Needed a tailor fast to fix and close by since was about to go on holiday. They were able to accomodate a very tight timeline on a such a short notice. They did an amazing job at converting old pants into shorts, and taking in shirts! They are fairly affordable for the area too which is a huge plus. Can't wait to bring more tailoring items to them in the future! read more

Had several pairs of pants altered here for fit. The results were a bit too tight in the rear, with fabric "creeping up" from behind in an unpleasant and unsightly way. They also stapled tags to my clothing, which is not a good way to treat delicate fabrics. I accepted the pants at the store because the flaws didn't really bother me until I had to wear the pants for a day. It wasn't a good value, given the uncomfortable result. read more

Got turned away because the dress i wanted to get taken in was "too big". I didn't even try it on, simply held it up. Didn't like that

These guys are great. They take their time, don't do shortcuts, and deliver a very precise product. I've had them completely re-structure multiple suit jackets of delicate material, and each had come back perfect. Always good vibes in the shop too. read more

This tailor has saved me many times. These guys are crazy talented. Quick turn around times. Fair prices. Downtown people- run don't walk! This is the spot! read more

I considered rating with 4 stars or 5, because of the quality of my past hemming services. Unfortunately, I want to share about some things to keep in mind so I decided as 3. Quality of hemming, sawing: Fantastic. I brought over a wedding dress with lace material and cloths attached underneath that seemed difficult for anyone to hem, but this place gives satisfying results. I also brought pants to hem a few other times. Those results were great, too. Quality of customer service: 1. Could be low depends on how busy this place gets. Seems like there is one person handling everything at once. If there are capacity limits, the store needs to make a rule such as , "During our busy time, we can only help x(# of items) at that time due to limited numbers of staff availability." I came in to pick up my hemmed item yesterday, and there was one gentleman getting helped to be hemmed for multiple jackets and pants. I was next to use the dressing room. Meanwhile, there were 2 customers casually stopped by to drop off their stuff to be fixed. The gentleman took enormous amount of time. The lady who came in later then me left. Another lady who came after me seemed like she was ok to wait but that was like 30-40 min. The gentleman kept trying on about at least 4 or 5 items and of course, it was his turn so he seems not caring how much time he was spending at the fitting room. 2. During their busy time, they might respond to customers who asks questions in a sloppy manner. If you want to get advice or help from this tailor, you may want to come back another time when it is not busy. 3. Miscommunication inside the store between staffs: The dress I dropped off supposed to be done about a week later. But towards the end of the week, they noticed and called me that nothing was done. The staff explained to me that one of the team was stupid so the markers marked on the edge of the dress smeared off so it needs to be done again (by me trying on). I only cared if the service was done on the date as we promised, but the whole explanation about other staff being sloppy was unnecessary. Very unprofessional. read more

Wonderful tailor in a super convenient location! I dropped off some minor repairs I needed done and they were able to fix a vintage silk shirt I had that most people were unsure I'd be able to fix. The stitching is very well done and you wouldn't even notice that it was a repair. Will be coming back for more alterations! read more

Franco is the best! I've been going to him for years with a variety of different needs and he always nails it. He's done everything simple from hemming pants to bringing in the crotch on pants and re-constructing a pants leg to a different size. Can't recommend him enough. read more

Everyone should have a tailor. And I just found mine. Great work, great service. And good pricing. WIN WIN WIN read more

Thank goodness for Ivon and East Side Cleaners. He was so professional, kind and accommodating. My daughter needed a pair of pants hemmed (same day) because she had her Capstone presentation the very next day. She really wanted to wear these pants! I found Eastside cleaners doing a search on Yelp and I couldn't be more happy and impressed with the quality of the tailoring. We were able to get the pants taken care of same day. And by the way, this was on a Sunday! I highly recommend! read more

FRANCO IS A MASTER TAILOR!!! The shop's work is impeccable. I had asked for two pair of jeans to be altered from mid-rise to high rise. Not an easy job. At first he was hesitant, but decided to give it a try while I waited. Both pair of jeans now fit as if custom-made. I am delighted and highly recommend them. read more

I had a dress that never got a lot of wear even though it was beautiful because it looked too much like lingerie (even though that was the whole point of the dress). I decided that I wanted to turn it into a top so I could wear it more often. I had a vision of adding belt loops and side slits and Franco and I communicated very thoroughly to make sure I got want I needed. I said I wanted to wear this for my birthday over the weekend, and he actually finished the job on the same day I came in just to make sure I had what I wanted. Hemming the dress, adding side slits, and making belt loops came up to around $68. I'm very nitpicky about how I like my clothes to fit, and I'm glad Franco has the same eye for detail that I do. The finesse is incredible. I definitely coming back here for any future alterations that I may have! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! I had passed it by for years & I never had much clothing to be tailored.... When I had a pair of new business pants that I never wore in couple of years, I forgot the bottom was alittle long & would make me trip over, even in shoes! So I went here Friday morning to drop them off for a tailoring & needed them by Monday morning for a interview that afternoon! Mateo was the sweetest person who greeted me, introduced himself with handshaking my hand & told me step by step what to do, how to pose, what his recommendation was & so forth! I never felt so comfortable before!!! ! It's tiny but it's very almighty!!! Monday morning came & he greeted me with my first name (which I was surprised he remembered because it's very hard to remember for most people lol) so that made me feel very special and welcomed! It was ready and within few minutes I was out the door! We had a nice chat & I said whenever I have my next tailoring need clothing ready, I already know who to come to directly! Thank you Mateo & thank you east side tailors for getting this done for me & hopefully I crushed that interview I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING HERE FOR ALL YOUR TAILOR NEEDS!!!! read more

