    Sleeve length adjusted at the shoulder and you can't even tell!
    Scott H.

    Let me start by saying I would have sworn I had already done this!...... After going thru the dry cleaners and then a shop in West Sacramento I finally went to European on Eastern Ave. Mostly because I lived on that street and it was close to home. Am I glad I did!!!! Michael is THE MAN for tailoring and alterations. He is a true tailor. Not just somebody with scissors and a sewing machine. Michael can build a suit from scratch. The man wears a tie to work! He is polite and professional but most of all he is REALLY GOOD at what he does. First, if your know anything at all about properly fitted slacks, you know that the crease in front should have 1 break. While some "fashion styles" have trousers bunched-up at the bottom, a well dressed man knows what looks right. Second, it's almost impossible to buy properly fitting garments off the rack. So I buy un-hemmed slacks from Haggar online and Michael does the rest. Sleeve length is a challenge for me. Again, if you know anything about clothes, you know that neck size and sleeve length are how to buy a shirt and chest size is how you buy a coat or jacket. For these, they are never quite the right fit for me. Close. But not perfect. I took a inexpensive sport coat to Michael to have the sleeve length adjusted after having the same coat done TWICE at a shop in West Sacramento. The length was never right and the lining was bunched-up at the wrist. A seamstress might be good at wedding gowns but take your jacket to a REAL tailor! Michael immediately recognized that my arms are not exactly the same length and he adjusted them accordingly. He explained to me the different "looks" regarding how much cuff shows. (think James Bond) He can do how ever you want but there is a "standard" and I deferred to his judgment. The coat fits perfectly. Since then I have taken him a full length wool coat that he fitted and I love wearing it when it's cold enough outside. I took him a suede jacket that the sleeves were too long. Because it has cuffs, Michael said he would have to remove the sleeve and shorten it at the shoulder!! I have to admit that I was not too sure about this one but when I got it back, I was amazed!! That sleeve looks like it was never touched and the liner inside shows no evidence what so ever that it had been modified. It's an amazing piece of work and shows the true skill level that Michael posses. That's why he has my new black leather jacket right now. I can't stand the sleeves touching the back of my hand because they are too long and took it to Michael to make it perfect. Looking good because you actually wore a tie for date night and looking GREAT and getting compliments on the clothes you are wearing is a BIG difference. Our last date night I got two compliments from strangers on my long coat. But more importantly to me, I know I'm looking very "James Bond" when I take my wife out on a date. And here's the kicker....it really doesn't cost that much when you consider how expensive the clothes are in the first place! So, if you're like me and you want to look your absolute best, then go see Michael and let him do his magic. You will be glad you did.

    Just had my suit tailored by Michael. He did a spectacular job! I look at least 20 pounds skinnier, and it's the perfect fit and length. He changed so much about it, the sleeve and pant length, took in the waist, straightened the shoulders, and tightened the back. I look and feel like a million bucks thanks to Michael. I'll be taking all my alterations to him, and telling everyone I know how great a job he did.

    Update: picked up my skirts on Wednesday afternoon with no problem (other than it being a day later than originally agreed upon). My total was $61 - about as much as expected, though a little pricey for me. Skirts look and fit great! Update: dropped a star. Came to pick up my skirts at the indicated time, was told they would be ready tomorrow. Owner said he left a message on my phone yesterday, but we soon realized he had the incorrect area code (my area code is the ubiquitous 916, not 316 so a rather silly mistake.) fine, again, no hurry, but I certainly expected to have my items by the originally scheduled time. I brought in two pencil skirts to be altered - one a thicker jersey-like fabric with a broad elastic waste to be hemmed and taken in at the waist (I am a short curvy latina) and one more classic pencil skirt just taken in at the waist. The owner was friendly, warm, and professional, thorough but quick with measuring. I am not in any rush, so I will be picking up Tuesday afternoon (dropped off on wednesday). Will update, but so far, 5 stars for service. I'm a young professional on a budget, and this review is geared towards others who, like me, are trying to get well-fitting interview/professional clothing for reasonable prices.

    I highly recommend Katie's!!! I recently purchased a pair of…read more100% leather trousers from Poshmark and they were too small. Really wanting to keep them because they're a rare find and absolutely beautiful, I knew I had to find someone besides Spartanburg's popular alterations choice because they're way too expensive. A little worried about this alteration, I searched and decided to go with Katie's and I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. They have a beautiful, clean and bright studio that smells so nice. From the minute you walk through the door you greeted with such warm and friendly attention. They take their time and really listen to what you're needing done and what you're envisioning for your garment and then take your measurements. I was expecting it to take a at least a week or two, but she had me to come back in a couple of days! When I went back to pick them up I was amazed! She went above and beyond how I had envisioned them turning out to look like. The quality of work is impeccable!!! They have you try on your garment to make sure it looks and feels right and these trousers fit like a glove now. I had brought cow print material because there was no where to find leather to match the leather of the pants and they already have a western vibe, satin lining because they were satin lined, elastic if needed and upholstery thread to match. She used the cow print material and satin fabric to make the additions and even put the zipper back in with a hook closure. They are absolutely beautiful!!! Oh! And the cost for this alteration was more than fair!!! I would have probably paid double if not triple if I'd went with the other place. Katie has my business from now on with alterations!!!

    They did a great job for a really good price. Service was provided quickly. Highly recommendread more
