Conte’s Custom Tailor

I would say he is a good tailor, but don’t assume alterations are final. Try the suit on and bring a friend to critique it on you. My suit was altered as he said he would but when I tried it on, there was excess fabric behind the arm opening causing wings. He but in the shoulder pad as described but it caused the collar to raise up forming a roll across the back. I should have known better then rush a suit alteration. Had to bring to another tailor to correct, since Conte is closed on Monday and I was out of time.
Store is located downtown providence; not easy to park. Store hours makes it tough to get to during the week.
I would recommend if you have time and can go back for multiple fittings.

I just had a suit made by Conte… what a great experience!
He really helped me think clearly about what I wanted/​needed out of the suit, from finding the right cloth to getting the right details on the cuffs. The final product was a outstanding. I would never have been able to find a suit off the rack that would have fit my body type, but his got a really perfect fit. It makes even a math graduate student like me look sharp. Ok maybe not sharp but at least like I have a really great suit.

Mr. Conte is the bomb.
Old school tailor who really knows his stuff. Trained in Italy, and now we’re lucky enough to have him in Providence!
He’s hemmed my jeans, dry-​cleaned a bridesmaids dress, added a new zipper to my winter coat, and repaired a tear in my leather jacket.
He went over my husband’s wedding suit until it fit him like a glove. And he hems all his pants perfectly, which is a relief to me (I can’t sew to save my life).
You can have entire suits custom-​made, too. I’m sure they’re pricey, but probably well worth it.
Friendly, knowledgeable, diverse, amazing customer service. I’d recommend him to anyone!

Expert tailoring from an old school master. Mr Conte is one of the best. I took a suit jacket for tailoring with the hopes of getting a 24 hour turnaround.
No problem. Great fit and great service. I highly recommend Mr Conte.

The best tailor in Providence. The owner is from Italy, and he is very kind. It only cost low price to do dry clean or tailor. The store is small but neat.

Mr. Conte’s tailoring skills can only be expressed in a comparison. Mr. Conte is the equivalent to Mike Tyson in his prime. In so many words, this guy is unbeatable. Mr. Conte’s skill in his craft leaves other tailor’s in the dust. To be honest, you can’t actually compare him to others, simply due to the fact that it’s just not fare to the other party. He’s in his own realm.
I brought Mr. Conte a brand new off the rack suit to have him basically alter it in every way. I’ve always wanted a slim fit suit so I finally purchased one. However, it was still hanging off me like a young kid wearing his dad’s blazer. Every tailor I brought the suit to, didn’t want to do the work. It was as if everyone was too lazy or too scared to take on the work during the various consultations. I brought the suit to Conte’s and he instantly knew what I wanted and jumped right in with suggestions.
As I said above, Mr. Conte ended up altering every aspect of my suit. He even tapered the jacket sleeve’s all the way down the arm, as well as the pant legs. He virtually rebuilt my suit. When I tried it on at the time of pick up, Mr. Conte and I, both marveled in how unbelievably perfect it fit. Mr. Conte even muttered «you could be on the cover of GQ, in that suit.» Are you getting the picture yet? This guy has been in the suit /​tailoring game his whole life, his skill set is very apparent. To be dissatisfied with Mr. Conte’s work, is an impossibility.

Mr. Conte is a great friendly tailor with reasonable prices. You won’t find a better tailor in Providence. The fact that this man does not have more Unilocal reviews is an unfortunate reflection of the state of modern man’s attitude towards quality and craftsmanship.
Every time I walk into his shop to pick up a blazer whose sleeves I had shortened or a pair of trousers I had hemmed, Mr. Conte greets me the same way, with a subtle nod of recognition distinctive to a man like no other. No word is spoken, none is necessary; he doesn’t require a word, nor do I, he just turns and casually walks into his work room to retrieve my articles and hangs them near his counter with the respect and care of the master craftsman he is – it’s a wonder to behold. I feel like I’m transported to a bygone era or a scene of Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead and watching Howard Roarke at work in the rock quarry. This man loves his craft and it is truly a beautiful thing to behold.
I have been to his shop a few times now over the past couple months and he and I have grown to develop a subtle understanding of each other. Conte is more than a tailor, he is an artist that sculpts fabric to flatter one’s form. If I had the money to hire him to craft me a bespoke suit I would in a heartbeat. I rarely give out 5-​star reviews, but he deserves 10. If you’re looking for a tailor in Providence, look no further because you just stumbled upon the only one you’ll ever need.

Custom suits from a reputable tailor always fit better than store bought suits. Thats not a secret. However after having more than one custom suit made by a few different tailors I was told about Tony. Hands down best tailoring I’ve ever experienced. If you are looking for a true custom made suit that makes you look like a million bucks go see Tony. I regret having suits made by others after wearing Tony’s suit. Only problem I have now is I want to have my whole wardrobe tailored by Mr Conte!
PS – bring quarters for the meters on Peck St

A+. I had a pair of suit pants that I wanted cut slimmer. I had taken them to a different tailor before for alterations and asked about getting them slimmer, but he had replied that that would be too hard given their design and that I should just buy a new pair of pants. (He also hemmed them way too high but that’s another story) Mr. Conte here said he could do it with no hesitation, and the result came out wonderful. That in addition to the fact hat he’s an incredibly pleasant guy.

Tony is super experienced and really crafted. I came to his place in my thick winter coat and asked him to modify my dress. Without taking any measurement from me he just made my dress fit the very next day when I tried it on! It was real magic. I was really amazed. About the price it is a little beyond my expectation but this is the first time I’ve been to a Tailor’s here so I have nothing to compare to so far.

Tony is amazing. My mother-​in-​law-​to-​be gave me two of her old designer suits that were about 30 years old. The skirts fit me perfectly, but the jackets were about three sizes too large, as was the style in the 80s. After doing a bit of research, I decided that Conte’s was the place to take any suits that needed alteration, and boy was I right! Tony was completely honest about being able to make such drastic changes; one jacket he would be able to do, the other he would not. I really appreciated that honesty, since it saved time, money, and potentially ruining a high-​quality jacket. I just picked up the jacket today and it fits beautifully – it looks like I had it made for me.
I also had him hem two pairs of pants (completely normal; they came out looking great) and alter another jacket that had a more modern cut. Everything looked great and was all finished (two pants, two jackets) in about a week. I plan on bringing him my wedding dress in a few months – I trust him completely!

Finally, I found a tailor that takes his craft seriously. I brought a vintage Boss blazer to him. I loved the jacket but the shoulders were just wrong for me. Many had told me the work couldn’t be done because it had bulky shoulder pads. Not only did he do it, but it came out amazing. He found a way to blend vintage style with modern sleek style. The craftsmanship is absolutely top notch quality. Mr. Conte preserves the tradition of great tailoring. I highly recommend him to everyone.

I don’t have much experience with tailors, but I had a very pleasant one at Conte’s. I heard about the shop, or should I say Mr. Conte himself from a coworker and since I needed to get a bridesmaid dress fitted, and I refused to get it done at David’s Bridal, I decided to try him out.
Walking down the stairs in the shop is like you’re time traveling. The décor is old school all the way. It feels outdated and run down, but I decided to take it all as a sign that Mr. Conte focuses on the clothing not the décor. Upon reaching the counter I was greeted nicely by the owner and immediately shown to the dressing room to get changed. I was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes and had my dress back fitting perfectly only a few days later.
This place looks like it’s more of a suit maker and tailor, but I would come back here any time for a fitting.