East Side Tailor - Perfectly pressed pants, nice hemmed bottom & fits perfectly! Best $25 spent ever! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - New York, New York

The owner Guery was responsive and helpful. My moms dress was not going her and we had a wedding to go to very soon. I called and spoke to Guery and told me not worry about anything he was going to fix it and bring in the next day in which I did and not only he fixed my moms dress it was brand new. I will recommend this place to anyone. Attentive to details and good bedside manner. read more

Staff are extremely friendly. Fast service and good prices. The staff are welcoming and easy to talk with. Highly recommend. Both of my suits were altered very nicely. read more

Amazing service! I was in and out with fixed jeans in 15 minutes! So fast and did perfect. Thank you!

WOMEN: DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. I called ahead on a Sat morning to ask if they were busy. The guy asked what I had, I said "three dresses to be altered," and he said to grab my shoes and come by. I got there 40 mins later, there were no other customers in the shop, just were 3 men on sewing machines. The guy I had spoken to asked me to see the dresses and then said he they were too complicated / the work was too hard. He said he didn't have enough staff to take on anymore projects. He didn't even look at the dresses while saying this. I reminded him we had just spoken on the the phone and that he had invited me to come by. He shrugged and suggested I go to Gramercy Park to get the work done. ?!?!?! As he was sending me away, despite the shop being empty, a man walks in with a suit repair. They greet the man warmly, and get to work on his order right away. I have never seen such open misogyny on display and I am SHOCKED to see positive reviews for this shop here. I am not sure if it was Franco I was dealing with, or if he was out of town, however, if you need a tailor in the neighborhood who won't make you feel small for being a woman, I'd highly recommend the Atelier on 7th St. East Side was an unprofessional, belittling waste of time. I am shocked they are in business. read more

This is the most I have ever paid for tailoring but I have to say it was worth it. I am a small person and I have to get most of my clothing tailored. I was on the look for a good tailor for a couple of months and I found East Side Tailor. They were very professional and attentive to how I wanted my clothing tailored. Very fast and efficient, dropped my clothes on Tuesday and were ready by Saturday and this was me telling them I was in no rush. For the amount of reconstruction that has to happen for my clothes, I give them a 11/10 for the job. It is perfect, is looks like I bought it that way. read more

Franco is THE BEST! He hemmed my dress to perfection within 3 hours and is the nicest, kindest man. I HIGHLY recommend going here - the customer service and care you can't get anywhere else. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! I called a bit before 7pm (the time they close) to make sure I could drop off 2 jackets I wanted altered. The owner told me to come on in. When I arrived he looked at my jackets and proceeded to alter them right away. After 45 minutes my jackets were done and I was very happy with the result! My request was not a difficult one; however, for the owner to stay past closing to accommodate me was very unexpected and a character of how committed this tailor is to his profession. I 10/10 recommend this tailor and would use them again! read more

The work they did for me is 5 star. There was one item they declined to handle, so if I could give half stars, I'd give 4.5 stars, docking a half star for that. I had a winter coat with hidden buttons under a placket . The edge of the panel with the button holes in it was piped, and over time, some of the covering for the piping wore through, so the white inner cord showed. I brought in the coat, hoping that there was a way to recover the piped edge. Mateo gave me an estimate of $35 and within days, the work was done, and it was SO well done that you'd have no idea, even looking closely, that there had ever been an issue. On the other hand, I also brought in a beautiful coat that had been my mother's but that was too big for me. It was a squared off shape, with bulky sleeves and an odd dropped shoulder, like a dolman sleeve but with a seam a couple inches down the arm. Mateo didn't think it could be altered down to fit me better because of the design of the sleeves. Franco (the master tailor) was in the hospital at the time, but was due out relatively soon, so I left the coat there so that he could look at it and see whether the tailoring could be done. Ultimately, Mateo told me that Franco had looked at it once he was back at work and decided that it could not be altered to fit me. Franco never saw it on me. On my way home with the coat that day, I stopped at another tailoring store, just to see what could be done. This past Sunday, I picked up the altered coat at the second store (not East Side Tailor), and I'm very happy with the alteration and will be able to wear the coat. So even though East Side Tailor said it couldn't be done, that turned out to be incorrect. read more

