Time pressed against me like a weight--twenty minutes until the shutters would fall, twenty minutes before another small corner of the world would surrender to evening's inexorable march. I carried with me a wound in fabric, a tear that had opened like an accusation across the shoulder of my jacket, mocking the day's careful preparations. But there are places in this city, tucked between the grand gestures of commerce and ambition, where miracles still unfold in ordinary rooms. Here, among the gentle hum of ancient machines and the patient whisper of thread through cloth, transformation happens not in hours but in moments--ten minutes to restore what seemed irreparably lost. The hands that worked were neither hurried nor hesitant. They moved with the certainty that comes only from years of small salvations, from countless mornings when pressed uniforms waited like promises kept. This was craft in its purest form: unadorned, essential, profound in its simplicity. Year after year, I have brought my uniforms here--those daily armors we don before facing the world's scrutiny. And year after year, they have been returned to me not merely cleaned but somehow renewed, carrying with them the integrity of work honestly done, fairly priced, neighborhood-proud. In an age of disposable everything, here stands a testament to the enduring: quality that needs no advertisement, service that speaks only through satisfied silence, and the quiet dignity of those who understand that mending is, perhaps, the most hopeful of all human acts. read more

Once upon a time, there was a Beloved Jacket that served its mistress well. It, some black leather jeans and sunglasses, there was no place she couldn't go. Alas, the lady was called away to tend to an ailing relative. Three long years passed before she was able to return to her home and when she got there, she discovered the Jacket was in ruins. Moths had done what moths do. The fabric was beyond repair. I would like to say that fate led her straight to Miguel at Alpha Tailor Shop but no. The lady sent it off to some place in The Interior who said they specialized in garment replication. They were insulted by her request and would have charged her the national debt of Brazil if they deigned to give it a try. Next, she sent it to a tailor in Vietnam but the jacket she got back didn't fit. Finally, she tried a guy on the LES and that guy sent her to Miguel who MIRACULOUSLY created AN EXACT REPLICA of the Beloved Jacket down to the transfer of the original label and buttons. He lost money on the deal but wanted to be the happy ending to her epic quest. She is now an Alpha Tailor Shop girlie for life and if you know what's good for you, you'll take all of your repairs, length and bodycon adjustments there, too! read more

Alpha Tailor Shop - Miguel, The Miraculous, and grateful patron wearing The Once and Future Beloved Jacket - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for the excellent reviews, left with a disaster. I asked for a shirt to be hemmed and taken in. I ended up with a crop top with a puckered hem, messy stitches, small arm holes, and a shirt that wouldn't lay flat. Job cost me about $50 plus the cost of the shirt. I'm embarrassed to wear it now. Much prefer the unaltered shirt! read more

Miguel was amazing, I came in with a clown suit, nothing fit from the jacket to pants to shirt, I looked like a toddler wearing his father's clothes. Miguel broke everything down, and basically did the impossible. The suit feels custom made, looks amazing, and the price matches the quality. I will definitely come back. Oh he also said the suit will be done on a certain day and it was done 2 days early. Absolutely amazing. read more

this is the worst tailor of all time! do not do business with this angry man. the owner is a aggressive, rude, & he does not stand behind his work. he stole $45 from me after i tipped him generously. he also ruined the pants i brought in. instead of making it right he started screaming at me when i asked him to fix it. he threw the pants at me which hit me in the face. then he swore and cursed at me while shoving me out the door. he then followed me down the street screaming and threatening me. all over a pair pants that he messed up. this man is extremely volatile and violent. he immediately resorted to curse words and violent threats just because i asked him to redo the pants i had already paid for. please do not go to this tailor, the owner is a pyscho and will rob you of your money and time, not to mention ruin whatever piece if clothing you bring him. read more

"You look like you make a lot of money." That's what a friend told me when I recently met up with them after an interview, wearing a suit tailored at Alpha Tailor Shop. While I don't make a lot of money (yet), I sure look like I do. That said, this review is long overdue, as I've been a patron for roughly 5 years as of this writing. I've had a variety of work done here (both simple and complex), all of which is reasonably priced. This shop has a fairly quick turn around. For example, during wedding season it was about two weeks (note that these weren't extensive alterations). Depending on the complexity of the alterations, it may take more time. Whenever this is the case, it's communicated. Here's a general overview of the shop (I borrowed the format from another review : ) Skill: As noted above, they can handle complicated and easy alterations with equal skill. I also receive a ton of compliments on his work (like the one above). Shop Energy: Good vibes. I'm usually laughing and feel comfortable in the shop. Communication: Miguel is straight-forward and (as noted above) will let you know if an alteration can be rushed or if he will need more time. I trust his recommendations! He's honest about whether something is worth tailoring or whether an alteration will be flattering (or not). That said, please make sure to communicate what you want! I've made some mistakes and have forgotten to do -- so this is important as well. Pricing: Fair prices. He is also extremely transparent about why something might be more expensive. As another reviewer noted, he shows special love for repeat customers and bulk jobs. Cleanliness: The shop is clean and spacious. The mirrors in the fitting room are large as well and have good lighting. The bathroom is also clean and there's no funky smell(s). Educational: This ties in with communication, as he will let you know if an item is a quick and/or cheap alteration. On the other hand, he explains when an alteration is complex and will require more work, cost, time. Pro tip: I'm a stickler for details. I've been to other tailors in the past and have been burned and Miguel has fixed some of their mistakes. That said, I've been coming to him for roughly 5 years now and he's the only tailor I trust to alter suits. read more

