Mark is amazing. He's very detail oriented and talented at making dresses work- no matter the situation. I've seen Mark twice now. The first was for my Maid of Honor dress for my sisters wedding. He made the dress really look the best it possibly could've and stayed in contact with me during the process. Could not have been happier with the way the dress fit in the end. The second time I saw Mark was equally as wonderful for a very different reason. I brought in a formal dress that I thought was too short and needed to be made into cocktail length. He saw me on short notice and fit me into a busy day. Once I got there and tried on the dress, he convinced me the dress was beautiful just as it was, even forgoing a paycheck for what he thought looked best. That's someone who cares more about making his clients look good than making money. Very hard to find in nyc. End of the day, mark is a talented, communicative, and detailed tailor but more importantly, he's an ethical and kind business man who'll do anything to make his clients look good. Cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

TL;DR: Mark is incredibly responsive and more amenable than any tailor that I've met to-date and I've been to quite a few of them. I took a new pair of trousers into Mark's shop yesterday (around 2 PM) to get them hemmed and a button replaced. He was incredibly friendly and broke down exactly what he was going to do, and also shared considerations that I didn't think about (such as saving some of the legging material in case they shrink from the wash). He contacted me today around 1 PM and asked that I come in to get them; the results were beautiful and I've never been happier with tailoring before. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to get alterations done on their clothing! On my end, I'll be back in a couple of weeks to get my button-up shirts altered. Thank you, Mark! read more

I needed to get a dress hemmed about 10 days before a wedding. I spent a lot of time researching on Yelp for reliable, trustworthy, affordable tailors in midtown. This was my first time getting alterations on clothing since moving to NYC, so I wanted to ensure I had a good grasp of the industry here. Mark is friendly, honest, kind, personable, and talented. His work ethic is strong and he worked to get my job done in a timely manner. My dress was hemmed exactly how I wanted. The price was reasonable too. I highly recommend his business! read more

I came to Splendor & Arrow to get a pair of female tux pants hemmed for my college graduation. He was very patient with my wants, worked very quickly, and charged me very little. I loved loved loved the end result and he knows exactly what he's doing. read more

See all

Holy freemoli, I cannot recommend Mark enough! I bought a bridesmaid's dress months ago and between the purchase and the wedding, I lost 35 pounds. In just under two weeks, Mark took the dress in two sizes. He actually told me it would have been easier to sew an entirely new dress! I know he worked so hard on it and it came out so beautifully. Mark kept the price VERY reasonable despite all the work he did. EVERYONE should get their work done with Mark. He is totally professional and nice, works quickly, and does beautiful work. If I could give him more stars I would! read more

Impeccable service. Communication was quick and reliable. My gown just needed to be hemmed, but I really appreciate how quick the turnaround was. Thanks for making this such a pleasant experience. read more

Just picked up my expertly tailored suit from Morkos (owner) at Splendor & Arrow! Best tailor experience I've had so far! Morkos was accommodating, incredibly reasonable, and did a beautiful job on extremely short notice. He took an off-the-rack suit and made it look like a custom. Thank you very much! read more

I went here to get measured for my brother's wedding, and received excellent service. Mark was so kind to me and did a great job with providing me accurate measurements for my suit. He took his time making sure all of my measurements were correct and in providing detailed notes. I would highly recommend Splendor & Arrow and will definitely return here. EXCELLENT service! read more

Hands down the best and hardest working tailor in midtown! Squirreled away on the ninth floor of a nondescript office building there is an amazing tailor who delivers quality work with absolutely zero nonsense. Rather than attempting to push services, materials, or products you actually can walk away learning something new each time. The trust that you will inevitably build based off of that simple principle and the quality will have you coming back time and again. Rather than probing you with a few pins and sending you on your way, time will be spent getting everything right and almost perfect the first time around. After trying on your newly tailored clothes, you will walk out of the building trying to understand how nothing you have ever worn has fit you this well. Getting the right person to do the job is well worth the time. I always feel confident that regardless of what I bring, I will always leave beyond pleased. read more

Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with! He did such a great job of altering my bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding and my own bridal shower dress which turned out to be no easy task after I bought it online and it needed quite a bit of work. Mark painstakingly took the time to pull the whole dress apart and put it back together to make sure it fit me just right. He was also wonderful when my mom had a very last minute alteration request right before my wedding and he was able to get it done in time and quickly. Thank you so much Mark, I'll be seeing you again soon! read more

Mark took my last minute request on a Saturday and fixed two holes on my blouse beautifully. He takes pride in his work, and the customer service was amazing - will definitely be back for other alterations. Note: Once you're off the elevator on the 11th floor, go to the door on the right. read more

