Michael’s Alteration Shop

Worst experience, completly no recommended this place, I would like post picture but I feel bad for people can see his awful work and really expensive

Helped me in a pinch. I went to put my graduation dress on (which started in two hours) and it had a massive hole. Michael’s alterations not only fixed it, but did it cheaply and in about 5 minutes. He could have charged me nearly $ 70 for hand stitching but didn’t take advantage of the situation. Highly recommend!

Excellent work! I’ve had all my suits done by him, and each time I’m amazed at what he’s able to do in just 24hrs. I will continue to bring all my suits to Ibrahim as long as I’m in the Boston area.

I’ve been going to Ibrahim (not sure why it’s named Michael’s Alterations) for several years now and continue to even though I don’t live in the city. A good tailor is hard to find and once you find one you trust you stick with him. He’s done high quality work on my suit jackets and pants, and especially my jeans where he keeps the original hem so my jeans fall naturally on my leg.
I will say that he sometimes doesn’t have things done when he says he will but if you know that going in then you should know that it’ll take 10 – 14 days to get what you need finished (call ahead if you’re coming in from far away), he can do rush orders but he’ll charge you out the a$$. Speaking of charging the one thing that is borderline sketchy is that he doesn’t post his prices so you never know how much something is gonna cost, I’ve had a suit done that cost over $ 100 for all the alterations, but if you’re a regular he cuts you a deal every now and again. That said, any other tailors I’ve been to don’t post their prices either.
All that aside, he’s a good tailor and I’m willing to pay to have my clothes fit as if they were bespoke without paying the bespoke prices.
There are 3 things a man should have, a good barber, a good cobbler, and a good tailor.
Oh yea, one more thing, CASH ONLY!!!

The one thing that really bothers me is that nothing is done when promised, and so I make the trek into the city to pick up my clothing, only to find out it’s not done.
But…I still go here, and I bet I always will as long as I’m in the Boston area, because, well, he knows exactly how to tailor everything to my body.

I had no idea where to go to get my boyfriend’s leather hat lined — I went to a few alteration shops more local to me who had no idea what to do with it, so I turned to google and came up with a few places. Talking to the owner of this shop on the phone, he was confident that he could do it but wanted to see it. I brought it in and not only was he extremely sweet, but he even got it done sooner than he first said he would after I explained to him that it was a surprise gift. The work he did was AMAZING– the fabric I gave him to line to the hat fit the shell perfectly, and it was done so solidly I doubt that hat will ever need to be re-​lined again. I definitely reccomend this place.