One of the easiest 5-star reviews one could give on Yelp. This, in my opinion, is the best tailor shop in Manhattan. Why? - The quality of the work is as high as it gets. - The price-point for the work is as good as it gets. You won't get a better value at any other tailor shop. - The shop is clean, spacious and conveniently located (right off the Delancy/Essex stop). By all means, please point me to a nicer shop that makes customers feel more welcomed, less cramped and less like you've ventured into a dark, swampy hole that you may or may not escape alive. - The staff delivers when they say they will deliver. - Last but not least, Miguel genuinely cares about his customers and their satisfaction. He has shown this to me time and again. I have the coolest leather jacket around to prove my last point. I'll never forget it ... I was exiting the dressing room after a fitting and turned my eye towards the prettiest leather jacket I'd ever seen on a rack nearby. I asked Miguel "Is that a customer's jacket? Who made that thing and where do I get one for myself?". To my surprise, Miguel replied, "No, it's mine ... and I made it myself!". Thinking it was a pipe dream, I asked him to make me one. To make a long story short, 3 weeks later, I'm rockin' one of the coolest jackets in the city, one-of-a-kind style, all thanks to Miguel. It fits me like no off-the-rack jacket could (at least not without a trip to Miguel to fix it up). Save yourself the trouble ... take your clothing here! Menswear or womenswear, it doesn't matter. Miguel will do it better than anyone, and you won't be out a rent payment in the process. Thanks Miguel! read more

Bottomline: is it worth it to gather all my tailoring and trek to Miguel? Yes ma'am! Do I recommend his shop? Ya damn skippy (but only to kind people, to maintain the positive vibes)! TALENTED: handles complicated and easy items with equal skill. I often receive compliments on his work GOOD ENERGY: sweet personality; always feel comfortable in the shop HONEST: comes through on rush jobs; lets you know in advance if a non-rush job is going to take longer than anticipated. Trustworthy recommendations - will give you a heads up if an item will/won't flatter body type; isn't worth tailoring (unless it has sentimental value) AFFORDABLE: fair prices, including heads up on expensive items. Plus, shows special love for repeat customers and bulk jobs CLEAN: large, clean shop with good mirrors, clean bathrooms, no weird dusty smells EDUCATIONAL: proactively lets you know if an item is a quick and/or cheap fix; or on the flip, explains when something seems like a quick fix but is actually complicated read more

Amazing alteration experience for such a fair price for my wedding dress. I was going to get charged a crazy amount to do small alterations on my all lace and silk wedding dress by bridal alteration shops but decided to go to my neighborhood favorite spot where I get other clothing tailored and have always been pleased. The owner was very patient and did a few fittings until I was completely satisfied. I recommend for brides who don't want to get ripped off and have a quick and kind tailor who'll do a wonderful job. read more

If you'd have to choose between a girl and a tailor (never mind silly question), which would it be? In both cases, you end up spending a lot of time and money, there's some love and hate in between, you break up or stick together for a long long time. I think the one with Miguel might easily outlive someone's relationship. It took me quite a while to write this review; mostly because I was busy working but partly I wanted to give a test of time to his works. As Miguel said, some type of suit takes 10~15 days to set into the fit, and you will be able to tell what. So far within last 2 months, I have given him 3 works; - Band of Outsider wool jacket (charged $100 for multiple alteration) - APC jacket sleeve hem ($25) - a couple of designer trousers hem ($7 each) - a woman friend's robe ($40) All done well and each took about a week or two. To me, being able to communicate is the most important thing for any business. From business perspectives, it should not be easy to read customer's style and many tailors for that reason try to only deliver what has been ordered. Miguel, however, is not afraid to give his opinion as well, and he WILL stand behind his works. So no matter how many times it needs fixing, he WILL make it right for you. (In his words, "I am taking this seriously") Luciano Barbera, a seminal Italian designer, once said that when you find a good tailor who would call you by first name, you should never let go. To me, Miguel is the one reliable tailor in NYC you can entrust your expensive suits or clothing. You might get anxious and ask him on the phone ahead, then he will most likely say, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Now isn't the right answer we all look for?! Best, Noa read more