Walked into the store without an appointment for a hole in my jean pocket and was patched up right away without any cost! I know this doesn't speak to more extensive projects, but will be back due to the great customer service I experienced! read more

Franco and his team are superb. This is great tailor knows his work well and can do quality alterations and special jobs on a wide variety of garments. He always efficient in his turn around times and great to work with. Recommend this tailor for sure 100% read more

East Side Tailor did a FANTASTIC job on a couple of dresses I needed for a wedding. One was a double layer hem, the other was one of those flowing, silky dresses that can be tough to take in and make a shape. They did a great job on both, and cannot recommend them enough! I'll post pictures with an updated review once I wear them. I will say this: don't go in for a rush job. It is an extremely small workspace, with very few people, and on both drop off and pick up there were quite a few people waiting to get inside. I'd say plan a couple weeks in advance to be on the safe side! The owner is super responsive on Yelp though, so it never hurts to reach out here to get a quote and a timing estimate. Overall, compared to other places I looked at, the value for quality is amazing. read more

Have always had great experiences bringing my clothing here. Tailoring is done quick and skillfully. Great pricing! Everyone is very friendly which is a plus. Would highly recommend. read more

East side tailor saved me! I needed a shirt fixed on a very tight timeline for a big event and they turned it around for me in about fifteen minutes. The guys are crazy friendly, very talented and experts at what they do. 10/10 recommend. read more

Love this place! Franco did an amazing job on two jeans that have a zipper problem and a big rip from overuse. I am so happy I have my favorite jeans fixed ! Thank you!!! Will definitely be going here from now on for any tailoring needs. read more

East Side Tailor - Rip on jeans fixed perfectly! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - New York, New York

East Side Tailor was quick to respond. I reached out for a quote and I got a message within 10 minutes. I came into the shop the next day--10 minutes before closing. I expected the job to be done within the week. Franco was very confident and told me to come back in 10 minutes--closing time. I was delightfully surprised and impressed. He managed to rescue my knitted sweater and provided the utmost quality service. He is passionate and willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend to reach out regardless of the size of the project! Great work! read more

He was amazing. Did everything I asked for - he hemmed my skirt perfectly!! Very kind, friendly and did the job on the spot when I came in. 10/10! read more

This review is long overdue -- I was a bridesmaid last November and needed my dress tailored because it was so long. They finished the job early, and the new length was PERFECT (without messing up any of the layers). As reference, the dress cost $95 to get tailored because it had three layers. This was my first time using a tailor so I don't know how that compares to other places, but these guys were friendly and knew what they were doing. I'm a happy customer! read more

Highly recommend this place. I brought in 5 blazers (sleeves shortened, sides/backs taken in) and a pair of pants (taper/shorten) on my first visit, and Franco had them done in less than two weeks. He did such a great job that they now look like they're custom made (seriously, I couldn't believe it). I just went back a second time to get 4 pairs of pants tapered/shortened and a hole fixed in another pair. They were done in a week and they look fantastic. To top it off, Franco is a very nice, personable guy who really knows his stuff and finds solutions when you need them. It's a small shop, but he's is in the process of opening up a bigger one near by in the coming months I believe, so more to look forward to. read more

They do a great job but I've blocked off time on my calendar twice this week to walk over and get my jeans tailored and both times the tailor hasn't been there. I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm he's there before you spend time traveling over only be to told you come back another time. But they did a fabulous job on all the items I brought in last time, so I'll keep trying! read more

highly highly recommend this place for all tailoring needs! I've gotten pants brought in etc and they are super fast & customer service couldn't be any better. they even fixed a zipper that broke on my jeans same day! really really reasonably priced, especially for the quality of work. 10/10 wont be going anywhere else! read more

My first encounter with Franco was at another tailor shop. I was very pleased he opened his own shop. A much closer location for me being that I live in the 20's of the east side. I have worked with Mateo on 1 or 2 occasions. Very helpful and detailed oriented. Franco always goes out of his to help service me. He even picked up my alterations from a competing vendor so that he may complete service for me. My clothes are always tailored correct and never a complaint. And beyond the tailoring service, Franco will go above and beyond to truly work with you to make you happy. read more

Solid neighborhood tailor. Incredibly sweet and prompt service! Looking forward to going back. Pay attention people! Neighborhood gems like this aren't an easy find! (And they hobla Espanol) Mucho gracias! read more

Franco is wonderful. He added two "darts" to remove the excess fabric from my new wool vest. First, he pinned the darts from just below the armpit down to the waist to show me what it would like like. I gave him the OK. He chalked my vest and ran it through the sewing machine. He did all this himself in under 15 minutes. I was very impressed by the final product and how quickly it was done. Highly recommend! read more

Such a great and loyal spot! I trusted them with my dress when I was in a pinch and needed it altered overnight. It came out perfectly
