The service of Eddies expert tailoring is always great. It's best to arrive early for a slight chance of being finished in an hour. I always buy coffee for the tailors and they always take good care of me. I trust them for higher quality tailoring than using a dry cleaner that has a tailor in their shop. read more

They do an excellent job - and are very clear when you *don't* need alterations. Highly recommend.

Eddie retired ... quality and service hasn't been the same. Just got a pair of shorts hemmed and the stitching was obviously crooked, but the tailor wouldn't hear anything about it. Frustrating because I think in the past, they would have made it right. Then I discovered that they used a weird color thread to stitch the shorts so I had to bring it there to be corrected. Prices have also gone up so less of a reason to travel here! A $10 hem was actually $20 with all the extra trips I had to make. read more

THE BEST TAILOR IN NYC! I've been going to Joseph, Ivan, and their wonderful team for the past three years, and they never cease to impress me with their skill, fair pricing, and professionalism. They put genuine thought and care into every piece, making sure it fits your body perfectly. I've trusted them with everything from jeans and silk skirts to trench coats and even knits and the results are always perfect. Their prices are super reasonable and the quality is unmatched. If you need tailoring in NY, please come here. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place is wonderful! The staff is so kind and welcoming. I had a coat tailored and another dry cleaned and they did a fabulous job with both. And the pricing is very reasonable. Will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Affordable tailoring with fast turnaround time, Joseph is the best! I first came in to get my fleece jacket repaired. The elastic on the sleeve was falling off, and because it only required about 2 inches of stitching to be fixed, he had it fixed right there in about 5 mins, free of charge. I came back on a Saturday a couple weeks later with 3 pairs of pants that were too big and needed the waist to be tailored. He quickly took measurements while I was there, and I came back a couple days later to pick them up. They fit perfectly, and for $50, it's the most affordable tailoring I've found for great craftsmanship. Definitely coming back for all my tailoring needs! read more

Amazing! They did a great job. I went to Expert Tailoring to get a formal dress altered and they did a fantastic job. The staff were all so kind, too! Overall awesome experience. I just went back the other day and brought a pair of jeans... I will continue to go back to Expert Tailoring Not to mention good prices. read more

Fast service great tailors if you need something done at a very fast timely manner I definitely recommend them

I been using them for over 2 decades first it was Eddy and now Joseph the have the best service I live in Dubai and everytime i come visit I save most of my professional tailoring for them! they make clothes look and feel like they were made just for you! excellent service! read more

Horrible service, horribly late every single time don't go here worst experience that I had with tailoring

Great guy; excellent work. Not difficult to get to from Upper Eastside. Open seven days a week!

Great Service. Amazing prices!! Definitely recommend, I got pants trimmed for only $10 and my dress shortened for only $25. Very happy with this place read more

Couldn't be happier with the services and customer care! I had two leather jackets tailored to hem each sleeve and everything turned out exactly as I would have hoped. They are super kind and not only produce good work, but are much faster than other places I have gone to over the years. I was also wowed by the prices they charged me... completely reasonable, if not downright cheap compared to other tailors I've visited over the years. Will absolutely keep coming back, it is worth the trek even if you do not live in the area! read more

Super friendly and attentive. My clothing fits much better now. Definitely coming back.

I love this place. Eddie is an amazing tailor and his team is superb. You can bring your most expensive clothing to him and he's got you. I am pleased with his work and he remains a trusted tailor for my entire family. read more

I came in yesterday with a pair of pants (that had a stain on the bottom cuff). The man there was so kind and funny, he was quick to measure where to hem the pants, and gave me a very affordable quote! He told me to come in the next day which is way faster than some other tailors I have been to. Picked them up this morning, he did an excellent job! He hemmed the stain away, and matched the stitching to the original pant line. I will definitely come here again if I need more tailoring done! Thank you so much! read more

High quality alterations and great prices. I have been using Mr. Eddy's fine tailoring services for years, since having a suit from now-defunct Label on Lafayette St. altered here. Since then, I trusted Mr. Eddy with all alterations I needed; and with "all" I mean ALL. A suit bought at the Barney's Warehouse sale that was a full size bigger was custom fitted to perfection by Mr. Eddy. Same with a Hugo Boss Jacket[1]. More recently, I had a pair of pants of a Ben Sherman suit fitted here. For $5. Same day work. Just to put things into perspective: to have those same pants cleaned at my local dry cleaners is just $0.50 less. Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you: Mr. Eddy is good. Very good. Even now that I live in Brooklyn and I have to make a bit of an effort to come here (about one hour by subway), it's still worth it. Stellar service at unbeatable prices. Open Monday to Saturday,, 7am-6pm. --------------------------------------- [1] I am tall and thin; some time I have to buy suits/jackets that are one size bigger in order for the sleeves/pants to fit. read more