I wandered past Alpha Tailor on my way to another tailor shop and just thought, why not try a new place? The other shop I was headed to is usually pretty busy, and I wasn't sure if there would be a wait. I am so glad I stepped in here and met Miguel. I had a few clothing items that needed work, from the simple (a dress and blazer that needed buttons sewn) to the more complicated (a beaded dress that I'd bought at a sample sale that needed some delicate beadwork to fix). I'd already emailed a different shop a week ago and been told they wouldn't handle the beaded dress. But Miguel said he would take it on. He told me the shop had just opened a week earlier, so he had some time and would try to play around with the beadwork and see if he could fix it. If he couldn't, he promised, he wouldn't do anything. We never set a price. I picked the dress up three days later, and it was practically good as new. He did a beautiful job and charged a very reasonable price for what must have taken him a lot of time! I'm definitely going to go back to him, and would love to see him do well with his new business. Definitely recommend you give him a try. read more

I needed a suit altered for the next time to be ready in time for a wedding. Stopped at Nelson tailors but they were too busy to fit me in and referred me here. I couldn't have been happier. Miguel took great care of me. My suit needed some tricky alterations. I needed the shoulders smoothed out and made more natural and some material removed from the back and neck area. Not only was Miguel's work top notch, he had the suit done for me the same day. Prices are also competitive (not the cheapest, but you'll get more than what you pay for here). Will definitely be back. read more

I'm a traveling tailor in the menswear industry. Been in this business for more than 5 years traveling around the country doing bespoke Italian suiting. I've tested and tried so many alteration tailors in these past years who were knowledgeable and artisanal enough to gain my trust and touch my garments that range from $2500-$8000. I was introduced to Miguel 3 years and it was magic . Honestly the work and attention he gives my garments are bar none incredible. NO ONE would even bother to work with me because it's not worth their time. The amount of attention he gives my garments only shows the love and passion he gives his other customers that are bringing in hems, taper jobs, etc. He's kind, timely, professional and from my experience TRUST ME, if he quotes you a price and you just so happen to know some other tailor who'll do it cheaper I can guarantee it'll be a crap job. I've tried so many tailors here in NYC that just do it as a means to an end and have no passion. If you worked hard enough to invest in this piece of clothing and want to invest the money to fix it, take it to someone that would have the same interest at heart as you do. MIGUEL IS IT. His team is great, and he's conveniently a block off the train station on Essex. Honestly if you have any questions email me at info@angelbespoke.com. You're welcome Angel Ramos ANGEL | BESPOKE ANGELBESPOKE.COM read more

I came here a few months ago to get my suit altered. He screwed my pants big time. Not only are they too tight for me to even tuck in my shirt, but the pant-lines going down both the left and right sides are crooked now. The pockets also budge out and the back pocket has a rip in it. Not sure if I pissed him off or something or rubbed him the wrong way when I went in initially, but it's pretty unfortunate that I can't even wear the suit anymore. I showed some friends and they were pretty shocked about how careless it looked. Maybe I was just unlucky, and just represent a small portion of people who get poor service here, but based on my experience here I do not recommend. read more

I stumbled into this tailor as I walked back home once after trying to go to another tailor and it being closed. I decided to give Alpha Tailor Shop a chance. As I walked in I was greeted by Miguel who was very nice. I had one suit that needed work and 2 pairs of pants that needed tapering. I told Miguel what I wanted to be done and he proceeded to pin up my items. He gave me suggestions and did not feel like he was pushing me to get services that I did not need. When I picked up my items they were completely transformed and fit amazingly well. After that time I've gone once more to get some work done on another suit and some loose fitting shirts. The results were consistent and I left very happy with the alterations. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to get professional and high quality work done at a reasonable price. Don't think I would go to another Tailor after my experience so far. read more

I love this place. I have taken clothes here for basic things, such as shortening pants and fixing a hem as well as slightly more complicated as altering a dress. I have never been disappointed and I think it is fairly priced. Its also very clean and never crowded, he gets the work done very quickly. I drop something off and pick it up two days later. Great Tailor, wouldn't use anyone else. read more

