We asked to have 3 pairs of men's boots reheeled and 1 pair of women's boots stretched. He said he would be done by Friday (4 days later) but to call if he hadn't called us yet and asked for a deposit since it would be about $90. Friday morning he called and our shoes were ready. He reheeled the men's boots and sealed the suede on one pair, as well as stretched and put a traction pad on the women's boots since he noticed they were new and slippery. No extra charge for the suede sealing or heal traction. His attention to detail earned him two satisfied customers. What really sold was his willingness to turn down work that he is not an expert in. I asked if he worked on leather handbags.He said he could clean my bag but wouldn't feel comfortable charging me for a color treatment as it wasn't his expertise and wouldn't want the bag to then stain my clothes. I appreciate the honestly, it proves he takes pride in his work. I will return again and again for any shoe service I may need.

John is an excellent, old school, detailed tailor. If you need a suit in 2 days, he is probably not…read moreyour guy. If you want your suit in a reasonable amount of time and want it to look perfect on you; he's the man. The amount of customers he has is reflective of this fine craftsmanship. An example of this is that I recently lost a significant amount of weight (over 50 lbs) and also changed my body type (added muscle through Crossfit). My suits were a train-wreck. I brought 4 of my old, I'll-fitting suits to John. 4 weeks later, I picked them up and was AMAZED at how great they looked. I needed major work in the pants, and my coats all needed the chest area brought in; basically an athletic cut that the suits were NOT originally made with. My suits look custom-made for me.

old world tailoring in a modern age, that's for sure…read more i bought a suit online and needed pants and a jacket adjusted. prior to my visit, i knew nothing about where to go for men's tailoring. a google search provided a few names in the area, but as far as where to go from there, i was basically at a loss. (the search kind of brought me back to the early days of yelp, when you'd search for certain restaurants around syracuse and were unable find any info... about anything... things have certainly changed since 2008). anyway, i decided on john berardi. i knew very little about his shop, aside from finding a random video on youtube, so my decision was somewhat on a whim. all and all, i figured getting an italian suit looked at by an older italian man who's been in business on the city's northside for several decades was a fairly safe bet. it's a bit like stepping back in time when you enter the small shop; old sewing machines, cast-iron clothing racks, etc... so i wasn't sure what to expect at first, but john was great. super friendly, heavy italian accent and personality, and he knew what he was talking about (he recommended getting the cuffs removed on my non-pleated pants as well). i told him i needed my suit done in about 2 weeks. adjustments were done within 1 week. price was about average ($45 for jacket and pant alterations). stitching looks aok too. as the world becomes more and more introverted and we inundate ourselves with cell phones and technology, it's extremely refreshing to see a friendly, low-key, long-running, and small business that's essentially non-existant online still going strong. most of the racks lining the walls were filled with suits, and a seamstress (i'm assuming his wife) was busy stitching and sewing the whole time i was in there, so they're fairly busy; which is a good thing. these types of places (as well as italian barbers, italian bakeries, german meat markets, german breweries, etc...) were once a mainstay during the golden age of syracuse and only vanish as the years go on. enjoy them while they're still here. (not sure of their hours, so it's best to call. i think he closes around 5 or 6pm on weekdays. they lock the front door for safety during the day, so just knock if he doesn't see you. and if i recall correctly, it's cash only).

Outstanding craftsmanship and old-school service…read more Edward's Tailors on Jefferson Street is everything you hope a great tailor will be--and increasingly hard to find. The craftsmanship is exceptional, the fit is spot-on, and the attention to detail is obvious the moment you put the garment on. Edward knows his trade inside and out. He doesn't just take measurements; he actually looks at how a garment hangs on your body and makes thoughtful adjustments that elevate the final result. Whether it's a suit, sport coat, or simple alterations, the work is precise, clean, and done right the first time.

We used to live across the street but never paid attention when he was in. If he's busy or weather permits, he stays his hours. He has set hours of M-F 10-3 pm.

My husband is always satisfied with all his clothes. We are now living in Maryland and called Mr Edward to bring my husbands clothes this week. He said he will have them ready by the time we have to return to Maryland, and they will. We are happy customers and we highly recommend. Prices are reasonable and you will be happy.

After speaking to the seamstress and describing our desires IN DETAIL, she advised she could fix the beading. I also asked to add skin toned mesh to the bust of the dress for modesty. I specified that if it could not be done or if she could not find the material that it is fine and it could be left as is. All we needed was the beading since the dress fit perfectly and Asked to add the skin colored mesh but we thought why not hem it too since it was offered. This part was offered and not requested but I did accept. I called a 3 days after the pick up date and the dress wasn't ready so I asked when it would be and then they said a few hours. Seemed strange but we were excited. When we picked up the dress, the beading was never touched at all. The bust was patched with a square piece from the bottom of the dress. The dress still had a slight smell (prior to dropping off the smell was stronger because it was stored for years which is why it needed to be cleaned). On top of that, the dress and HAD STAINS THAT WERE NOT THERE BEFORE. My daughter was heartbroken and disappointed. The owner reduced our bill from 87 to 40 but I'm upset that I paid anything being that they ruined the dress, stained it, didn't clean it thoroughly , hemed it incorrectly, added the wrong material to the bust and didn't touch the beading which was the entire point of bring the dress in. We came out WORSE by bringing the dress in than we would have if we didn't bring it at all. I ended up LOSING AND EXTRA 100 dollars after bringing it to another dry cleaner and another seamstress. Not to mention this added weeks of trouble. Thank God I am a planner and started 6 weeks in advance of prom or we'd be out of luck. Things are too expense to pay 2 and 3x for the same service. After telling the story to a few people I realized they had the same issue with the same place. Sorry for the long post but I felt it was my duty to warn others.
