You're a WIZARD, Fabian! Needed to get suit pants altered for a business trip. Needed it done while I wait. On a SUNDAY! No other place could help but I called Orchard Street tailors (that's what they were called in most places online) and they responded. Gave me a reasonable quote over the phone (via text) and I rushed over. Then a problem - the pants had no more fabric to let out. Most places would stop there. But Fabian pulled extra fabric from the hem without even shortening the pants. Hence, he's a wizard. Got it done in about 30 mins while I waited. Super professional and friendly. We chatted while he worked. Great guy. I'm a brand-new customer and this was the service! I'm blown away. Really glad I found this place and Fabian. read more

They are FANTASTIC! This is the only tailor I use in NYC. They are fast, efficient, and affordable.

Efficient, friendly, and do a great job! I had a bridesmaid dress (~2 weeks) as well dress pants (less than 1hr) hemmed and they did great. 10/10 read more

I've been coming to this tailor shop for some pant hem services mm for couple times now, it's been great that I dropped them off and usually can pick up within 30mins. If you have multiple items during weekend might take a bit longer: suggest you drop off before lunch then your items will be ready after your lunch. They open 9-6 so daily. Their price is unbeatable, only $10 to hem pants; that's the cheapest I've ever been. read more

Excellent service and affordable prices. Fabian is the best. Will recommend to all my friends. I will be back!

My pants were hemmed perfectly in less than an hour! Very pleasant people work there and I am very satisfied with their services. Prices are posted on the wall so no surprises. Highly recommend. read more

They are still the best tailors and while their prices have risen over the years , they are very reasonable to other tailors. I have been using them for 30 yrs never disappointed ! read more

This tailor is my SECRET WEAPON! Their tailoring of jackets is superb and they always make me look skinny. No diet needed. Muahhaha. The first time I came here I simply needed two zippers replaced on a dress and a pair of jeans. The super sweet main guy took a look at the dress and since it's a reallllly long zipper he said it would be a little more expensive to repair-- which I said no problem. Then, a few seconds later, he's staring at that long zipper and randomly grab pliers as I'm standing at the front desk ready to pay him. HE FIXES THE LONG ZIPPER ON MY DRESS RIGHT AT THE COUNTER! Said it wasn't as complicated as he thought and was only misaligned, not broken. Does not charge me for it even though I would've never known. Wow. Moral of the story- they don't take advantage of customers! They are honest, very reasonably prices and their alterations and repairs are done in lightning time. I don't live in LES anymore, but still travel from Gramercy to have my clothes done here. Obsessed. read more

Been going to these guys for years! They are the best and always deliver on time service!

The best tailors in the biz. So nice and accommodative. Highly highly recommend!!!!!!!

I always put off getting my things tailored because most of the time it takes too long & it can be expensive. But this place not only has insanely fast service (got my things in an hour), but also good prices! I had a pair of pants hemmed for $10, and the bottom of some shorts that have become unraveled fixed for $5. So happy I can finally wear these pieces & will come here for future tailoring needs read more

Great efficient and affordable tailoring spot. Covid Safe and polite. Once or twice I've gone and all my items were not ready, but I have their phone number now so I can text them and check first. Highly recommend. read more

The shop took in waist of a suit (both jacket and pants) and the alternated suit fit very nicely. Previously the shop also hemmed the tux pants for us. The shop is our go-to place for tailing work. read more

Very accommodating and excellent work. I needed to get my pants shortened quickly and it was absolutely no trouble for them to accommodate me. the work was great and I definitely will use them again read more

So happy my favorite GO TO TAILOR is still amongst us. Very affordable!! Very clean!! Very QUICK establishment!! I've seen them repair, alter and even make garments from material that was brought in to them. I am so glad that the art of tailoring and seamstresses is not lost. God Bless Fabian and his tailoring crew. HAPPY 2019!! read more

Been coming here for years. Friendly staff with great prices. I've had high end suits to T-shirts' tailored here

I've been there twice for zipper slider issues. They have been nothing but lovely and helpful. Other places will tell you that they have to replace the whole coat zipper for $40 or $50. That may be necessary is the zipper is missing teeth. But if all you need is a replacement zipper slider and pull, this is the place to go. They will make your entire coat functional for a pittance - and with a smile. I needed a couple of old winter coats to be zippable again. They made that happen in about three minutes - if that. I am so grateful! read more

Literally PERFECTION in MINUTES! New to New York and I've tried several tailors. All bad experiences for just normal gems or tapering. (With the exception of Hallak Cleaners on UES but overpriced) this place is a gem! Super efficient , perfect hem lines and great prices! Like I'm so happy my friend recommended them to me now I'm coming to them all the way from 69th & Park to have my clothes tailored here! LOVE LOVE LOVE! read more

Fabian and the team at The Orchard Tailor Service are courteous and professional. Most relevant, is their ability to alter almost any garment and fabric. If they cannot alter your garment, they tell you up front. Lastly , their prices are reasonable. The only negative is that Fabian is a Mets fan. Thankfully, he's willing to service Yankee fans. -Kevin D. read more

I brought in 4 pairs of pants to be hemmed. That cost me $14. It costs that much PER PAIR in a lot of places. I've been here three times, and they've never given me a ticket or anything for whatever I dropped off. The guy just says, "Nah, I'll remember you." This might bother some people, but I enjoy the familiarity. And the insanely cheap prices. read more

Maybe it's the family thing, I just love these people Always cordial, smiling, and just doing excellent work. I can bring them anything and it comes back like new. Spend your money here!! You will not be disappointed.. read more

Super quick and quality work for a reasonable price. I've gotten formal dresses, jeans, pants and button downs done here and it alway turns out well. read more

Best tailors ever. Anything you need, they can probably do it. I've been going here for the past 6 or 7 years.

