They are definitely the best anywhere in this area!! I lost a lot of weight and needed the waist, legs and suit jacket taken in quite a bit! My suit was molded to my body and fits like a glove after they altered it! the quality of their work is AAA+++! read more

KJ did an amazing job on 5 suits I need resized after losing weight. He went to work on them immediately and even helped fix a couple tailoring issues from the previous sewing. Would highly recommend. read more

Overcharged me by about $75 for 2 shirts but at least I got my clothes same day. Consider one of the nearby outlets. After price checking the shirts I purchased at nearby suit retailers, the total of both shirts came out to be $75. He requested that I go to the bank across the street and bring him $150 cash. Don't be fooled by his friendly demeanor, he will scam you if he gets the chance. Make sure you pay by card and DO NOT PAY CASH. read more

very professional and well done, prices are good. Have a drink with the owner after you make your alterations.

I would highly recommend this place. If your suit needs to be tailored. This is the place to go. I give this place five stars read more

I had three blazers and one pair of trousers altered. Great, clean work timely delivered. It was a bit of a leap of faith because these items were on the higher end (Kiton, Brunello Cuccinelli) but Karim earned my trust and then some. A real pro that I'd trust with my best clothes. If that's not enough, he's a really nice guy and gives you a lot of value for your money. read more

I had my daughter's wedding was last last year in July and needed an experienced tailor to alter my suit. I saw his great reviews on line and decided to give them a try. Karim (owner) exceeded my expectations with high quality alteration and service. BTW - Karim has great selection and availability of high quality custom suits available. I have my son's wedding this year. Without question, Karim@ KJ Custom Couture & Alterations will be on my itinerary !! E. Berrios Morris County, N.J. County read more

I had such an amazing experience with Karim at his alterations shop. I brought him my grandmothers 70+ year old dress and had him remove the sleeves and make it fit me a little better. He went above and beyond and even fixed it AGAIN after the dry cleaner messed it up. I am beyond happy with him. It's always a pleasure going in to see him as well. He has coffee, espresso, water, etc. We talk and catch up and it's just a great experience. read more

See all

Brought a peacoat here i got as a gift years ago but it never fit right. KJ worked wonders and make a coat that was never worn to the only coat i wear! I highly recommend his services! He is extremely down to earth and kind. read more

Owner was a pleasure to work with! I needed a dress altered in a very short amount of time and he worked magic and had the dress ready earlier than anticipated (which left me time to press it before the big event!) 100% recommend this business to anyone looking for quality alterations and kind business owners. read more

The gentleman was lovely and very generous. Will definitely come back when I need something altered again. Thank you!

From what I have seen, "Nice guy" and "Good tailor" seem to be a contradiction in terms. By virtue of their craft, tailors generally have their frown face on, especially if you are asking them to do basic alteration work that does not involve the use of their well-honed skills. Not this guy - he was happy to do whatever I wanted him to, exactly the way I wanted to. If something wouldn't work, he gently pointed it out - "return the jeans if you can, alteration will make it worse". Will keep going back. There is such a paucity of great tailors. read more

3 stars for price for quality and interaction with tailor. Proceed with Caution. I brought 2 pieces to be tailored: a bridesmaid dress that needed to be taken in on the shoulders, bodice, and hem and a jumpsuit that needed a simple tailoring on the length. I tried both items on with the shoes I intended to wear with each. The tailor was able to turn it around quickly (7-10 days, which I thought was great). The jumpsuit was done well, though he complained (several times) about the material, which I thought was unusual. The dress was great at the top but hemmed two inches too short, which for heels, completely alters the look. In addition, he did not account for the length difference in the back of the dress where most women's derriere's will lift the dress slightly. When I pointed out that I asked for the dress to be sweeping the floor, he became annoyed and irritated, telling me I should have asked him to indicate as much. I had. For both elements he charged $180, which I thought was over the top. He does quality work, but his communication and interpersonal skills are lacking, especially when it comes to tailoring women's clothing. Would only considering using again in a pinch. read more

I needed a suit tailored last minute for a wedding. He did a beautiful job and done within a week! Very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend!! read more

I needed a bridesmaids dress hemmed and taken in. Karim did a wonderful job! His turn around time was amazing, I expected it to take much longer. He even made me a mask out the extra fabric, which was a pleasant and sweet surprise! He was always kind and friendly! I would highly recommend and will definitely return for any future alteration needs! He also does custom suits! read more