I recently purchased a beautiful blue "Point Zero" jacket which I like very much - it only recently got cold enough to use the hood, so I did and found that it completely covered my face and prevented me from seeing ahead. In despair, I called upon once again the services of Alpha Tailor Shop. I only expected a quick 'zip' with the sewing machine to make it smaller, but Miguel listened attentively to my needs and approached it completely differently. He pinned it up, took out some of the internal components, did a few other things that were to complicated for me to reiterate, and low and behold it was actually better than what I could have expected, and that is no exaggeration. It appears as if the hood was that size originally. I am always amazed at this incredible skill, and appreciative of his humility. I'll try to attach a photo for you so see. read more

I LOVE the folks at Alpha Tailor Shop. Over the years, I've had numerous dresses altered to perfection. Recently, I bought in a very unusual project - a round, pillow shaped like a globe. The seams of the globe pillow were ripped and stuffing was spilling out. Today, I picked up my globe pillow and it looks AMAZING!!! This item has such sentimental value to me. I'm grateful that it was mended with such care and skill. read more

I'm not sure I need to go into the merits of Miguel's (and team's) impeccable work or immense professionalism as many other reviews have already done it for me. I will add that in the 2+ years I've been going to Alpha Tailor Shop, I've completely stopped trying on most clothing (that I know will need some work) before I buy it as I'm that confident in Miguel's ability. I have brought dozens of pieces of clothing here (ranging from pants to high end suits) for tailoring, all of which came out as if they were originally custom made. From simple mending of holes to complete restructuring of suit jackets, these guys do it all. Even better, the prices are some of the lowest in town for the quality of the workmanship. Very highly recommended. read more

Super. Just like another reviewer, walked by and thought "why not?" and I've been using him for the past year. Miguel always takes time to explain things and will often do something right up while you wait, or do something quick gratis. I have used him about 1/2 dozen times so far, and he has rescued 2 pieces of clothing that were butchered by other shops when I couldn't make it to Alpha and thought I'd try a quickie in my own 'hood. No more -it's straight to Miguel with anything more complicated than a hem (and to him with most hem jobs too). read more

Miguel is fantastic, extremely professional and a very talented tailor. I was the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding and needed a great tailor to hem and take in my gown. I tried to get into Stanton Tailor Shop, but they were so busy that it would have taken a minimum of three weeks to do my dress. With the wedding three weeks away, this wasn't an option. I passed by Alpha Tailor on my way home and decided to check the Yelp reviews. There weren't many but everyone had given Alpha 5 stars. So, I went in. Not only did Miguel get the dress done in a week and a half, he did such a beautiful job and provided wonderful customer service. My dress was ready a couple of days earlier than he'd originally anticipated, so he called me and told me I could come pick it up whenever. He even offered to stay at the shop a little later in case I couldn't get there in time after work. When I did pick up the dress, it fit perfectly. Miguel told me if I needed anything else before the wedding I could call him and come in anytime. This wasn't necessary because he did an amazing job the first time. Miguel admits Alpha isn't the cheapest option around, but he takes pride in his work and promises the quality is better. And I definitely agree. He took a bridesmaid dress and made it into a beautiful, perfectly fitting gown. I won't go to any other tailor in the neighborhood! read more

I brought my boyfriend here to get two of his suits tailored, and they turned out beautifully. He didn't need them urgently, but he still was able to pick them up in less than a week. Miguel worked with him to get the fit exactly right. For two suits- taking in both blazers, taking in both pairs of pants, and hemming them, the price was $290. read more

Masterful, conscientiousness, professional tailor. Alpha has handled complicated alterations for my family that other tailors didn't want to touch-- very ornate formal dress for my young daughter, cuffed suit pants, suit jacket. I've used other tailor services here, in my neighborhood, and other cities where I've lived over the last 25 years, and Alpha is among the best. Now, i won't bother going anywhere else in town. read more

Miguel is the best. I've brought in simple repairs like holes in cuffs or missing buttons to really complicated work like shortening and taking in the shoulders of an expensive suit from a 38R to a 36S and the work is immaculate. I've also brought in a closet full of shirts to be taken in. It's like I have a new wardrobe. He's also a really friendly, fair dude who often throws in simple work gratis. I highly recommend him. read more

Excellent service. My husband and I have been coming here for a few years now and we are always very happy with the alterations. I've had dresses, pants, jackets altered and my husband has had casual and dress pants, dress shirts and suits altered. All perfectly done and with a fair price. We have since moved from the neighborhood but come back here for alterations. The only tailor we trust! read more

The tailor i trust in NYC. He's worked on countless suits, shirts, women's clothing, & random things like backpack rips. GREAT price, I trust his tailoring eye & definitely recommend. I moved to UWS, but always bring my garments back to Miguel... Just wish he was closer lol. read more

