LeadQuasar lists 1,670 tailors across 16 US states, and every record has a phone number, a website and a Google rating. There are no email addresses or owner names in this dataset, so you reach these shops by phone, through their website or by walking in. Texas has the largest share with 482 shops.
A tailor shop is a counter, a machine and an owner
Most tailor and alteration shops are small, owner-run storefronts. The person at the counter taking measurements is often the owner, and the person at the machine in the back may be family. There is rarely an office manager or a purchasing department.
That changes how you sell. There is no "decision-maker" to find. You are talking to the decision-maker the moment someone answers the phone. The challenge is catching them when they are not pinning a hem with a customer waiting.
What tailors buy
The vendors who do well with tailors sell things that are part of the daily work:
- Supplies. Thread, zippers, buttons, interfacing, linings, chalk, pins, hangers and garment bags, all reordered constantly.
- Machines and service. Industrial sewing machines, sergers, blind-hem machines, pressing equipment, and the repair that keeps them running.
- Point of sale and tickets. Claim tickets, simple POS systems, text-when-ready tools.
- Local marketing. Google profile help, review requests, signage.
- Referral partnerships. Bridal shops, formalwear rental, menswear stores and dry cleaners often send alteration work to a nearby tailor. If you run one of those businesses, a tailor is a partner, not only a customer.
Seasonality matters. Wedding and prom seasons and the run-up to the holidays are when shops are busiest. Pitch supplies and equipment before a rush, not in the middle of it.
Ratings are high, and owners know it
All 1,670 shops have a Google rating, and the average is 4.48. Tailoring is a trust business: people hand over a suit or a wedding dress and hope it comes back right. A shop with a strong rating has earned it, one garment at a time.
That makes review and reputation tools a natural conversation. It also means you should not waste an owner's time. They have a reputation for doing careful work, and they will judge you on the same standard.
Where the shops are
| State | Shops |
|---|---|
| Texas | 482 |
| California | 336 |
| New York | 111 |
| Illinois | 109 |
| Arizona | 101 |
| Michigan | 92 |
Indiana (85), Pennsylvania (71), Florida (60), North Carolina (59), Ohio (56) and Tennessee (42) make up the rest of the top 12, and four more states have a handful between them.
The shops are mostly in large cities. Houston leads with 113, then Chicago (107), New York (105) and Los Angeles (101). Texas has several strong metros: San Antonio (75), Dallas (68) and Austin (63) alongside Houston. In California, San Francisco (78) and San Diego (74) follow Los Angeles.
This is a mid-sized, city-focused list. It is a good fit for a distributor or service company covering a metro, and less useful if you need small-town coverage.
Three ways to reach a tailor
Call in the mid-morning. Many shops open, take drop-offs from people on their way to work, then settle into sewing. Late morning is usually calmer than the lunch hour or the after-work pickup rush. Keep the call short. Say what you sell, ask if they use it now, and offer to send a price list or a sample.
Use the website. Every record has one. It tells you whether the shop does bespoke suits, bridal alterations, leather repair or quick hems, and that tells you what they buy. Many small shop websites have a contact form or an email address listed. See how to find business email addresses if you need one.
Walk in. For supply and equipment sellers in a dense city, a visit with samples beats any email. Tailors like to handle thread and fabric before they buy it. Use the list to plan a route by neighbourhood.
If you follow up by email, keep it brief and follow CAN-SPAM and any local rules.

Frequently asked questions
How many tailor shops does LeadQuasar list?
There are 1,670 tailors across 16 states. Every record has a phone number, a website and a Google rating.
Do the tailor listings include owner names or emails?
No. None of the 1,670 records has an email address or a contact name. At most tailor shops the person who answers the phone is the owner or a family member, so a direct call works well.
Which cities have the most tailors in the list?
Houston (113), Chicago (107), New York (105) and Los Angeles (101). Texas is the largest state with 482 shops, followed by California with 336.
When is the best time to sell to tailors?
Before their busy seasons. Wedding season, prom and the holidays bring the most alteration work, so pitch supplies and equipment ahead of those rushes, and call in the mid-morning on weekdays.
