Alterations & Tailoring. Done In-House. Done Right.
Our alterations team has decades of professional experience — and they work right here in our shop, not off-site.
Walk-in fitting hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 9 AM – 2 PM
The Difference a Good Fit Makes
Off-the-rack clothing almost never fits perfectly. That's not a flaw in you — it's just the math of mass production. Alterations are how you close that gap: between the clothes you own and the clothes that actually look the way they're supposed to.
Our alterations team brings real professional expertise to every piece that comes through our shop. Hemming a pair of pants is a simple job when done well and a visible disaster when not. Resizing a suit jacket takes skill, patience, and an eye for how a garment is supposed to drape. We take that seriously.
This is a professional service. You're paying for trained hands, good judgment, and results that last.
What We Alter & Repair
Resizing & Taking In/Out
Waists, sides, seats, and more. We work on pants, skirts, dresses, shirts, suit jackets, and outerwear. If a garment fits in every way but one, we can usually fix that one thing.
Pants & Waistbands
Waist adjustments for both jeans and dress pants, including drawstring and elastic options. Leg tapering knee-down or hip-down. Crotch adjustments. Full re-cuts when needed.
Hemming & Length
Pants, skirts, dresses, shirts, sleeves — if it needs to be shorter (or longer), we can handle it. Including original hems on jeans.
Zipper Replacement
Pants zippers, dress zippers, coat zippers, invisible zippers, slider replacements. If a zipper is the problem, we can fix it.
Patches & Emblems
We do a lot of this — more than most people expect. Uniform patches, logo emblems, school and ROTC insignia, security and city employee uniforms. If it needs to be sewn on correctly and last, bring it to us.
Wedding & Formalwear
Bridesmaid dresses, suits, tuxedos, mother-of-the-bride, and more. We understand the stakes with formalwear and treat these pieces accordingly. Rush service is available for an additional fee.
General Repairs
Seam repairs, button replacement, belt loops, patch holes, and other fixes. Sometimes a garment just needs a little attention to get years more life out of it.
Don't see what you need? Come in or call. If it involves a needle and thread, there's a good chance we can help.
Alterations Pricing
Most alterations are priced as "starting at" — the final cost depends on the garment, the complexity, and any additional details like lining, top stitching, or special construction. We'll always give you a clear estimate before we begin, and we'll contact you if anything changes the scope.
Here are common starting prices:
Standard Turnaround: About Two Weeks
Most alterations are ready within one to two weeks. More complex work — formalwear, major resizing, multi-piece orders — may take additional time. Rush service is available if you're up against a deadline.
Walk-in fitting hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM to 2 PM. No appointment needed.
Our Guarantee
On Alterations: When you complete a fitting with one of our tailors, your alterations are guaranteed for 45 days. If the fit isn't right due to our workmanship, we'll make it right — no questions asked. We can not guarantee alterations completed without a fitting with one of our seamstresses.
On Repairs: We stand behind our repair work for 30 days. If a repair we performed fails within that window, we'll redo it once at no charge. Please note: garments with existing wear or damage may develop new issues near a repaired area — those are separate from our workmanship guarantee.