Came here in a recommendation and had a very short window to get alterations on a gown for an event the following weekend. Karim did a great job on the dress and got it done in the fast time frame I needed. read more

Been back here at least once a month since my first review. I have brought in shirts and all of my sport jackets/blazers. Amadeo consistently does great work. Now that I'm a regular he knows my preferences and the process is very smooth and quick. read more

I came to Custom Alterations to get my wedding tuxedo altered because it came in a smaller size and I could not be any more happy with the outcome. The service was excellent from the start and I received my suit earlier than expected. Karim tailored the suit to fit like a glove and I received so many compliments on the fit. I will definitely be returning for all my future alteration! read more

KJ Custom Tailoring And Alterations - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

My son had an issue with his suit that he ordered custom made on line. The jacket was too small and he was very uncomfortable in it. We remembered this tailor that we use to go to in Fairfield so we took it there to see what and if he could fix it. Well let me tell you. This guy KJ is an unbelievable tailor, and his personality is so warming. I felt like I've known him for years. He fixed the suit perfectly and actually helped take in a shirt that was too long. He hemmed another jacket for my son and that as well was perfect. He is very helpful and does not rush you at all. My husband is going to have a shirt or two custom made from him. I would highly, highly, recommend this business. read more

The location's a little unusual, but this tailor is legit. My husband brought a suit and a dress of mine with a broken zipper. He needed his suit by the end of the week before a business trip, and it was no problem. Just note that it's cash only! read more

KJ is a really professional and master he knows exactly what he is doing . I brought my suit and shirts and jeans to be altered he did a great job I'll be back and recommend him. read more

Amedeo is an old world tailor that is a master of his trade. I got a bridesmaid gown let out, and you couldn't even tell he did anything and it fit perfect! Very reasonably priced, and he's very humble about what he charges. read more

Very professional. Suites and sport coats done in a timely fashion. Fit was perfect.

The very best tailor you can find. Literally a surgeon-like tailor for resizing clothes. Amadeo is truly gifted.

I have been using him for my suits (Blazers and slacks) for many years and he is the THE BEST TAILOR. He is very well priced and very prompt with getting them back. You will be VERY happy with choosing Amadeo for all your tailoring needs. read more

This guy is the real deal old-world tailor. He's kind and polite, and does good,clean work.

Amadeo knows what he's doing and is reasonably priced. Very flexible and a pleasure to do business with!! He did 2 pants hemmed, and a lot of work on my tuxedo jacket. They turned out looking great! Highly recommended!! read more

In one word - PERFECTION. I brought my wedding dress here. It was a very difficult dress to alter; it had many sequins and no seams to work with. Amadeo took his time to thoroughly pin the dress to my exact needs. One week later it was ready, and I figured I would need to go back a few times for tweaks, as that is usually the case with alterations. Not with Amadeo. The first time I tried it on, it was perfect. PERFECT. I cannot stress this enough. It was absolutely perfected. He completely transformed the dress. It fit me like a glove and I still cannot believe the level of skill this man has. I would trust Amadeo with any item of clothing. As another reviewer said, he truly is a master tailor. I am still in awe of him as I type this. Reasonable price, friendly service, and MASTER TAILORING. He really is the best. read more

Amadeo is a master tailor. He knows how a man's suit should fit and does a great job every time. Many retail stores now send their clothing out for alterations after a sales person measures the customer. Amadeo does it all himself for a custom fit. read more

Amadeo is what they mean when they say "master tailor." I had a very delicate lace maid of honor dress that needed complex alterations and I was so nervous to take it to a tailor for fear it would be butchered, but he did an AMAZING job. I will trust him with any and all tailoring I need in the future! read more

This is the place you've been looking for. I've been searching for a high quality tailor for some time, and have been repetitively disappointed by dry cleaners. Amadeo only focuses on tailoring which is what I wanted. I went in for a quick split seam (which he repaired flawlessly on the spot) and now I know I will be going there for all suit alterations/repairs in the future. He doesn't have a website (good - less distractions) so I called for hours, he was open 9-3 on Saturday, not sure what weekday hours are. I'm very happy I found this place. read more

Amadeo altered my pants correctly and quickly (same day). Reasonable price. Friendly service.

Amazing work! After going to a different Taylor to alter a very expensive dress with no success. I brought the dress here. He altered it to perfection! I wish I can give him more stars. read more

High quality tailoring with a detailed understand of garments. Amadeo is great.