The tailor did a fine job at altering my clothes, despite being a week late than​ promised, but this review is about the sexual harassment I received. I am a 23-year old female. During the fitting, the tailor 1) kept looking at me inappropriately​, 2) told me that I look "cute and hot", 3) deliberately poked my breast with his finger - not by accident, he did it on purpose. 4) When I was trying​ on a dress during the pickup​, he put his hand on my waist for absolutely​ no reason - not to check or alter anything, just *casually* putting his hand on my waist. We were alone during the fitting, and there was another female in​ the room when I picked things up, but he still did it nevertheless, without any concern or hesitant, as if touching female clients in inappropriate areas is just a normal, casual thing. I should have left during the fitting, but I walked a distance with a big bag of clothes in hot steamy nyc summer, and he displayed those behaviors near the end of the fitting, so I stayed nevertheless, and I deeply regretted​ it almost right after, because pigs like him should not be able to do shits like this and still run a business. I write this review as a warning for other women and men who cares about the environment and culture we live in. *Reply to the tailor's reply: I'm petite sized and therefore have been getting my clothes tailored since high school. Strangely, nearly all the tailors I worked with are males, so I'm confident that I'm very familiar with the way male tailors work, and none of them worked the way he did. The tailor messaged me 14 times following the hour after this review (I was in gym), and offered to pay me to delete this review. As I replied him in text before blocking him, this is not about money at all. This is about teaching him that there are consequences for the nasty way he treats women and that he needs to take responsibility for it. I'm particularly shocked that he has a family - let me ask you mister, so you think about your wife and kids when touching my breast and waist? Can you imagine how violated and disgusted I felt? read more

I was standing on 35th and 7th during my lunch break when my dress decided to pop open, the zipper completely separated and broken. With a full afternoon at work ahead of me as well as after-work plans, I needed either a new dress or a tailor ASAP. I googled the former and to my surprise I was standing right in front of Splendor & Arrow. Being that I was in the garment district, I thought for sure I would be spending a crazy amount of money to fix my old worn out zipper just to get through the rest of the day. I was wrong! Mark not only fixed my zipper in all of 5 minutes, but when I asked what I owed, he simply asked me to tell my friends about him. Clean, fast, easy and great service. I will be back! read more

Mark is a magician. Over the past few weeks I've taken him dozens of blouses, dresses and pants and he's made them all look beautiful. Would absolutely recommend. read more

With great service and reasonable prices, Morkos is the best around.

I was in NY with work for six weeks, and I happened to pick up a bunch of clothing items while I was there. I quickly found that Mark is easily the best tailor I have worked with, anywhere. While his quality is top-notch, his customer service and communication is what really sets him apart from the rest. He was incredibly responsive to my needs, both in regards to styling changes and scheduling. He had a great balance of providing valuable recommendations, while also listening to my likes and dislikes in fit/style. When I ended up wanting to change a cut, he was quick to adjust my pants at no additional cost. When my schedule suddenly changed, he was very responsive to changing the appointment to a better time for me. For somebody like me who knows how important a great tailor can be, Mark's service just cannot be beat. If I'm on my way to NY anytime soon, I may just pack any clothes that need tailoring, cause his services would be worth lugging it cross-country. read more

Literally THE best tailor in NYC. I need a hem and had a major zipper problem on a dress that was for a wedding that I was in. I needed to get it fixed quick. Not only did Mark fix it quickly - it didn't break my budget and it fit perfectly. I was so impressed and this dress looks so much better on me now that it fits!! I am definitely coming back here when I need another dress altered. read more

Mark is excellent - he is very nice, reasonably priced, and does very quality work. I had big a suit jacket and pants altered and it came out great. I would recommend to anyone. read more

Best tailor I've ever met! I was referred by a friend from work who had gotten dresses sized down multiple sizes when I was looking to get some pants slimmed down around my calves and ankles. Prices are fair (and he just fixed a broken zipper I had without additional charges!) Super friendly and convenient if you work in the midtown west area! Highly recommend going to him if you're looking for a skilled and fairly priced tailor! read more

I was very pleased with my experience at Splendor & Arrow. My new suit fit perfectly. Their prices are fair and the service is great. Mark was very friendly and we had great communication. I will definitely be going back for any tailoring I need. read more

Very friendly and honest. Would highly recommend. This is what small business is about, high quality customer satisfaction with honest work.

