How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is each shop’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, measured against other LA tailors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from nearly 500 reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
