Charlie's Custom Tailor Alterations - The main area of the business. - Men's Clothing Near Me - New York, New York

Wonderful work on a couple of more complex bits of tailoring I needed done. Definitely on the pricier side for midtown, but trust that these guys will get the job done (Marcos even did some rework on one item that needed further adjustments). read more

Brought in a pair of dress pants for a simple waist and hem adjustment. They took weeks, charged a premium, and still botched the job -- the waist was uneven and the hems puckered. When I complained, they refused a refund and only offered to "redo" the work. Poor craftsmanship, slow service, and zero accountability. read more

Needed a straightforward suit alternation done, but done quickly, and Charlie's knocked it out without issue. I can't speak for more complicated tailoring, but they were able to adjust new suit pants in an hour or so. read more

Fantastic tailor! I was on a huge time crunch and needed some pieces altered for a wedding I was attending. Another tailor actually recommended Charlie's for me as they were unable to accommodate the date I would need my clothing back by. I made my way to Charlie's which is super close to my office and they were able to take me in! The lady helping me was super nice and the tailor himself was efficient at making the adjustments. My items were tailored as expected by the date requested! I truly appreciate the service and quick turnaround that Charlie's was able to provide. While my items require easy alterations, the fabrics and cuts of the items were complicated. Charlie's will definitely be my go to tailor from now on! read more

Very clean super service. Very fast. I'm glad to find this place. Especially in today's day in the world where Tailors are closing their offices. read more

I was apprehensive going here because I had no idea what was going to be. And the gown that needed alterations was for my son's upcoming wedding... super important!! I have never met a more experienced and lovely person. her name is Tracy and I believe she is the owner. She knew exactly what the dress needed even before I could open my mouth . I had no idea that I needed certain things done and when she pointed it out and pinned it ,that made a world of difference. I read another review from a so-called blogger... Who called her "some old blonde lady"... First of all it's despicable of this person to be a agist and I have a newsflash for that blogger! She's not going to stay whatever the hell age she is right now she's going to grow older someday as well and Karma is a bitch! As soon as I read that I knew this was a bitter person who was probably way more nasty then she accused Tanya of being... Not cheap but but worth every dime and I have incredible faith that when I go pick it up it's going to look perfect and she made my mind rest easy when she said if there are problems she would fix it no worries... I more than recommend this place! read more

Was told to come by on a specific day (a holiday). I was hesistant because it was a holiday but the lady reassured me multiple times they'd be open.. I came all the way to the shop to pick up my dress that I spent nearly $300 to get altered from QUEENS on my birthday and they were not open... read more

Marcos never disappoints. He is a perfectionist when it comes to altering the smallest piece or constructing a custom made suit. He treats every client like family and ever garment as if it's precious. Best prices in all of NYC and I recommend him for all of your alterations and bespoke needs! read more

Charlie's Custom Tailor Alterations - Men's Clothing Near Me - New York, New York

I was really impressed with my experience here. Marco was a true professional. I came in with 2 suits that were starting to look zoot-suit-esque. Way too baggy. I didn't end up having any work done, as I had decided to cut my losses. That being said, Marco and the rest of the staff were so considerate in holding my suit and allowing me to pick it up a few days later, at no charge. I felt like a bad customer for not going through with the alterations, but Marco never lost his cool. That's rare, and I appreciate that. You've earned a future customer. read more

A different tailor service who had been doing the alterations for my wedding dress had bungled the job, and with only a few days before I needed to leave for the wedding, I was desperate to find someone who could fix it. I came here, and this place did an incredible job fixing the dress in a very short timeline. I'm incredibly grateful. They were professional, detail-oriented, and immediately understood exactly what needed to be adjusted so that the dress would fit correctly. I'm amazed how quickly they were able to save the dress, and by the quality of the work. I absolutely recommend them! read more

Brought a Brunello suit in for alterations. A tailor I'd been working with for years recently went out of business and wouldn't trust such a suit to just anyone. Reviews were generally​ positive so I thought I'd give them a try.​ I am very impressed not only by the quality of the alterations but with the detail of the fitter. In addition to pant and sleeve lengths,​ we also took in the pants a bit and did some work on the blades of the jacket. We also opened the buttonholes on the sleeves, which meant that they had to adjust the length from the shoulder. So, it wasn't cheap, and probably one-third to 50% higher than my previous tailor. But the suit looks awesome. So I might not take them everything -- but definitely trust them with high-end stuff. read more