By chance was in New York City, after a layover & walked in to this place on a random Tuesday afternoon after being unable to find someone who would measure me while I was abroad. I opened the door (maybe knock first) and was met with Mark, who I may have startled a bit, but was quite kind and asked me questions about sizing and fit that I hadn't previously asked myself. He was super knowledgeable and just seemed like an all around good person - told me to call if I had any questions in the future. I am always super self conscious as I am an athlete built 6'4 280 like a rugby player, with long arms and clothes always fit my body weird - I left feeling comfortable whoever was going to make the custom garment for me would have the exact measurements for making it fit right. Couldn't ask for more... read more

Mark was so helpful taking my measurements yesterday! I highly recommend him! I even had my baby with me and he was more than accommodating.

I can't recommended Mark enough. He got my shorts tailored within 24 hrs for a trip. I will definitely be back and refer anyone to Mark who needs top notch service. read more

I highly reccommend Morkos for any tailoring needs! I needed a formal dress hemmed for an event a week out and Morkos was able to hem the dress in a matter of days and charged a very fair price. I will absolutely be back for any future tailoring needs. Morkos himself is so kind and considerate and professional; truly a delight to work with! read more

Fantastic! Helped me during a business trip when I tore a suit. Quick, high-quality and pleasant service at a very reasonable price! Highly recommend. read more

I rented a tuxedo and needed to have the pants hemmed before leaving for a destination wedding. Morkos accommodated me really last minute, and did the alteration while I waited. He took extra care, and wanted to make sure that I look good. He does custom suits and I'm excited to check it out! read more

If it's not already clear from all the five star ratings, Morkos is the absolute best. I gave him a wool coat to trim down, and could tell from our first meeting that he was extremely detail oriented and very knowledgeable. He made great suggestions for the coat and I'm extremely happy with how it turned out -- especially given that I asked for a rush job. This kind of experience is so rare these days, but really shows how special it is to work with someone who truly knows what they're doing, cares about you as a client, and produces amazing results. Can't recommend him enough. read more

Amazing service! I'm blown away with Morkos. His attention to detail is outstanding. Best tailor in NYC. Very, very happy! I highly recommend him! read more

I had to fix my dress on the same day, it was a last minute call. My boss Steven recommneded me Morkos, but he said that I had to mention that I need to fix a female dress, because Morkos works only with men suites. Morkos agreed to help me. He did an excellent job just in few hours. He fixed my dress very well. It fits perfectly now. I was able to attend my friend's wedding. Thank you Morkos for your help! read more

I had a gown hemmed here for an event and worked with Morkos, he is such a delight! I asked to have the hem done by Wednesday and he had it ready by Tuesday afternoon with no hassle! He is very passionate about what he does and you can tell by the execution in his work. Very reasonable prices and I will 100% be coming back and I am so happy it is close to my job! read more

I found my new tailor in NYC...This is a convenient location with later hours than many tailors, and most importantly I was very happy with the result! I came with a dress, that had been altered by someone else and I didn't like the result. He talked through the changes I wanted and quickly turned around exactly what I was looking for. I am feeling much better about going to the wedding I have this weekend! Thanks! read more

Morkos is great. I've used him several times now, and he always delivers great work at a fair price. I'm a big fan!

I was recommended Morkos by another tailor as most don't like to fix the length of a jacket. After altering my first suit jacket, I gave him my entire wardrobe - he perfectly tailored 10 pairs of pants and 10 suit/tux jackets. He offers the best prices of anywhere I've been, and does a tremendous job on everything. He's also very patient with demanding customers. read more

Morkos is the best. Second to none. I have tried all of the finest tailors in the city and he is just as good and much more reasonable. He cares about the customers and his craft. Very flexible and a pleasure to do business with. Tremendous value in everything he offers. read more

Wonderful man. The process was very quick and easy and great service. 10/10 would recommend

Found this place on Yelp that's close to me and I am very glad I did. Morkos took my request for an adjustment very seriously and he did 4 versions for me to choose from within a short time. Very nice and professional. read more

I've taken a few formal dresses to Morkos and he does a great job and is always willing to accommodate my schedule for needing things! He takes great care to make sure things are exactly how I want them. His prices are also very reasonable compared to some of the insane nyc shops I've called (don't even get me started on shops that basically double the price if you need a somewhat quick turn around ugh)! My fiancé and I are planning to try out some of his custom men's pieces soon as well :) I highly recommend him to anyone needing tailoring services in NYC!! read more

Great, friendly service at a reasonable price! I had a bridesmaiddress tailored for a wedding and the turnaround and communication was excellent. Will definitely be back read more

Mark is a true perfectionist. I had him alter a dress for a wedding - it was a pretty complicated job but he did a great job and the dress now fits perfectly. I'll definitely come back! read more
