Vaccaro’s Custom Tailoring

Best tailor ever. I’ve been getting professional alterations there for over 30 years. Love Signor Vacarro

Thank you for the other reviews! This place is amazing!
I brought in 3 items (a dress, pants and a skirt). I wish I took a before and after picture to show the amazing work he did. Price was reasonable. I will be coming back to get some more items fixed/​hem.

Fantastic tailor who I’ve used for years. Very polite, old school tailor, Charlie and his staff have never let me down. He has a great eye for alterations, and if he doesn’t think something needs tweaking, he’ll tell me. Great work at a fair price, Charlie will always be my tailor of choice.

So glad to have found this place. I moved to the area not that long ago and was really missing my go-​to tailor. Luckily Charlie runs a true quality tailoring shop that harkens back to when people actually gave a damn about looking sharp. So far I have taken him several jackets to have the sleeves shortened and I can tell he does great quality work. He will be getting all of my tailoring going forward.

Just had a pair of my husband’s pants tailored here — brought it in on Thursday, and it was ready by Sat. (although I didn’t get a chance to pick it up until Wed.). The stitching was well done and for $ 8, the price is really unbeatable in the area.
Charlie was very polite and accommodating. I was happy with the work/​service and I will definitely be bringing my business back here!

Short and sweet — So friendly, great quality at an even greater price.
I’ve taken multiple dress pants to Charlie (?) to hem up the leg, and I have never been disappointed. Only $ 8!
Plus, there is parking in the bag, which is always a + in these surrounding towns.

Quite possibly the best tailor, I’ve ever had. I am quite picky and have gone through about 4 – 5. Vaccaro has been the best by far. He does impeccable work, I’ve brought him shirts, suits, selvedge, jackets, and pants. Vaccaro definitely knows what he is doing, is fairly priced, and will give you his opinion politely. He does all of my tailoring and I would have it no other way.

Mr. Vaccaro is AMAZING. There is no one better and I have been to my fair share of tailors. But besides his tailoring he has a fantastic selection of men’s suits. My husband is so picky with clothes and his suits but at Vaccaro’s he could literally buy everything in there. The quality of suits he sells are beautiful and alterations are included. Impeccable service when you go to Vaccaro’s!

I’m always hesitant when trying to find a tailor after a debacle a few years ago using a dry cleaner to hem my pants. I literally had developed a phobia of tailors. A few years ago, I found a fantastic tailor in the Princeton area. She was really expensive, charging the same price to hem jeans that NYC denim specialty shops charge (Denim Therapy) but she did good work so I was ok with paying through the nose. Fast forward and I’m now in Bergen County and making the trek down there isn’t feasible. So I found Vaccaro’s through
and gave them a shot after calling another tailor in Nutley whose prices were also much higher.
Here’s where it gets interesting and all comes together. A. Charlie is a great guy — sweet man, cares about what you want and is still involved with his business. B. His work is fantastic. C. His prices are MORE than reasonable. To compare, I paid $ 20 to have a pair of pants hemmed and tapered. My Princeton tailor charged me about $ 80. I had a sweater vest taken in at the waist and I paid almost 3x as much at the other place. Need a suit tailored? I would have saved about $ 100 going to Charlie. I am a true believer in you get what you pay for so I’m usually hesitant when there are significant price differences. I actually had a chat with Charlie about this and he just doesn’t believe in ripping people off.
Hopefully he won’t mind when I show up tomorrow with 8 pairs of jeans/​pants, 5 shirts and 2 jackets…

Worst service ever! Simply put, Charlie is nasty and arrogant! He gave me more than a hard time when I asked him to fix a pair of jeans that they messed up the first try hemming one leg an inch shorter than the other! He said to me «time is money», «I’m the only tailor in the area», «I don’t need this aggravation at my age», «if u don’t like the way I fix it this time go find another tailor», then proceeded to mumble a few curse words under his breathe in Italian all because I asked him to fix their mistake. Since their are few tailors in this immediate area he knows that and doesn’t care how he speaks to people because he knows most will still come back. NOT ME! He then went to the back room that is only a few feet away from the counter and started to talk about me to the women tailors in the back and they started laughing. One of them peeked herself around the wall to see who he was talking about as they all carried on in conversation about me in Italian making me feel extremely uncomfortable! Rude, unprofessional and extremely poor quality of work! I have never written a review in my life about a business until now so that alone should say something about this place!

Just dropped off a custom made jacket for a few alterations. Charlie pinned it up and put it on his rack, so it’s not even touched yet but I have full confidence that it will look better than when I first got it. Italian tailor… nuff said. I cant wait to wear the finished piece!!! The previous reviews are what made me decide to use this tailor. As we wll know, a master tailor is a very rare find these days. Thanks!!!

This place is one of the few legit tailoring places around. This is their specialty, they are experts.
I had a pair of designer jeans hemmed there, and requested to have the original cuffs put back on, they did a great job. From my previous reviews, you can see I’m picky about my tailoring.
You can tell when you walk in this place that they do a good job, and clearly know what they are doing. We’ll be taking all of our tailoring here from now on.

Charlie Vaccaro is a master tailor and is reasonably priced.

Charlie Vaccaro is an Italian master. He’ll do what you ask, and (in a polite way) he’ll tell you if he thinks you’re wrong (and he’s probably right). Not only is the quality good, but he’s reasonably priced. Charlie does all my tailoring.
