I have now had 6 suits made by Barney Goodman and I am addicted to the great service and the wide…read morechoice of cloths available. It takes approximately 6-8 weeks and the process includes measurement (obviously), choosing your cloth, style and lining (the best bit), a fitting (where you really do get a jacket with one arm and chalk marks all over it!) and then a couple of weeks after that the completed suit. The quality of the work is excellent and you will really notice the difference compared to an off-the-peg option. You also can learn from John Ibbeson (aka Barney Goodman) what to look for when buying a suit. One point to note, Barney Goodman no longer has a shop on Ecclesall Road, but you'll be able to find the website and contact details if you Google it. Forget Paul Smith, Hugo Boss and co, if you need a new suit and are prepared to pay around £500, then have one made bespoke to you - you will not regret it.

Extremely reasonable charges and quick efficient service. I've recommended the Alteration Studio to many of my friends who have gone on to use them and been equally impressed with the results.

I guess I didn't realize just how much there is within walking distance of where we live! Mr…read more Snarky showed me a pair of his trousers and at the bottom he had ripped the hem. Since I don't have the equipment to fix the hem, I figured I would try to find a tailor that could fix it. Besides, you never know when you might need a tailor. I found Carols Express Alterations on Yelp, but it didn't have any reviews. I figured since it was about a 15 minute walk on a lovely, sunny day, to give it a go. I nearly walked right by the place and had no clue there was a tailor there! When I walked in it was quite busy with a small queue. There are a couple of sewing machines in the window, with the counter and till to the left. On the day that I dropped the trousers off, there was only one person at the counter. Along with tailoring, they also offer ironing and laundry services. I was asked when I wanted to pick up the trousers and it turns out with easy repairs they can do them same day, but I was in no hurry so I just asked for a few days later. They give you a ticket (don't lose it because they don't put names on them) and you pay when you pick up. I had thought about picking up the trousers on my way to pick up Mr. Snarky at the train station, however, there isn't much for parking. There is a pay-and-display across the street, but I find it is usually full during the day. So I just walked back up and when I walked in, there were two staff, this time no queue. One of the staff was working at one of the sewing machines, while the other took my ticket and went in search of the trousers. Alterations for trousers was £3, which is less than what I would have spent getting the supplies to repair the hem myself, not to mention they probably did a better job than I could have done. The hem was repaired quite nicely and it looks like they used a sturdier thread than what was previously used (I compared it with the hem on the other leg). Overall, really happy with the job they did, it was very fast, convenient, and affordable! I am considering taking my wedding dress from earlier this year and having some alterations made for the wedding and reception in the U.S. next year.
