Great customer service. A little more expensive but as long as my things are 100% I do not mind paying a lil more. I'm from a bigger city and probably would have paid more like 15$ for my order.

Chris greeted me exceptionally. The seamstress, wish I caught her name, is this amazing, attention to detail expert who taliored my slacks. (waistline and hem) The turnaround ? 2 days. I did expect a week. She is busy. She was tending to another and I waited 20 mintes for her to finish. So worth the wait.

I will definitely be using your services again & telling others about my experience!

Walking in felt like the good old days when people actually went to work work and wanted to look their best. Took 14 garments and was greeted with an outstanding amount of appreciation. Pick up was an even better experience. Will definitely be back.

Response from the owner · 4 weeks ago

Justin, we’re so glad our service brought back that "good old days" feeling and that you felt genuinely appreciated. Knowing pickup exceeded your expectations really brightens our day. We look forward to caring for your garments again soon.
