I live in Boerum Hill, I need a good tailor, I have just bought a very pricy jacket and siut. I want to make sure I go to a respectable tailor ot get the alterations done, I am nervous about leaving such a large value item at a random tailor. Can anyone recommend a very good tailor in the Smith/Court St area? I am less concerned with price, what matters is the quality of the work.

Thanks

  1. I’ve used Seoul Tailors several times to alter pants and sports coats. I was satisfied with their work. Their prices seem to be in line with what other area tailors are charging. I also found a slight language problem in communicating with them, but it’s really minor.

  2. “Seoul Tailors on Court between Douglass/Degraw is as good as i’ve found in the nabe.”

    I highly recommend them. They worked on an expensive coat of mine, and did a gorgeous job. And the price was very reasonable.

    A little tricky talking to the woman – her English isn’t great, but her husband [?] understands. The quality of the work is lovely.

  3. I second mpw on this one. Go and see RAMON! He is the best tailor in the city bar none! Even the high end designers use him to alter garments. I take all of my clothing to him of any importance!

  4. I agree that Stanton Tailors are really good. I’d also recommend Ramon on Mott and Houston. He’s a little pricier, but he’s done a really good job for me on some more complicated alterations (relining a leather jacket, taking in a dress that had complex seaming and darting).

  5. If you are that concerned about your items, I strongly suggest taking them to Pablo @ Stanton Tailors on the LES.

    Otherwise, Seoul Tailors on Court between Douglass/Degraw is as good as i’ve found in the nabe.