The very best. The tailors are up to almost any challenge. They go above and beyond to make your alterations look as though they came off the rack perfect. I love this workshop full of top notch professionals who do this work at a super fair price. Top of the line. Always. And they are fast. 6 stars! read more

Run as fast as you can! This should be no stars. After waiting 3 weeks of them telling me my clothes aren't ready I decided to go pick them up anyway. I got there and it turns out they lost my blouse. Didn't say sorry. Just said we can't find it. I was upset. They said go home we will look on the camera and call you tomorrow morning. They never called. I tried calling all day and they wouldn't pick up the phone. I texted also. After three days they said we can't find it. No apology. They did refund it. The process took five weeks of me pushing them. read more

They used to be excellent everything has changed They used to say come back in an hour great work Then it was come back a few days from the date you brought your clothes in. You'd come back it wasn't ready they say you should have called. Another time I called they said come in... came there it wasn't ready said comeback in a few days now I brought the clothes a week ago said I need for my vacation trip they said call first I called the day they said to call and they said not ready again! they said come back next week its not ready. I said I need those pieces for my vacation next week they said come later. I am nervous to go all the way there only to be told not ready again.They also lost a favorite dress not junk really nice dress. They never offered compensation Now they are looking for another dress they put aside and couldn't find the last time I was there a few weeks ago to pick it up and drop some things off. Everything has changed there they are not who they became famous for.they do have competition only a few blocks away. People are heading there now, They ruined a great business. It all went to their head read more

I dropped of two expensive vintage t-shirts and they lost them (and blamed me). don't trust them with anything important - their system is a circus designed by clowns. no organization, no computers-- they don't even capture names or phone numbers with orders. Awful awful experience. Will update to a positive review if they find my shirts. read more

This is the worst place I've ever been to get my clothes tailored. Brought in 5 pairs of pants to get altered 6 weeks ago. They first told me that it would take a week because I am a new customer (compared to shorter times offered to old customers), then consistently delayed my pickup date every week for six weeks. I have visited the store three times at this point. Also reached out to the business to inform them of this issue, yet did not receive any response back. Infuriated and frustrated by this service, never returning again. read more

This place is the absolute best!!!! If you ever need any alterations to your clothing come here hands down. If you're ever in a time crunch and need something altered in a hurry this place is the best! Prices are very very reasonable! They're all the nicest people ever! I'd give them 10 stars if I could! read more

I needed the waist of a bias-cut slip dress taken in for my graduation and a couple of pants hemmed and they did a great job! The team is very kind and quick, and it only cost me $40 total for a dress alteration and hemming two pants! Highly reccomend read more

Hadn't been here in years and decided that I would try this Shop again...did decent work before....simple mending needed to be done like seams coming apart, zipper relaced, etc. Dropped off 8 items on Friday afternoon and told they would ready on Sunday afternoon...made the good decision I thought to wait until Monday after work to pick up my clothes... Once I have the counter guy my ticket, they brought me a lovely evening gown..problem not mine!! Then SURPRISE SURPRISE when they tried to locate my items it was found that they had not been touched!! The counter guy told me there was no day indicated on their part of the ticket....so the items were not touched!! Well of course I lost it and made the mistake of having 3 additional items...thought my others might be ready...dummy.... I decided to proceed and give them a chance to complete ALL the work by Friday....well got a call on Wednesday from the shop to confirm I was indeed showing up on Friday to pick up...thought that was a bit strange... Arrived on Friday afternoon to find my ALL WAS FINISHED!! I examined them before leaving....okay work done...did find many threads that should have been trimmed to make the sewing look more professional..only criticism since I sew but hate doing alterations... Overall an adequate job...not sure if I will go back based upon lack of the ship's care and attention read more

Avoid. I dropped off a dress to be gemmed and it was supposed to be ready the following Sunday. When I showed up to pick up it was not completed. I was promised it would be completed by 6pm that night. When I called at noon on Monday it still was not finished. When I was told it would be a "few minutes," I asked what that meant exactly as I was going to leave a meeting early to pickup. The person on the phone was so rude and hung up on me mid-sentence. All of this is aggravation to pay $45 for a simple hem. read more

$10 pants hem at some random tailor shops - hmmm.. should I? $3 pants hem at Orchard Street Tailor - HANDS DOWN!! read more

