Coat Alterations

About

A nice coat is an investment in fashion and comfort that will last a few seasons. And yet a beautiful coat might not fit, with the shoulders, sleeves, and waist out. We make your coat feel a custom-made one by our coat alteration service so that at the same time it looks elegant but fits just as well.

Fitting a coat is extremely complicated. It must know the type of structure, lining, and thick fabric on the coat. That can be done by our trained tailors who will retain the original appearance of the coat but make it seem more comfortable and attractive. We begin with a complete conversation, in which you put on the coat we are going to, and discuss what you desire. We provide you with genuine, professional tips, in order to make your amendments; which will enhance the fit and the natural shape of the coat.

We offer a complete range of alteration services:

-Sleeve Length/ Width: The length/ width of sleeves: we sew the cuff or shoulder to the correct length, and make the lining fit so that it does not show. We have the ability to tailor the sleeves that are way too wide to make them appear smoother too.

-Body Contouring: We bring the seams on the sides of both the outer shell and the inner lining in to eliminate a boxy appearance and provide more of a streamlined look to your torso, but still allow you to wear additional layers.

-Shoulder Adjustment: Some coats allow adjustment on the width of shoulders to adjust a loose-fitting or tight-fitting. We never do it again without first glancing the coat.

-Hem Shortening: We shortened the coat, preserving the finish of the hem, and this bears testament to our good work.

The fine handiwork reflects in the detail. We deal with numerous materials such as cashmere, wool and technical fabrics and make strong threads and special pressing to result in long-lasting outcomes. Each variation is accompanied by the same one on the inner part and thus the interior is smooth and moves with the external connexion. The outcome is not only an improved fit, but an improved appearance and feel. You will be able to go outside knowing the coat fits you perfectly, you can move with it, and you can know how effective expert tailoring can be and it will be worth years of your investment.

Here are some of the most common questions we receive about clothing alterations:

FAQ

Average time: Most custom dresses require 1-2 weeks; the time of a bridal gown can vary based on the level of difficulty and alterations. We will provide a definite schedule during your consultation.

Yes - we are bridal dress specialists, and those kinds of elaborate alterations, such as installing bustles and structural modifications.

Absolutely. We will be able to use your cloth or assist in finding the high-quality ones with reliable suppliers.

The prices will be different depending on complexity and materials. After a first session of consultation and measurement, we present itemised quotes.

Tailoring is an entirely custom practise. An exclusive paper is hand-written, depending on your actual measurements and posture, and can be personalised in any manner with respect to style, cloth, and fit. Made-to-measure is a tailoring of a standard base pattern to your measurements, which does not give as much flexibility in silhouette as ready-to-wear, but provides a more customised fit.

In case of a new custom clothing, we tend to plan 2-4 fittings to make a gradual improvement of the fitting. With normal changes, a single fitting may be enough to hold the changes, then a last attempt of trying on to be certain of the changes being perfect.

It is easy to take clothes in, but it is only possible to take a garment out when there is enough excess cloth in the seams. In your consultation, we will consider the seam allowances and give you a fair judgment.

Absolutely. Our master tailors and seamstresses spend all their life working with a great variety of materials, both delicate silk chiffon and lace, and heavyweight leather and fur. We employ special methods and equipment that are used to produce the perfect outcome without destroying the fabric.

Depending on the complexity and time taken in performing a particular job, prices are set. A basic hemming service begins at a cheaper rate and more sophisticated restructurings such as acquiring a suit jacket are more complex. Our prices are clear and straightforward, and we do not give any surprises since we do not want to be caught unawares.

Please bring the shoes and under garment you will be wearing with the garment. This is essential in coming out with the right hem level, posture, and general silhouette. In case of suit fittings, take a shirt that you are going to wear.

We provide express services upon request in case of urgent changes. We will never lie on what is possible to do within a tight timeframe and will discuss possible ramification to the cost. Please call us as soon as you can get a slot.

Yes and we offer a complete list of repair services, such as zip-per repair, seam repair, patchwork repair and coat or jacket re-lining that returns the functionality and wearability to the pieces you hold dear.

Yes, we can. Most of our clients include inspiring photos or sketches of their own. These serve as a starting point to a consultation where we talk about how the design can be modified to suit your figure and be made reality with the help of the right fabrics and construction.

Any custom commission or large alteration order will need 50% deposit to start work on the project. The balance balance is payable on finishing fitting and collection. In case of smaller modification work, it is paid at once on completion.

We offer both options. Our selection of high-quality fabric swatches varies widely and we have a range of fabric swatches of famous mills. Alternatively, we welcome you to find your own fabric, and we are glad to advise on its appropriateness to your intended garment.

Every garment is given individual aftercare guidelines when collected. We usually suggest professional dry clean only in cases of need and steamer instead of ironing the clothes to preserve their integrity and shape, especially tailored suits and delicate objects.

We know that schedules are altered. We just require a minimum of 24 hours notice in order to rearrange or cancel a fitting appointment. This will enable us to give the slot to a different client. Bespoke project deposits are not refundable after pattern drafting or cutting of fabric has started.
