Dynasty Tailors

Found this tailor through a GQ article and it did not disappoint. Excellent work from Mr Joseph Ting and he remembered my name after just one visit. Super high quality work, he will not let you leave his shop unhappy.
The work is not cheap by any means. He will make your cheap suit look great or your expensive suit look bespoke. Joseph understands exactly how clothes should fit on your body and make no mistake his facility exudes great work.
He has GQ magazines laying around that feature his work for greats such as Michael Bastion.

Brought a brand new pair of expensive jeans to have the bottom hemmed. Nothing difficult. Put them on, marked them, and when I went back to pick them up and put them on at home — I could see my ankles. Have never worn them. Too short to even wear as higher hemmed jeans that have been the trend. Nope. Ruined.
The 1 star rating is for the service I received when I had to unfortunately tell her that they were too short and it may be their fault. I have brought them over 1k in clothing, never complained once. The woman looked at me like I was nuts and told me well, we mark everything when you bring it in. (Yes but clearly you cut it too short, SOMEHOW. I didn’t grow taller by that much.)
This asian woman, I think she co-​owns the shop told me that they would charge me 25 $ to lower the ¾ inch left on the bottom that would basically leave me with no finished proper hem, AAAND $ 25 charge. hahaha! I said, SEE YA. HAVE NOT BEEN BACK. Don’t waste your money.
*This place does not value customers. They don’t get that whole idea.*

This is the tailor that all the editors and editor-​in-​chiefs from Conde Nast use. I started working with Joseph when I was at Vogue in 1990 and continued to use them at Elle, Marie Claire and Glamour for 14 years. I would bring Joseph with me on photo shoots and send clothing to him all the time to be fixed. Joseph is the nicest guy and does a great job. I would see him at GQ all the time and in the elevator at 4 times square. I highly recommend Dynasty Tailors.

OVERPRICED, too expensive, they did a eh job and took too much in. I do not recommend, there are way too many better places and options to ever go back or refer anyone. I just picked up a dress (like an hour ago) and showed my coworkers and everyone noticed the poor job (not even knowing that they took waay too much in) 130 bucks!!!

Found this tailor through an article on Gilt mentioning a tailor that GQ and Sartorialist members use as well as Michael Bastian and Lord & Taylor. Joseph Ting does excellent work and is definitely of magazine quality. By no means are the prices cheap but to never have to get something redone speaks volumes about his abilities.
I’m sure other tailors have the ability to do the same type of work but Joseph has the vision to know what looks good and it translates in his work. If you want something done differently he makes no mistake either.
I highly recommend him if you want your work done right and are willing to pay extra for the quality.

I found these guys through Sartorialist. Several of the featured gentlemen use Dynasty as their tailor.
I want to get something straight — good tailors are not cheap. They just aren’t. Dynasty is good, and they aren’t cheap.
That said, this is the only tailor I’ve used in NYC (and I’ve used several) that left me feeling like I got what I paid for. These are the only people I’ve used I would take my Zegna or Oxxford suit to. I recently had a bunch of Hamilton made to measure shirts redone by Dynasty so they’d actually fit correctly.
Everything I’ve had altered over the last couple of years came out well. My wife has used them and also had a good experience. She used to work at J Crew so she has some opinions on how things should fit.
I’m sorry a couple of bridezillas haven’t been satisfied. But my wife and I are both nitpicky, difficult people who insist on having things done competently. So far, Dynasty has delivered.

Brides, DO NOT COME HERE. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. I found Dynasty Tailors through NYMag’s Wedding section, and I regret the day I did. This was the worst decision ever.
I purchased a wedding dress with a very low back, because that was the one characteristic I was looking for in a dress. They somehow tailored my dress so that the back now hits above my waist. Basically, now my dress is a completely different style than when I purchased it.
That’s not the worst part though. The worst part is that they somehow altered it to be so small to the point that it was squeezing my back together and creating rolls of skin. When I asked him to fix it, the guy there has the gall to tell me, «There’s nothing to fix. It was always like that, you just don’t remember.»
What?! As if I would purposely buy a wedding dress that squeezed my back together to the point that it looks like I have rolls of extra skin? For reference, I am a marathoner and am very conscious of my weight/​muscle so I know I didn’t gain any weight.
Conclusion: DO NOT BRING YOUR WEDDING DRESS HERE.