If you are looking for a high-quality tailor with unbeatable prices and turnaround time, look no further. I have at least 10 tailors closer to me than Expert Tailoring that I looked into, but Expert Tailoring is by FAR the cheapest and fastest service without compromising quality. Joseph is the man and knows how garments are supposed to fit. I trusted these folks to work on an extremely high-quality leather jacket of mine that was just too large in certain areas and they absolutely did not disappoint. They will continue to be my go-to tailor as long as I live here / they are in business. read more

Had a wonderful experience here!! I had a last minute need for hemming for a bridesmaids dress and they worked so hard and so fast. I can't thank them enough! Will definitely be back read more

For a midtown dweller to trek down the LES for speedy tailoring service is a big risk with the opportunity cost of time (obviously). Fortunately, this risk was handsomely rewarded with an article of clothing that was altered to exact specifications within twenty minutes and cost less than ten dollars. Eddie's team did an awesome job and took care of my request immediately even though there were four other customers waiting to be serviced. Why five stars? Same exact service at a midtown tailoring establishment quoted me for more than two times the price and a minimum of twenty four hours for the alteration to get done. Thanks Eddie! read more

Some girls go to Kleinfields to say YES to the dress, I go to Eddie's Tailor to SAVE my dress. Rule that I learned, never try and order to a bridesmaid dress two months before the wedding online. That is too short of a time period even for express shipping. After looking for dresses in boutiques all over NYC, I finally went online and ordered a dress that was one zip too small and didn't zip up all of the way (hey, it was the only one that I could find in that exact fabric, color and designer online ... desperate times call for desperate measures lol!) I brought my dress over to Eddie and he was able to let out the dress for only $25. Other places would have charged me $60 or more dollars. He was able to have it returned to me in just two shorts days. The dress fits perfectly! I also got the zipper of my jacket replaced for another $25 and done within one hour. I cannot recommend this place more! I have officially found my new tailor in NYC! read more

See all

Brought in a suit that I will be wearing to my wedding. Provided 2 weeks to make standard alterations. The process for sizing me was fine, and actually very extensive. The issue was on execution... ...Showed up for my first fitting on a Thursday - they promised it would be ready - and nothing had been done. Zero... ....I came back on Saturday and the jacket had been mostly done but the sleeves were still unattached, and the pants hadn't been touched.... ...Came back again on Monday and the jacket was finally in one piece, but the pants had still not been touched... ....I waited for 30 min while they rushed through the pants alterations. We'll see if it holds through my wedding ceremony. Will not be returning for any reason. read more

Great prices and very good workmanship. Pants hemmed in 10 min while I waited and he replaced patches on my work uniform all at great price and while I waited. Can't beat the prices and service. read more

Terrible! I have been a loyal customer for years, but not anymore. They stained my white dress which was brand new from the store, but they insisted the stain was already on the dress. They were very rude and insistent that they were right. I could not believe how they treated a customer who has been going to their store for years!!! I'll never go back again. Also, I have noticed that the proprietor "Eddie" seems to lose his temper quite easily, especially if you are a woman. read more

There was a disagreement over some work done. We paid for an item to be altered but when we got it home, there were only pins in the item. It was obvious that they forgot to do the actual stitching. My wife went back to show them the error and to have them do the work we paid for. Instead, the owner lost his temper and said some really rude things so my wife left. Also, this is an all cash business so insist on a receipt! There are plenty of good tailors in this town and definitely ones with better manners who don't curse out women. We won't be back. read more

I will NEVER go back here again simply because Eddie (big nose with the mole) had a bad attitude because I made him sew a patch onto an item over again since the original job was clearly uneven. I must add that this job was given to him several days ago so there was absolutely no reason for a single patch to be unevenly sewn on. Busy and overwhelmed with orders is still not a good enough reason to have a bad attitude and do rushed, tacky work. I didn't get an apology or anything. He is very unprofessional. I'll be sure to take my business a few doors down to Allen Tailors. read more

I have been going to them for almost 20 years. What a great value for the good quality work they do. We no longer live or work in the city but I still find a way to get work done by Expert Tailoring. read more

We've been coming to Eddie for years. Alterations are half the price of upper west side, so it's worth the trek down once we've a batch to do. A block away from the subway entrance (and even handier on occasions when the D is rerouted there on weekends), with several Citibike stations close by. Not fancy but there's a booth where you can change. I recently had the zipper replaced on a ski jacket - Eddie offered a choice of durable zips and did a flawless job for just $30. Tip: Always call ahead before you pick up alterations: sometimes, it does take an extra day. read more

Needed my maid of honor dress altered for my best friend's wedding. Took the tailor 5 min. to pin my dress/mark out the details and only 3 days to complete the task...flawlessly! The fact that I was only charged $55 as opposed to a tailor in Brooklyn who assumed that $200 was a reasonable price for the same service, makes me wish that I could give Expert Tailoring more stars. read more

