Your San Clemente Tailor and Alterations Shop

San Clemente keeps its own easy rhythm, from morning surf near the San Clemente Pier to a slow stroll through the Del Mar downtown district. Sami's Tailoring offers alterations in nearby San Juan Capistrano. Whether you live up the hill in Rancho San Clemente, out toward the fairways of Talega, or close to the water, the shop is an easy trip rather than a chore, and your clothes come back fitting the way they were meant to.

Walk-ins from San Clemente are welcome for jacket alterations, trouser hems, and other fittings. For a wedding gown, call ahead to discuss your visit. Every garment gets the same attention, a fair price quoted before any scissors touch the cloth, and a turnaround time we tell you honestly up front.

Our shop sits at 32301 Camino Capistrano, Ste E in San Juan Capistrano, about 10 to 12 minutes north of San Clemente on the I-5. From downtown San Clemente or the pier, you hop on the freeway, take a short run up the coast, then continue to our shop in San Juan Capistrano. Walk-ins are welcome, so you can drop a garment off, talk through what you have in mind, and get a clear quote on the spot.

Because we are a true neighborhood tailor and not a quick-turn counter inside a department store, your clothes are handled by people who have been doing this for a lifetime.

Sami's Tailoring is family-owned and has been a fixture in San Juan Capistrano for 45 years, run today by Sami Abujudeh. Pricing is fair and quoted up front, the workmanship is the kind you only get from real experience, and you are treated like a neighbor rather than a ticket number. For San Clemente, that means honest, dependable tailoring just minutes away.

From most of San Clemente, take the I-5 north to exit 81, Camino Capistrano. The shop is less than half a mile from the exit, between Del Obispo Street and San Juan Creek Road.
