Suit and tuxedo alterations that look custom-made
Our onsite suit specialist does work many tailors won't take on, so an off-the-rack suit or tuxedo can fit like it was made for you. We check every suit with you in person and tell you exactly what it can do before we start.
Suits, tuxedos, blazers and dress pants
From quick fixes to changes that reshape the whole suit, our suit specialist handles it in house.
- Sleeves

- Trouser hems
- Suit trousers and dress pants hemmed, with or without cuffs.
- Jacket fit
- Suit and tuxedo jackets and blazers taken in or let out for a closer fit.
- Waist and seat
- Trouser waist and seat taken in or let out.
- Jacket length and shape
- Overall length and shape adjusted where the suit allows.
- Tapering
- Trouser legs tapered for a modern line.

Suit questions
Have a question that isn't here? Call us at (919) 510-8380.
Can you make my suit look custom-made?
In most cases, yes. Our suit specialist does work many tailors won't take on, so an off-the-rack suit can fit like it was made for you.
Is there anything you can't change on a suit?
Every suit has some limits, depending on how it was cut and sewn. Our specialist checks your suit with you on the spot and tells you honestly what it can and can't do before any work begins.
How long do suit alterations take?
Standard turnaround is usually 3 to 4 days, depending on how busy we are. For a wedding, interview or event, rush service can be done for any day you need, including same day.
Do you alter tuxedos?
Yes. We alter tuxedos the same way as suits, including jacket sleeves and fit, and trouser hems, waist and taper, for weddings, proms and black-tie events.
Will I need more than one fitting?
Sometimes. We often get the fit right the first time, but some suits need another fitting to be perfect, so please allow time for one before your event.
