Gary is THE MAN and his expertise is saving me, and my suit, just weeks before my wedding. The fit and alterations I got from indochino were a joke, and within seconds Gary was calling out the flaws and suggesting the fix. I cant recommend Panoyan highly enough

Went in today to look at getting a custom suit for my wedding (He seems to be the only custom suit maker in the Santa Barbara area) and was greeted warmly. His expertise is undeniable and service was excellent. However before asking about a budget or anything, we got into measurements, styles, colors and fabrics. Once that was finished, I liked what we had decided on but I wasn't able to afford the price he quoted so I said that I would take a rain check and call if I decided to go ahead anyway. I called back requesting the measurements he had taken and was met with a hostile "no. I can't do that

Brother Charles Panoyan founded this wonderful tailor shop 50 years ago and he made suits for me in the 1970s and 80s. His nephew Gary joined him 40 years ago and has operated the shop since Brother Charles retired soon after. Gary carries forward the same ethics of honesty, skill, personal attention and good cheer that that his uncle was known for. I recently bought slacks from Gary, and without being asked he offered to taper the legs, without cost, to fit me bettera time consuming task that most retailers wont bother with. A true old-style family business and a great asset to Santa Barbara
