Alterations

“Dress everyday as if you are going to face your worst enemy.”

 

More often than not, it’s the cut and fit of a suit that makes you feel like a million bucks when you get ready each morning. By specialising in menswear alterations, our modern-day tailors know the anatomy of a suit inside out. You simply need to put on your garments, and we will work out the necessary alterations to get the perfect fit. Quite often, a simple lifting of the hem, or nip in of the waist can drastically improve the look of a suit.

Some of the alterations we can do to improve your look include:

Jackets

  • Shorten or lengthen sleeves
  • Take in, or let out the torso area to fit
  • Adjust shoulders seams if it is too big, or if the sleeve head doesn’t fit correctly
  • Shorten the jacket length
  • Taper sleeves width
  • Repair or replace the lining

Trousers

  • Shorten or lengthen the hem length
  • Resizing the waist band to be 1-2 sizes larger or smaller
  • Increase of reduce crutch length
  • Taper the legs for a slimmer look
  • Add saddle in crutch to protect against wear
  • Mend worn out crutch areas

Jeans

  • Shorten the length with a plain hem or original hem
  • Taking in the waist band
  • Increase or reduce crutch length
  • Taper legs to make slimmer
  • Mend holes in knees, pocket and crutch

Shirts

  • Shorten sleeves
  • Take in sides seams and darts for a slimmer look
