Still the same fast, high quality work we've come to expect. Don't waste time and money at the NEX; this place does it right.

Ask the Community - 6th Fleet Alterations

Do they do army uniforms?

I couldn't say for certain but I personally know they do Marine and I saw plenty of Navy uniforms in there. I'd give them a call. They did quality in regulations work on my dress and service uniforms as well as name tapes made and sewn on same day!

Review Highlights - 6th Fleet Alterations

I usually take my uniforms/patches to Chief Macs, & when they turned down my civilian clothes that needed to be hemmed I went here.

No need to toss your Birks when they are worn to pieces. They resole Birkenstocks with brand marked…read moresoles. I've walked the US in these bad boys and they were able to replace them making the shoe look new! Great value and great for the environment I'll be taking my families alterations and shoe repair here in the future! Thank you!

I went to this location to have something fixed that was a little unusual, but I was recommended to…read morego to a shoe repair place. So, I took my carry-on travel bag to Miller's Shoe Repair & Alternations. The backstory. To avoid having to carry it with me while traveling, I had checked the bag. Unfortunately, when I got to my final destination, the zipper that was on the bag was not there. The zipper was still zipped up, but the zipper was missing. I only had the bag for about three months, so I figured I'd see if someone could fix it. Getting back to Miller's, they took a look and advised me what was needed in order to fix the bag. They didn't guarantee if they could fix it, because of the zipper type. (Yah, I learned something new about zippers.) They told me they would try and see what they could do. They charged me and I was given a claim ticket to come back in a couple of weeks. I got back and it was fixed! I was highly impressed by their ability to fix the issue, and I appreciate them setting the expectations that they might not be able to after explaining to me why. They are very knowledgeable and a great place to go to in order to get timely work done. They are located in Ward's Corner, so they are local for anyone who lives in that area.

She shortened the sleeves on ALL the shirts, so my $80 shirt that needed a button was cut to make it shirt sleeve. She was in a hurry and paid no attention to her written instructions on the receipt. So I have a ruined shirt and she did not want to offer any compensation saying she could not afford it. Eventually I got her to write a check for $20. Do not trust this shop with anything you value.

Long story short, save yourself a lot of frustration and go somewhere else. In summary: forgot…read moreabout my items, when I showed up rushed the job to where I had to get it redone elsewhere, incorrectly performed work on a second item twice, slow turn arounds. Detailed explanation below: I dropped off two items, a fabric briefcase that needed a patch sewn onto it and a jacket liner that needed a zipper replacement. There was another reviewer who took issue with pre-paying for services. I don't necessarily agree with that, as it is fairly normal for small businesses to require payment up front. This does, however, become an issue later on in this saga. Owner stated services should take two weeks. Two and a half weeks later, I return to the shop only to have the owner state she does not remember me (I presented her my receipt). Eventually she finds my items only to realize that she had completely forgotten about them and had not even started the work. Asks me to come back. This is the first indication I had that I should probably take my business elsewhere, but again I had pre-paid so this was not an easy option. Upon returning to the shop, she had completed my briefcase work, but again needed me to return for the jacket liner. It was obvious she had rushed the job just to get it done, and within a week the stiches started falling apart. She had rushed it to the point that there were significantly less sitches in the patch than were needed and I ended up having to take the briefcase elsewhere to have the work redone. In regards to the jacket liner, I returned a week later (now 3.5 weeks after initial drop-off) only to find that she had installed the incorrect zipper type. Being a jacket liner, it required a reversible zipper. She installed a traditional zipper which was both incorrect and made the jacket liner unusable as an actual jacket liner. I returned the liner to her at which point she stated "oh you want a reversible zipper? I will need to special order that. It will take one week to arrive and then two weeks to sew it on." I asked for a new receipt because I had a suspicion she would not remember me otherwise. Three weeks later (6.5 weeks after dropoff) I return for the jacket liner a third time. She, as predicted, did not remember me and told me I had already picked up my items even though I had handed her my reciept. She eventually found my jacket liner and once again the wrong type of zipper was installed. She then proceeded to argue with me despite me reminding her that she specifically said that she needed a week to order the correct reversible zipper. At that point, I just took my items and left. Save yourself the trouble. Go elsewhere. Norfolk Tailor at the MacArthur Center has worked out extremely well for me in the time since my debacle with Mina's Sewing Shop.