Pricey but worth it. I have taken at least over a dozen jackets to joseph there and by the time he has it pinned I can see how amazing the fit looks. It’s expensive but I trust no one else with my mcqueens or mckenzies…

Jenny Yoo recommended Dynasty when I picked up my bridesmaid dress from their shop. As they were the only tailor on Jenny Yoo’s list located near my office, I decided to go there. This was a terrible decision!
Because I’d lost weight since trying on the bridesmaid dress initially, it needed to be taken in quite a bit. I put it on, and the tailor started fitting me. It was a halter dress, and he didn’t pin up the halter at all until I said something to him about it; he was only going to take it in at the sides. After that happened, I was concerned, but I figured it would work out.
When I came to pick the dress up, I tried it on again to make sure the tailoring was correct. It was still much too big. When I tried to tell the woman at the counter that it didn’t fit properly, she argued with me and said no, it’s fine, that’s just the style that you picked out. Last I checked, flashing people while wearing a halter because your dress is too big? Not in style.
This place is definitely not worth the expensive prices they charge.

dynasty isn’t too much for chit chat and being welcoming. that said, they’re very good and i haven’t been disappointed. pricey even for manhattan, but i think you get what you pay for.

I made an appointment here to have my Jenny Yoo wedding dress altered at their recommendation. I found the service very cold and unwelcoming. Before buying my dress I knew that the bust would have to be shortened and since there was a seem I assumed that although it wasn’t the most basic alteration this was something a skilled tailor could handle. Well… the staff left me standing in the show room for a few minutes before they came out. Then a man came out and told me the alteration I wanted was impossible. They also told me the dress fit me «like a glove» and that I didn’t need anything done. I was pretty upset to think that the dress that was sagging in the bust was going to have to be left as it was! Anyway, I packed up my stuff and found another tailor on Unilocal who said that it would be no problem to take up the empire waist and to take in the bust about 2 inches. Don’t waste your time with this place.

I got a recommendation from Jenny Yoo, the maker of my wedding dress. Alterations for my dress (which had three layers) cost about $ 100 and they got it right the first time. The place is kind of amazing — I got to see the back room where all the magic happens when I used the bathroom — it’s like something out of the 1930s… I will definitely go back should something else important come up.

Very expensive for subpar work. For my wedding, I had my rehearsal dinner dress and bridesmaid dresses altered there and was extremely disappointed to say the least. All of our dresses were made of silk chiffon and while the sewing itself was good (they did not ruin the fabric), a good tailor is supposed to make your clothes FIT and they did a very poor job in that respect. The only good thing was that my wedding dress was altered to perfection by another tailor.
I don’t know how they managed to botch so much of my beautiful Marchesa rehearsal dinner gown:
1) they shortened the hem too much — it was supposed to be floor length with heels and I ended up having to wear flats (!!!);
2) the beaded bodice was still way too large and since they took too long to turn it around, I did not have time to have it made smaller — I had to pin it myself and wear a wrap during my dinner to cover it; and
3) even though I asked them to save and return the beads from the section they removed when altering the bodice (so I can replace the beads if they ever fall off), they claimed to have lost them… which made me wonder if they did any work on it at all, despite having charged so much for it.
On top of my bad experience, one of my bridesmaids had the same problem with the bust area not being fitted enough and another’s hem was too long. We were not even partially refunded for their errors.
The tailor was recommended by Jenny Yoo, who supplied the bridesmaid dresses. I’m not sure why they recommended them so highly, but I would not recommend them to anyone. (Our experience with Jenny Yoo was otherwise very good.)

Pricey yet satisfying. You definitely get what you pay for – quality.
