Will definitely come back again.

So far I've brought in several trousers for alterations and they do such a professional and clean job on each one. I couldn't recommend anyone else if you're in the Union Square area. When you make it to the building they will need to buzz you in and they are located a quick elevator ride on the second level.

I have brought several items to them during prepandemic times and most recently, and their service…read morehas always been impeccable with reasonable prices and short turnaround around time. I brought a cheap floor length trench coat to them and asked them to build me an inner lining so it would become slightly more wind proof. I knew it was going to be a challenging job since it would likely mean partially deconstructing/taking apart the jacket so the inner lining can be attached from the inside. Within 3 weeks worth of time, they had sewn in this beautiful silky satin lining with matching color. I wore it over my sweater and long sleeve shirt in a brisk afternoon, and sure enough having the extra lining completely helped! I also asked them to hem several pairs of thrift store pants with frayed edges. They did a beautiful job with picking out matching thread for hemline without significantly shortening the length. During my pick up I gave them additional jobs to repair several moth holes I discovered in a couple of wool items, including a beautiful tweed blanket I bought from Falkland Islands (I almost donated it). While I eagerly await to receive these items back I am confident that their work will continue to showcase the fine craftsmanship they always deliver. I cannot recommend this place enough! Their location is close to the Montgomery BART/MUNI station which is ideal esp if you're dropping off before or after work, coming from East Bay. The entrance is a bit hard to find but just make sure you ring the right door bell and they will buzz you in.

I had taken my prom dress back to Nordstrom twice for alterations to revive an old wardrobe item to wear for a wedding. They're my usual go-to spot because of free alterations associated with my Nordstrom Points account. The first time they didn't do the alteration as they were confused by my ask, the second time the manager took on my request but didn't tell me it was going to make my hem asymmetrical and look awful. Jenny was able to undo their work and get it back to looking normal, all while dealing with exceptionally delicate mesh/metallic fabric. I'm so glad to have found a local tailor that is within healing distance and can take on more challenging alterations that many tailors won't touch. I'm surprised some people say she doesn't speak great English, I had no challenges communicating with her and she understood every word I said no problem. Cash only, pay upon completion, and there isn't a reliable ATM nearby so make sure you come prepared during pickup!

A yelp search revealed nothing so I went to look for myself. I probably walked by this storefront two times before I finally saw the "Alterations" sign on the side of the entrance, half hidden by a stack of for sale items. The sign on front says "Discount Fabric" over the entrance. I walked in, saw the sewing machine and knew I had found it. I was greeted by the friendly store owner who peered at me over his glasses and jumped to attention when I told him I needed a pants hem. He spoke enough English to understand exactly what I wanted and let me know that my hidden hem would be more work than the standard and the pants would be ready the next day. In summary, I was extremely pleased with the work done on my pants for a more complicated hem, and only $8! I will definitely be back!