I have been a repeat customer at Charlie's during this entire year. I have come in for alterations perhaps 20 times this year. Here are the following types of alterations I have had with success: Shirts - lengthen/shorten sleeve length - taper sleeves and body for slimmer fit - moving buttons on the cuffs to get a tighter fit around the wrist Jackets - lengthen/shorten sleeve length - taper sleeves and waist for slimmer fit - removing the rolling of fabric in the back under the collar - re-installing new shoulder pads - removing divots on the sleeve head near the shoulder Vests - letting out a vest that was too tight Pants - tapering pants - taking in / letting out waist - taking in / letting out seat - lengthen/shorten pant length - making cuffed hems - hemming jeans - removing belt loops and adding suspender buttons Some alterations I have inquired about but have not yet performed: - adding side adjuster tabs on pants - shortening a suit jacket - fixing the bowing of the lapels on the chest (when the lapels don't lay neatly flat on the chest) - turning non-functioning sleeve buttons into functional buttons. The customer service is great: - All of the staff are pleasant and welcoming (especially the manager Elizabeth). They take time to make conversation and make an effort to remember my fashion preferences and also things about my life/work. - I never feel rushed to get in / get out - I never feel pressured to do, or not do, an alteration; they politely give personal opinions and recommendations but ultimately it is me who comfortably makes the final decision without feeling judged. - When I pick up the altered item and didn't turn out to my liking, they have done the second alteration without charge and they don't make me feel bad about it. - I am on their mailing list and receive cash discount coupons. Frequency appears to be once a month or so, more frequently during the big holidays. Once I didn't have any coupons on me but during checkout they looked for one and took $30 off my order. The business space itself is spacious, tidy, and professional. There is a backroom behind the counter that is curtained off, where all the work is done and where every customer's clothing is stored. It is nice not to visually see that aspect of business operations, compared to other tailor shops I've been to where there is too much clutter. There is also a showroom for custom tailoring; I haven't had any custom clothing made by Charlie's yet but as I continue to refresh my wardrobe I imagine that day will come some day soon. I am a satisfied customer and will continue to be a patron of Charlie's. read more

Can't disagree with anyone who has left a review for Charlie's. Walked into Charlie's after the rank joint across the street screwed up my appointment, I came in from Washington DC. I left the rank joint steaming mad and then I looked up and saw the display in the window. I walked in and was greeted by Marco and he made me feel at home. I was introduced to all the fabrics and styles that were available. Three fitting for a 3 peace athletic cut BANGER with shirt, the suit was SLAMMIN!!!!!!! Marco even shipped it for me, can't tell you how much I appreciate it you lil homie. Thanks!!!!! read more

This place is great - very convenient for people working in midtown and great service. Marco has treated me very well, being very reasonable with prices and it feels like he has the customer's interest in mind at all times. One a couple of occasions, he felt that there could be improvements on the work done and recommended that they take another stab at the alterations. He has also recommended not making certain alterations that seemed unnecessary to him, so I am comfortable that he is not just going to tack on unnecessary costs for his customers. I've gotten 3 or 4 suits tailored here, and the work has been very high quality. Highly recommend. read more

Terrific tailors and customer service. After my local dry cleaners cut one too many suits short, I decided to find professionals. Fortunately, I found Charlie's Custom Tailor. Marcos was very patient and easy to work with, and clearly knows the craft. He took the time to explain what work needed to be done and what work could be spared -- all without any sales pressure. Marcos also worked with me on my return to make sure the fit was right. I am so glad I brought my suits and separates to Charlie's Custom Tailor. read more

Very friendly staff and attentive to detail. Excited for my favorite winter jacket to get a fresh start read more

Let me just say it succinctly, Marcos and the team at Charlie's are great. When doing fittings, Marcos is very detail oriented and will take the time to explain what he recommends and does not recommend anything that doesn't need to be done. Alterations are done very professionally done and completed in a timely fashion. They've done many fairly complex alterations for me including reducing the chest and shortening the length of my suit jacket. In short they are one of the best tailors I've been to in NYC and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who appreciates quality alterations and good customer service. read more

Great service. Paying for high quality tailor jobs. Trust them completely. Kind employees.

Marcos is the only tailor I trust. Being a woman who prefers a men's silhouette in a suit takes a certain attention to detail and he nails it every time. He's done everything from my alterations to making a bespoke suit for me that i still get compliments on today. Prices are great and his sense of customer appreciation brings me back. read more

I've been coming to this place since 2018 and still love it as the works this guys do is always exceptional which I appreciate along with the friendly and caring stuff. Highly recommend. read more

Exceptionally fast turnaround time-- great work! I will definitely be coming back again. Excellent customer service too. Thanks, CCT! read more

Most clothes don't fit me right, and I'm picky about it. I wasn't looking forward to my first tailoring experience. Marco fit my suit perfectly. Just the right amount of cut. Feeling great about how I'm gonna look on my wedding day! read more

Lisbeth, Elizabeth and Donny are great! They helped alter sleeves on a coat and did it perfectly!

