Saint George Tailor

So, myself and my usual procrastinating ways left the hemming of my pants for my suit till the last couple days before the intended event. In doing so I couldn’t make y way out to my usual tailor so I hopped on Unilocal for a nearer solution.
Saint George Tailor is a small little shop off broadway on 21^st st. run by an elderly gentleman. One thing to note is I don’t believe he speaks English well if at all so if you have some specific instructions you may face some difficulty.
On to the job. If you need something done a little bit faster than normal he can probably handle this. I came in for a pants hemming, an easier task i feel, and I requested if I could pick it up the next day. Agreed and I went on my way after a speedy pinning. The price for the hemming was 8 dollars. I picked up my pants and went home to examine them. One thing i noted was the hem line was visible. Also a few wrinkles at the bottom do to an off level line. It will be okay for my event since it was last minute, but will probably have it redone later.
Summing it up, can handle emergency last minute work but probably not to the highest of standards.

This past summer I had this gentlemen hem the sleeves on my rainjacket. He did a perfect job for $ 15 in 2 days.

Small shop off on a side street. Metered parking right next to it. Sells leather women’s bags and other knick nacks. When you come in, its a little bit cozy for comfort. Bags all over the place and some open tables with their sewing equipment out in the open. Not that seamstress or tailor class vibe, but just a humble space to do work.
Was greeted by an old man when I came in on a Saturday, and brought in a long sleeve black and white gingham check long sleeve shirt. Told the tailor to slim the sleeves and take in the torso. Pinning process was effortless as if he’s done it thousands of times before. Took in both sides and one sleeve to get fit down.
Turnover was quicker than most shops in Bayonne – about 3 – 4 days than a usual 5 to 7 days if you’re not in a rush to get it back ASAP.
PRICE is really really reasonable. Was expecting around 20 to 35 for the alterations, but ended up ONLY paying $ 7 bucks for slimming down sleeves and trimming down the torso. DEFINITELY LOVE THE PRICE.
When I got it back Wednesday, however, I was expecting him to take it in from the shirt’s actual side seams, and sew it up keeping/​duplicating the original seam of the shirt. Instead he took it from the back and created «DART seams» when there were NO DART seams behind my shirt. It DID give my back a shape, but I didn’t specify that at all, esp when he was taking it in from the side seams. I don’t think he accounted for give space because the chest fit nicely but the lower half was a bit tight. Would have given 4 stars, but there were quite a number of loose left over black thread bits on the shirt and especially on the inside where the seams were sewed, so it’s kinda sloppy.
Would definitely come here again to bring old shirts to breathe new life into them since the price is arguably the CHEAPEST alteration I payed for, but I probably wouldn’t take any of my new stuff here. Will give it another try to see if pants are done better. Would really suggest that you be vocal with the alteration to get exactly what you want instead of relying of him to wing it.

A nice old man owns this shop. I’ve taken pants to be altered and buttons to be resewn on a coat. Good price and quality work.