I went to Stanton tailor shop prior to coming here, and Eddie expert tailor is better in every way. I have also been to many tailors in California and Eddie expert tailor has to be one of the best in terms of quality and service. First impression: Looks of the shop can be deceiving. I hesitated at first going in because of the interior was old but Eddie's professionalism and hospitality quickly changed my mind about this place. Quality of work: 5/5 The stitching and turn over time is superb and fast. I brought two suits in. one with minor alteration (size 34s to 34s) and one with major alterations (36s to 34s). Took less than 1 week each to finish. Cost: 5/5 averages around 50-100 dollars per suit (jacket and pants) depending on alterations. Stanton tailor shop easily charged double for the same service and I've paid a lot more back in California for similar alterations. Service: 6/5 Eddie greets and took my measurements right away. I've only been there 3 times and he already recognizes me and had my suits ready. After getting one of the suits altered, I noticed the arms needed to be slimmer. I took it back in the next day and Eddie altered the arms for FREE of charge and had it ready by next day. you cant find this type of service anywhere in new york. I definitely recommend this gem to all of my friends! Thanks again and I will be back with more suits in the near future. read more

Hands down the best in the city. They are brilliant! Fast, affordable and really high quality work. I've used them for 5years, they did the alterations for my suit and my wife's wedding dress. I come all the way from harlem, that's how legit these people are. My weight fluctuates a lot and they have basically reconstructed suits for me. I am a professional craft artist and let me tell you, these are skilled craftspeople! Truly, this place is a treasure. read more

I've been using him for years for hems and have never been disappointed. He's polite, he's accommodating ~ many times you can wait for your item and lastly he is so affordable. Kudos to him and his workers. read more

I just walked in here today (a Saturday) per recommendation from a friend (I usually go to another person not far away) to hem a one-piece for an event this Wednesday. I was fully expecting to drop it off and have to pick it up on Monday. He offered to hem them right on the spot! Super affordable, he was super nice, and I will definitely be back for future alterations. Thank you!!! read more

got my jumpsuit hemmed. Very basic work...i had it shorted by 2 inches or so. He asked if i was to wear this with heels or flats and measured accordingly. Got it done within an hour for $6 bucks. My jumpsuit was made with a chiffon like material. We'll see about other things read more

I would love to give Eddie 5 stars... He has done great work for me and I've never had an issue with anything he has done. BUT recently, my favorite silk dress just disappeared. I took two dresses to get tailored at the same time, and only got one back. He wasn't all that helpful, claiming I only gave him one dress to start with. I had to go into the back of the shop and literally crawl around to look through piles of clothing that were laying on tables as well as hanging up. Let's just say that organization is NOT key there, so you better keep your receipts!!!! After spending almost a half hour looking, I ended up leaving, still without my dress in hand. It was a $200 dress, and one of my favorites. He didn't offer to refund me or replace it (not that it can be - it's no longer being sold). Really disappointed, and will for SURE never go back there. I do love the prices and the work he's done on other things, but I would watch out about things getting lost here. read more

I go to Eddie's for pants tailoring - hemming or waist alteration. I've been there approximately 7 times over the past 5 years - always polite, fast turnaround and prices are excellent. I recommend. read more

If I could give negative 5 I would. I brought a shirt there that had a lot of sentimental value. I was going to mention it so he would be extra careful... then thought. They should handle everything professionally no need to say anything. HE LOST my shirt. Maybe if the place didn't look like a hoarding closet, he would find things. If you care about your clothes DONT COME HERE read more

Yah! I came here on a friend's recommendation. They expertly fixed my two jackets with new zippers, which I brought in. For my leather pants, I had brought in a plastic zipper, but Eddie said, "Why don't you use a metal zipper, like what's used for jeans?", it's better and stronger. He found one for me in his stash, and I am very happy now, wearing them. And all for only $40, very quick. read more

I came here to get a pair of pants taken in at the waist and also hemmed. I paid less than $20!! And they were available to pick up the next day! So happy with the work done and will definitely be back. read more

Brought in my bridesmaid dress, which was a bit too snug, the day before I had to fly to FL for my BFs wedding in December. I was going to see if they could let out the seems a little bit by the following morning. If they didn't think that would work, then I had another dress that was 2 sizes too big and I was going to see if they could alter it to make it fit. Luckily, they had me try on the too tight dress and said they could just let out the seems a bit. I was happy because I was able to take back the 2nd dress and get an $85 refund since I didn't end up using it- whoop! So they did the job of letting out plus hemmed the dress in less than 24 hours for only $40. The guys were all really nice and accommodating! I will definitely use them again! read more
