and my abdomen… too big. I honestly think both suits are beyond repair. Sadly, I feel as if I just flushed $ 700 down the drain. I can honestly say Jos A Bank does a better job at tailoring than Dan. What a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. I believe this business is only surviving on a successful past.
After calling 3 other tailors, I finally found one who is at least willing to look at a suit that Dan has tailored and even he is speculative that he will be able to fix that ‘mess” as he referred to it. Another tailor immediately said“Oh Lord no” we cannot fix his tailoring. At this point, both suits are unwearable. I tried today but they looked so terrible… and i am not exactly picky, I had to take it off. As the other reviewer wrote, never again Dan, never again.

This store is disgusting. Do not go in! The guy who runs it is a complete joke! Across the street inside of the mall is Vali’s Tailor. Vali is a wonderful human being who does honest and quality work. I am so pleased by customer service I give her extra money for her fine crafstmanship and service she is a wonderful lady.

I had a really bad experience with Dan and would never go back.
I came in and dropped off several shirts to be tailored. I’m a skinny guy, so the necks of the shirts fit well, and the sleeves were long enough, but the body of the shirts were too big. I wanted to have the the sleeves and sides tailored and made more fitted.
I must have caught him in a bad mood, because he acted as though my arrival in his shop annoyed him. While having me try on my shirts so he could measure the alterations and pin them, he took a phone call on a Bluetooth headset and proceeded to yell at whoever was on the other end of the line in a foreign language with no apparent concern that he was also standing within a foot of my face while doing so. He also criticized my choice of dress shirts, which was tacky.
I left the shirts with him for over a week, longer than he requested to do the work. I called and checked if they were done, he said yes. When I arrived, he had to rush around the store to find them, and they were sitting, unfinished, on a pile in the back of his shop next to his seamstress. In full view of me from the front of the shop, he then yelled at the seamstress, bumped her off of her machine, and proceeded to just zip the sides of the shirts through the sewing machine. It’s kind of hard to describe what he did, but rather than properly altering the seams to make a nicely finished result, he basically just ran a single stitch up the sides of the shirt, leaving a big flap of fabric on the inside.
He also didn’t touch the sleeves, making the sides of the shirts fitted, but with ridiculous-​looking, disproportionately poofy sleeves. His half-​assed work ruined a couple of hundred bucks of dress shirts in the process.

What a nightmare! My husband purchased two custom suits from Dan’s in a charity silent auction. They are anything but custom. We experienced terrible customer service by Dan himself. He is arrogant, unorganized and unhelpful. It took forever to receive the ‘custom’ suits. When we finally got the suits, after calling to check on them because we were not notified, my husband tried them on and they did not fit. This is probably because Dan didn’t write down any measurements when the suits were ordered. After a few alterations they still do not fit properly. We don’t even want to bother with going back. After taking them to another tailor in town one suit isn’t even salvageable and now we have to pay for alterations on the other. I don’t know how he is still in business operating the way he does. I would imagine the two 5 star reviews are friends because anyone walking in off the street would be appalled at the customer service and quality of work.

I wear suits every day for my job in Wealth Management and I buy all of them from Dan. I have proudly worn Dan’s suits for pictures in FORBES and INGRAM’s magazines. They are very high quality and I have always been very satisfied with the attention to detail Dan takes to make sure each suits fits me perfectly. Dan has the best deals on suits and has a great personality to top it off! I would highly recommend!

I am a customer of Dan for over 5 years now and bought several suits and shirts. Buying from Dan is always an experience! While Dan may some times seem «rough around the edges» he is very personable and honest. He always helped me find the right fit and guide me a long the way with different options. If something didn’t look or feel right he was not shy about telling me. I really value his honesty and care and unlike many other places that just try to sell you something regardless of how it looks on you.
One time I was driving to pick up a suit that I needed for an event the next day, unfortunately I was running late and I knew I will not make it to the store before Dan closes. I called and asked him if he could wait because it was really important for me to get that suit. Dan couldn’t wait because he had other obligations that evening so instead he drove to my house and left me the suit there. It wasn’t even paid for but he didn’t care he wanted to make sure I will have it for my event the next morning.
After the event ended I drove to the store to pay him, he only charged me for the suit but nothing for the home delivery.
You never get this kind of service from other stores.

Mine is apparently the second «groupon» horror story about Dan’s on Unilocal.Dan’s is literally down the street from my house and I would gladly support this local business if my first foray here wasn’t one of the worst customer service experiences of my life.
My father in law bought a groupon for me for christmas about a year ago for a «custom Italian shirt and tie combo.» I brought the groupon in about a week before it’s expiration date expecting a proper tailor where customer service is king. wrong. I walked in, groupon in hand, and before I could say hello dan bursts out saying «oh my god, another groupon. i’ve lost my ass on these.» he proceeded to tell me how bad his experience was, how much money he had lost, and why he didn’t want to honor them anymore. this should have been my cue to walk out the door. alas, I stayed and was quickly measured only to find out dan didn’t have the size in stock (16.5 ³²⁄₃₃ isn’t exactly uncommon!). he threw a notebook on the counter, scribbled down the size, my name, and phone number, and said «i’ll call you.»
i never heard back from dan «the tailor man.» honestly, i wouldn’t wear the shirt and tie if he had called. «custom italian shirt and tie combo» should have read «cheap imported italian shirt suitable for wear at Touché’ (read the Unilocal review) with ugly 1980s tie conveniently coupled together in a BOX.» i’ve seen better combinations at walmart.
stay away from this place. you are better off finding a suit at goodwill.

Dan is not friendly and comes across very arrogant! Quality is ok but lack of service means I will take my business elsewhere! It’s worth noting this was my first & only visit and I was using a Groupon-​like coupon which seemingly affected his attitude. Plenty of other worthy tailors in this area!

My good friend recommended this place because apparently, he has a good reputation in Overland Park, so I drove 30 minutes to see what my friend was talking about. I guess Dan is busy enough not to need new business. I have seen many shops like this around the world, and I have to say that this is THE WORST establishment for tailoring and clothing, not because of the product, but because of the really really bad service. Nobody really tends to one client at a time, and the shop really is disorganized. When Dan or someone else takes measurements, they usually are not accurate, or just assume you are a certain size. They had to redo a few articles I had altered and they were not only overpriced, but they had to redo some things, and almost lost a whole suit, which was «not on the ticket»… did I mention them being disorganized? Best to come in after lunch, because everyone is cranky when they’re hungry and sometimes just rudely ignores you.
