264 Tailor Shop

took me a while to write this review… came here about 7 times including coming back fixing issues.
first time was great, tested them with the following
a shirt — taper on sides, sleeves shorten
a suit — taper on sides, sleeves shorten from the sleeve
pants — hem
since they did such a great job the first time, went back to them with bigger requests
2^nd to 5^th time of giving them business not so great over the course of few months. i came back each time hoping they can providing the same great initial experience.
bought in 7 more suits, 20 more shirts
issues encountered
1.) 3 suits sleeve buttons sewed back crooked.
2.) 5 shirt sleeves threading misaligned after shortening sleeves.
3.) 4 shirts tapered with the darts lining misaligned and uneven.
4.) a few times while the lady was pinning my suit to be tapered, she would pin up the suit from the middle instead of from the sides. NEVER PIN from the middle, it will create a budge below your neck area in the back. for a tailor in business for such a long time, i was surprised they would do this.
5.) sleeve buttons not returned to the way it was.
also, noticed they taken shortcuts when they are busy. some of my suits had 4 buttons, when they shorten from the sleeve, instead of moving the button closest to the end of the sleeve to the opposite end, they just removed the extra button. probably thought i wont remember or noticed.
a couple of the suits have overlapping sleeve buttons, when they sewed it back after shortening sleeves, they changed it to normal spacing. when i complained they said that was the way it was and overlapping is not normal. obviously they dont know enough of suit styles and also lied that it was like that before. of course I have a picture of the stock suit and showed it to them then they resewed the buttons the way it was.
last thing i want to point out is that the place is family run. has their family of about 7 people in operation age ranging from 15 to 50+, skill set ranging from beginner to expert. its a luck of draw. i would avoid this place for tailoring nice clothings or clothings you care about. if you just want to refurbish some old clothings, the price of this place should do.

Solid tailor shop. Best prices in the area. Not going to blow you away but gets the job done without putting an unnecssary hit on your wallet like some of the other ones in the area.

Love this place. They are very personable and they did a wonderful job with my suit, vest and trousers. Just in time for my presentation. Thanks guys!

I’ve been coming here for about 10 years and I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed. They always do a great job and the price is nice! Please don’t ever change!

I love this place!
My roommate told me about this place a couple of years ago and I haven’t gone elsewhere. This review is strictly on the tailoring and not the cleaning.
I’ve brought shirts, jeans, suits, jackets and more here for alteration and everything comes back quick, and overall just better. Such fair prices for the work that they do it keeps me coming back for more every time I buy something new. Quick heads up, its cash only but they allow you to pay when you pick up so that shouldn’t be a problem.
I strongly urge you to give this place a try. Their work is really phenomenal!

Awful, just got my dry cleaning back from this place, and it smells like chemicals and body odor, never again.

I’ve been going to this place for more than a year now and they almost always do a great job. I collect vintage clothing and have taken in a lot of stuff to them and only once did I have an issue with something they did, but it was basically rebuilding a skirt so it was beyond the basics. If you need something completely remade/​the shape altered maybe take it somewhere else, but for everything else this place is great. Only other thing I’d say is that if you’re bringing in a large amount of clothing to be altered, make sure that they’ve actually altered it; once or twice I think they weren’t paying attention and I didn’t realize until I got home that the pieces hadn’t been altered at all. I’ve gone in there so much they even know how I like my pieces tailored! All in all a great place with good prices.

Perfect job on relining the coat that 136 Orchard Express had butchered. Quick service and fastidious attention to detail, and fair pricing for the high quality of work.
Should have known to just come here in the first place!

Had my pants fixed here and they did a fantastic job. Came back cause a coat I had ordered had a minor defect and figured having them fix it was less trouble than sending it back. One of the guys fixed it in about 5 min and didn’t even charge me! (So I just tipped him)

I’ve been going here for over 6 years and I don’t have any complaints. I refer all my friends to Rob. He is amazing and efficient. I always get my stuff on time and the prices are great!

I don’t even need to describe this place. It’s THE BEST tailor shop you gonna find around this neighborhood. They do a wonderful job at a super reasonable price. Nothing can go wrong here; if you have complaints it’s probably because your body is weirdly shaped. Yup ^.^

$ 5 to alter and hem my dress pants. Took about 1 hour or so to get it done. Dropped of three pairs of pants and came back the next hour after a walk.
Service is quick and professional with a smile.
This is my go to tailor when you need something fixed and done at low prices and reliable work.
They never not take down my name or number. Makes me nervous every time I come here thinking if they will remember what I brought, or if it I will get mixed up with someone else, but they usually have a good memory.

