  • Does the company allow walk-ins ?

    Yes, we have two large fitting rooms ready for you.


    However, we strongly encourage everyone to schedule an appointment. When you schedule an appointment with us, it automatically blocks out that designated time on our calendar and nobody else will be able to book that slot. The front desk and tailors will have that time set aside to directly address your alteration needs and answer any questions you may have.


    We do accept walk-ins, but if there are individuals in the shop that have scheduled an appointment, we give them priority and will provide you with an estimate of how long the wait may be. We keep it as simple as possible just let us know everything we need to know to match you with the best specialist for your garment.
