Shin’s Alterations & Tailors

Great prices, professional attitude. I’ve had dozens (perhaps a hundred) items altered (pants, suits, overcoats) and they’ve been more reliable year after year than any other tailor I’ve found in town.
One overcoat was a really difficult job (it had a fitted cut, a tricky lining and real buttons at the wrist — one had to be moved and a new buttonhole made. The shop I purchased the coat from asked me how it was possible to pull off the alterations so effectively when I brought it back to show them what I’d had done. For many years, I’ve felt like I owe the two owners a Christmas card for how good they make me look.
Full disclosure: I once had a pair of pants that would have been very difficult to replace hemmed almost an inch too short by this tailor and their was barely enough fabric to correct the issue, but it was correctable, and it was corrected with a sincere apology.

Work is good, but she demands you put something down on bill, even if you’re a regular customer, instead of paying at pickup. if the bill is $ 30, wants you to pay something down. Feel like you’re being hammered for cash. Payment upfront is not told when you call.
Bring cash when you walk in door.