I brought a horrendous bridesmaid dress that was poorly made to be fixed. The manufacturer messed up and my inseam was too tight, the skirt part had way too much fabric and was too wide and actually sewn on crooked, plus the straps were too long. Basically, the worse bridesmaid dress ever. There wasn’t enough time to send back to the manufacturer for a new dress before the wedding, after one of my friends told me she get all her suits tailored here. I basically had the whole dress redone. Took about a week, which wasn’t bad considering how much work it needed. In the end the dress looked as best as it could considering the condition it was before. I would definitely recommend coming here if you need a good tailor. Ask for Ellie.

Hem, button or taking something in, they got your back!
I’ve been taking jeans, suits and shirts to these guys for years. The prices are hard to beat and the quality of their work is consistently reliable. I purposely didn’t review them for a while in fear that they would become too popular but I realize that it would be selfish of me to keep this a secret. The thing I love most about them, aside from the lovely Ellie, is that they stand by their work. I was once not thrilled about how something came out, without another word they took it back and fixed it to exactly how I wanted it. For that and so much more, they have earned my business for life.

I love this shop. I have been going for YEARS! & have brought every pair of pants I own, plus tops with too long sleeves. I am only 4’11″ & even petite pants are too long. Robert & Maggie & their staff are great. I live in Park Slope Brooklyn. F train to Delancey ST. & cut through the parking lot: 20 minutes.

I’ve been going to Robert and Maggie’s (family biz) tailor/​dry cleaner shop since I was really young. I grew up in the neighborhood and have since moved to jersey city. I still keep going back. Their tailoring is impeccable!!! Their tailoring is not as expensive as the area I currently live at, so it’s worth the trek out to them. I totally recommend them for tailoring. I will continue to go to them for all my alterations! Continue the great work, guys!!!

When I lost a lot of weight, I was really scared that the alterations to all my work suits was going to cost me more than buying new. A friend recommended this place they had been going to for years. I got 15 suits altered for under $ 120 (waist on pants, jackets taken in, in multiple places). I was thrilled– been a loyal customer ever since. Yeah, they have tough hours for people who work 9 – 5, but who doesn’t have 30 minutes during their work week to take the train down there and pick stuff up?!? And I’d rather a small business accept cash than jack up their prices to subsidize the 2−3% credit card interchange fee they have to pay when they accept cards.

I’ve used these guys 3 times now. Once to give me a stop-​gap with some suit pants that had smalls holes in them. They did a great job. Next I had them take in a dress shirt at the sides. This can be hit or miss for sure but again, great work and only $ 10! Last was a simple hem on dress pants. Only $ 4.
I’ve used the guys up on Stanton (both of them) and the prices were really high. If you want quick service, with little cost but still great work I’d definitely recommend these guys.

Some points:
1) The hours are absolutely terrible. 9AM-​6PM (during the week) often means that it both opens too late to drop off stuff on the way into work and closes too early to be able to pick stuff up at the end of the day. Plus they are closed Saturday, so usually I’ll have to wait until Sunday to pick up clothes that I dropped off days ago. Extremely inconvenient for anyone with a day job.
2) Their turnaround time is acceptable but not the best. I’ve found it takes a while to get washed/​pressed shirts back. (Dropped off Sunday and it’s not ready til Wednesday? Take off your rubber nose and stop clowning around.)
3) When you get shirts drycleaned, they are in the habit of STAPLING their tickets directly onto your tags and clothing. It is insanely inconvenient to try and wrestle a tiny staple out of a delicate shirt tag each time you get it back.
4) Their prices for washed/​pressed shirts are about 50 cents higher than a lot of other dry cleaners downtown, which I guess is OK considering they’re primarily a tailoring gig.
5) Their tailoring seems to be pretty good. I’ve had a few shirts brought in, and while they could’ve been made to be a little more form-​fitting, it seemed like they did a solid job overall.
This place seems fine if you live in the area, but I would be inclined to go somewhere else for any washing/​dry cleaning needs and rely on them exclusively for simple tailoring.

I come down from Midtown East to get stuff tailored here. I save up all my tailoring jobs for a trip down to the tailor, and I’ve even converted friends who will accompany me on said trip. The work here is great quality; I’ve had a dress with boning in the bodice taken in, and it cost me $ 7, less than having a pair of pants hemmed at your usual corner tailor shop. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and professional. Items are always ready when they are promised.
NOTE: They are closed on Saturdays! I made the sad, sad mistake of coming down here once assuming that the standard day off was Sunday. Read carefully and don’t do that!
