Why Choose Us For Your Suit Alterations?

Experience. Alteration Specialists has been providing high-end tailoring and alteration services to clients throughout the NYC area since 2014. Our master tailors, who have decades of experience, will work with you to create the ideal fit for your high end garments.

A bespoke fit without the unnecessary markup. Our award-winning tailors have deep expertise in altering all types of men’s suits. Unless your suit has been custom made, it’s hard to buy an off the rack suit that fits well. For instance, the suit jacket’s sleeves or length may need adjustments or perhaps the shoulders are too big or small. Or the length of the suit pants may be too long or short and need to be hemmed or lengthened. Our tailors can easily make these changes to achieve a perfect, fitted look. And if you have a designer suit you love that has been hanging in your closet because you’ve lost weight or gained weight, let us help you! Bring it to us for a resizing or recut and we will make the suit fit appropriately for your updated figure. In addition, we can modernize an outdated suit that you love by re-cutting it to make it consistent with a modern suit. For instance, we can convert pleated pants to flat front pants and we can raise the gorge and lapel on the jacket. With our jacket and pant alterations, your suit will fit like a brand new suit.

The whole package. We will also ensure that your dress shirts are tailored appropriately to complete the perfect look. Shirt cuffs sometimes need to be adjusted to achieve a better fit or to make the sleeves shorter or longer. When your suit and shirt fit you well, you’ll have the confidence you need in any situation — at work, in business meetings or when you’re going to a social event.

Convenience. We go to great lengths to accommodate the busy schedules of our clients. You can schedule a tailoring consultation for the morning, afternoon or evening by visiting our website, emailing us or calling us. You can meet at one of our NYC tailoring studios or at a place of your convenience. With our mobile alteration services, an expert seamstress or tailor will meet at your home or office around your schedule.

No job is too simple, complicated, small or large. If you purchased a suit off-the-rack and need a few simple adjustments to make the suit look its best (e.g., hemming pants, letting out the waist, or tapering the pants), we have the expertise and resources to perform those alterations with the highest level of precision in the industry. If you require more comprehensive alterations to your suit or jacket (e.g., shortening or lengthening the sleeves of a jacket with functional buttonholes, tapering the sleeves or sides of a jacket, re-cutting the jacket, adjusting the shoulder pads or the width of the shoulders, adding functional buttonholes or a lapel buttonhole), you should trust the master tailors at Alteration Specialists, who specialize in the most complex suiting alterations.

If you purchased an expensive suit jacket or blazer and it doesn’t fit to your standards, consider altering it before throwing it out or donating it. We can absolutely revitalize old, traditional suits and transform them into modern-looking, tapered suits. For a suit jacket, we can drastically change and improve the fit in many ways to enhance its appearance. Some of the common alterations we perform include shortening or lengthening the jacket sleeves, tapering the sleeves or sides of the jacket in or out, and shortening or lengthening the jacket. In addition, we can hem suit pants, as well as adjust the waist, taper the legs in or out, among other things, to create a flattering look and fit.

For over 20 years, our professional tailors have been performing alterations for men and women. We have expertise in all facets of tailoring and have experience working with all types of fabrics and materials. From tailoring simple garments (e.g., jeans and slacks) to altering the most complex and ornate jackets, coats, suits, skirts / dresses and bridal gowns, our master tailors at Alteration Specialists can handle all of your alteration needs.