They're open 9 am to 7 pm 7 days a week. The shop is tiny; only two dressing rooms and they do get packed. If you go early on the weekends, they'll have your pant hems ($3) or skirt hems ($5) ready for you in about an hour. I take my new and my vintage items there and always get great work done at a very affordable price. I've had zippers replaced for $8, and if you need a coat fixed they'll do it too at a great price. They even work on leather and fur. It really doesn't have to cost you a bundle to look good. I just found the phone number 212-228-0429 read more

Before you decide to come here after the 4 and 5-star reviews, read this one! It may save you a cherished piece of clothing. I have been coming here for a few months, and I'm beginning to see the poor quality of their work now. The hems on my work pants have come unraveled 2 months later. One pair of pants came back to me too short (I have to wear them with flats); another way too loose. Once I brought a work skirt with a rip up the pleat- a quick 2 minute fix. Instead, they made made a hole to the left of the pleat- and insisted it was there before! Their prices are also widely inconsistent. Last weekend, I brought in two work skirts that were too big (had to be taken in on both sides). They quoted me $45 for both. I thought they were joking. I mean, if I had a sewing machine I could tailor a skirt myself. They said that instead of sewing in the sides, they would have to cut and re-sew the back zippers (made no sense to me). I decided to check with Nelson Tailor- they are charging me $20 for both. And they said they could tailor from the sides. That's more like it. Plus the guy there is really friendly. You can tell from reading some of these reviews that Orchard clearly charges people different prices for the same work ($12 vs. $4 hems?). Maybe they've started to get so popular that they think they can jack up their prices? Oh, and forget about same day service. read more

I've been here twice, once for a pair of jeans, and then another time for a jacket that had a button break off. Let's just say that I was way too forgiving. The saga that follows can be summed up like this: go somewhere else where they have their act together and treat you and your clothes with respect! When I brought in the first pair of jeans, they promised that they would retain the original hem and also have a 1 hour turnaround. I thought to myself, "Sounds good to me!" However, that 1 hour ended up being two days, and they even tried to give me totally different jeans! Not to mention that the original hem wasn't there, and they just sewed it up sloppily with white thread (while these jeans are dark with clearly darker blue thread all throughout the jeans). The second time I went in, I thought, alright, this is a simple job to sew on the original button to the original spot. Nope, they manage to screw that up too! Not only did they promise (and again, fail to deliver) a 1 hour turnaround, they forgot all about my garment. I had to hold myself back while pointing out that my now-wrinkled jacket was sitting underneath a pile of clothes 3 feet high on their counter the next day. On the third day, I walk in to pick up my jacket and I see a giant ball of thread (enough to secure a Navy SEAL, jeez!) holding down some hideously colored button to my jacket! They lost the original button and had the audacity to claim that I gave them a (clearly) different colored button! Now, I may be too much of a stickler about people keeping promises. But when it comes to clothes that have cost me more than $100 per piece, I expect a certain respect to be afford me as well as my garments. These people refused to do either, so just be warned. read more

They are cheap, but if you need something done right away, do not so much as step outside for a soda pop. These clowns will tell you it will be done in half an hour and you will hop your cute ass into that lil' vintage store down the way, and come back an hour later only to find your clothes haven't been touched. If you've ever had a superior who likes to micromanage, tell them to bring their annoying bullshit down to the Orchard Tailor, these fools need someone breathing down their necks, and I just don't have the time for it. Don't think that leaving your clothes there for days will mean that when you arrive, you'll have a finished product. You will still have to sit your little butt down and wait. Lastly, if you need to keep the extra fabric from the bottom of your jeans, forget about it, they will lose it for sure. This happened to me twice. read more

Horrible. Just horrible. Incompetent tailoring, rude service.... Took a brand new shirt in (literally unfolded it from the package in their tiny changing room) for some minor alterations... got it back with PEN STAINS ACROSS THE BODY. They claim they didn't do it, naturally. Tried to remove their stain, tried to have the cleaners remove it... no luck. Out of a shirt, but at least I can advise Yelpers to avoid. GIven the strangely positive reviews, I assume many of you have no experience with tailoring or what quality tailors can do because this is bottom of the barrel. Your local dry cleaners can do better work. STAY AWAY! read more

Never come to this place. I brought a beautiful suit and jacket that was already pinned. they butchered everything and managed to stain both the jacket and pants. when i explained to them, they claimed that the person at the register that day told them I was made aware of the stains, which I was not! The suit had never been worn, and was brand new and spotless. when i asked to contact a manager or owner, i was refused and the man behind the counter started yelling at me. he told me that i must come in the next day when the original counter person would be working. I explained to them that I was leaving for a wedding tonight. they were extremely rude and refused to compensate me for the suit that they ruined. I never write Yelp reviews for anything. but this experience has left me so angry and helpless, that I had to share. If i could give zero stars i would. read more

I go here to get all of my pants, jeans, shirts tailored. It is the quickest and cheapest way to get my clothes tailored while I wait. I have been here probably about 7-8 times now, and I have never waited more than an hour for clothes to be altered. Always cheap, and always great service. I don't know how it can get better than this. There is almost no need for my short ass to worry about clothes not fitting anymore. I basically add 4 bucks to the price of any pants I buy and 7 to any shirt and know that it will be a perfect tailored fit! read more