I had 5 pants shortened. very professional job. and while not cheap, it is great for midtown NYC, and most importantly, very good value for the money. read more

Charlie's is a great place for tailoring. Friendly staff, comfortable space, and quality work. One visit 3 years ago turned us into regular customers. read more

The only tailor I trust! My garments are always ready in a timely fashion and fit to perfection. I'm short and often have a hard time finding items that are the right length so tailoring my items is always a necessity. I never hesitate to bring my items in to Charlie's and have always had pleasant experiences here. read more

I've been coming here for the past three years and have been extremely pleased with the consistent craftsmanship and customer service every visit. So happy I finally found a tailor I can trust 100%. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I needed an emergency alteration. This is the only shop that was willing to even handle it same day for me. Grateful!

I've come to Charlie's for complicated alterations on two dresses now, and I've been very satisfied with their friendly service and excellent, detail-oriented work. Happily recommend! read more

The absolute best. Done 2 suits here and will be bringing all close in need of altering in the future. These guys are true professionals, and so friendly the way business should be! read more

These guys are the best. I've worked almost exclusively with Marco. I've had one custom suit made by him. I was extremely happy with the excellent tailoring. I decided to give him two of my older suits (both custom) to fix because I wasnt happy with the way they were made. It involved a lot of work: fix the shoulders and the entire fit of the suit, take out the pleats in the pants etc. They did a fantastic job, couldn't be happier. They are not cheap but completely worth it, in the long run, its cheaper because they will get it right the first time or keep working, free of charge, till they do. read more

This has become my go to place for alterations. Today I am sending in my second suit because the first one was nicely done. I am totally satisfied with the work and the service. Marco is extremely professional and helped me decide what needs to be done to my suit so it can fit me like skin. I will definitely come back. read more

Great place for your suit and alteration needs! I've done 2 made to measure suits and they came out fabulous. Lots of customization options at an affordable price. Alterations are also a breeze, I've had many slacks tapered and hemmed and suits adjusted to fit better. Worth checking them out! read more

Made an appointment online to alter my newly-arrived (and too large) Indochino suit. The support reps at Indochino recommended Charlie's. Marco took time to listen to my concerns and desired changes. Then, he efficiently pinned and marked everything. He discussed the cost of the necessary changes and, instead of having me allow him to make the changes, suggested I return the suit so it could be remade without incurring additional expense (as the cost of the changes would exceed the $75 Indochino credit). He provided me updated measurements and even left all the pins in place so the suit can be adjusted to fit perfectly. For all of this help, he charged me nothing. I know where I'm going next time I need alterations. read more

I've been coming to Charlie's Custom Tailor for about 2 years now and I always leave the place satisfied. Marco and his staff do exceptional work and their turnaround time is second to none. The staff is extremely friendly and you always know what you'll get with your tailoring at Charlie's Custom Tailor. I've gotten everything under the sun tailored from this place, including suits, jeans, pants, shirts of all kind, etc. This place is 100% my go-to tailor in NYC and second to none. Highly recommended! read more

I had 8 custom shirts made in hard to find colours; the final product was spectacular, and I got tonnes of compliments. Marcos did a fabulous job. I then decided to have an overcoat made and just picked it up. Again my expectations have been exceeded, excellent craftmanship. I am so happy with everything I had made here. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. My new coat received lots of raves. They do five star work at Charlies. read more

I decided that I wanted to get a custom liner for a Levi's Trucker Jacket I had purchased so I traveled from Albany to NYC to hit some fabric stores. While down there I took a quick look at local tailor reviews and i thought Charlie's Custom Tailors looked promising. They have a nice shop and I found them to be extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. They gave me a time frame for the work and it was done a few days before the promise date. Due to inclement weather the shop had to close and consider closing a second day but they called to let me know that almost 48 hours ahead of time. I can't tell you how many times I've traveled to find a place closed that knew I was coming for an item so this was very a very welcome gesture. The best part about the whole deal was the work itself they killed it. Its exactly what I wanted and the work is so precise it looks like it was made that way from the start. I will be returning with any alterations I have when I shop in the city. read more