A truly terrible experience. The short of it is that Alpha was unable to get a suit to sit right on me; in fact the work done seems to have made it worse. When I came to pick it up, Miguel first told me there was no problem, and then that problem was not with the work but with me and the shape of my body. I responded by asking if there is anything that could be done or if this was a lost cause. Eventually he yelled at me about how I just wanted the work for free and how nothing would satisfy me. He then charged me only for a slight tapering of the jacket sleeves and the pant legs. The full story is as follows. I brought in the suit on a Wednesday or a Thursday, and one of the shop employees looked at it on me and pinned the pants and jacket. The employee said it would be done by next Tuesday (a very fast turnaround time). After I left, I got a call from Miguel asking that I come back in so he could see the jacket on me and make sure tailoring it wouldn't be in vain. So I did. He looked at the suit on me, stated that the work was doable, and then I went on my way. I went back on Tuesday and tried on the suit. The main issue was that the jacket, now more tapered to my waist, pulled on one side. It wasn't tight; it just pulled. I asked about that, and Miguel told me that any jacket tailored to the wearer would do that. I assured him I owned garments tailored to my body that did not pull. He then told me the cause might be that I had my cell phone in the pant pocket on the side with the pull. I took the phone out of my pocket, and of course it still pulled. At this point, Miguel said the problem was that one of my shoulders is lopsided, so the problem isn't with the work he did on the jacket, but with how I stand and how my body is shaped. He further extolled how he can't fix the way people are shaped or how they stand. I replied by asking if anything could be done to make the jacket fit me, accounting for whatever is unique about my body (i.e. the very reason why someone brings a garment to a tailor). Miguel suggested extra padding at the shoulder. So he put in the padding, but the pad was quite visible through the jacket. First, the shoulders of the jacket now had noticeably different shapes from one another. Second, the outline of the padding was visible through the jacket! And the one-sided pull was only slightly reduced. Miguel denied the padding was visible and told me I was just being difficult. He then, for the first time, claimed that the jacket was just too long, so slight pulls and creases were inevitable. Keep in mind that Miguel saw the jacket on me before agreeing to do the work. When he called me back in to see how the jacket fit, I thought this spoke very well of him. With that said, he clearly misjudged what he could do. If he didn't think he could tailor the jacket properly, he shouldn't have taken the job. Alternatively, if the jacket needed more work than he first thought and something could have been done, he could've said so and told me it would be a bigger job. I would have paid more to have the job done right. That would've been fine. Instead, Miguel started yelling, as mentioned above, and removed his added padding and largely undid the work of taking the jacket in, as in his estimations his alterations had made things worse. When he finished the work (keep in mind I was in the shop throughout all of these alterations), he said the tailoring had caused the pull and that he didn't want me to have something not to my satisfaction. He charged me only for the tapering of the arms and the legs, not for the other work on the jacket. I think this whole process took about an hour. First, I would advise anyone I know who requires a careful tailoring job to take their business somewhere else. Perhaps the job was undoable owing to how the suit was made and my body shape. If that is the case, Miguel should have said this when he saw the jacket on me, rather than trying to tell me that some creasing and pulling is normal. Second, the experience was exceptionally unpleasant. No one goes to a business to be yelled at. Moreover, no one wants to hear "the problem is your body." I'm a slim man, so I was not offended the way others might be, but I can imagine those words traumatizing plenty of people. Tailoring is supposed to make a garment work for the wearer. Not all garments can be made to work for all wearers. But if the tailor comes to believe he cannot do a good job, he should say so. If he realizes after alterations that he was wrong to take the job, he should say so. He should not try to say that obvious problems look fine and are normal. read more

Distressed, luxuriously soft linen trousers were a perfect fit, yet tore at the seat. So, I purchased a larger pair and they tore in the same place. Miguel said it wasn't the fit, rather the over-treated distressed linen.... Miguel sutured the seats with artistic thread work, not only salvaging pricey pants I thought I would have to trash, but he created an even more fashionable looking design. He is also so very sweet, professional and accommodating. Well worth the trek from BK to LES, when there are countless tailors in my neighborhood. My closet is about to get a makeover. read more

What a great find, even if it is after 50 other Yelpers have already reviewed the shop! I only had a minor repair, so Miguel took care of it while I waited. It was a small hole in a sweater that disappeared when he was finished with it!

This is now not only my go to tailor shop but the one I will recommend to everyone else! read more

Amazing tailor that I highly recommend. No joke - another tailor told me they couldn't fix the shoulder area of my jacket because it was too complicated, and they said that I should go to Alpha because they're the best for difficult work. And they were right. Alpha is truly as good as it gets! read more
