Your coat is your first line of defence against the elements and a cornerstone of your outerwear style. At K&K Couture, our coat alterations service ensures this essential garment fits you perfectly and functions flawlessly. Our master tailors in London provide expert overcoat alterations, jacket repairs, and precise resizing to renew your investment, offering warmth, comfort, and confidence season after season.

 

Why Professional Coat Alterations Matter

An ill-fitting coat can undermine even the sharpest outfit. We solve common issues—sleeves that are too long, a boxy silhouette, or a lining in tatters—with precision craftsmanship. Our garment alterations go beyond simple fixes; we restore the structure and intent of your outerwear, whether it’s a classic wool overcoat, a technical parka, or a luxury cashmere blend. The result is a perfect fit that enhances your posture and provides superior comfort.

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

FAQ

Yes. Our master tailors are experienced with a wide variety of fabrics and constructions, including wool overcoats, down jackets, technical parkas, cashmere blends, and leather coats.

The cost depends entirely on the complexity of the work and the materials involved. We provide transparent, itemised quotes after a fitting. For a general guide, you can view our price list.

We offer a full range of services including sleeve shortening/lengthening, taking in or letting out the body, hem adjustments, shoulder alterations, complete lining replacement, and repair of zips, seams, and pockets.

Absolutely. Replacing a worn or damaged lining is one of our most common services. We can install new linings in various materials, such as durable Bemberg (cupro), silk, or warm Thinsulate, to restore the coat's structure and comfort.

This depends on the amount of excess fabric (seam allowance) available inside the seams. During your consultation, we will assess this and advise on the best solution, which may include letting it out or other adjustment options.

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.

Most standard alterations, like sleeve or hem adjustments, can be completed within 1 week. Complex work like full resizing or lining replacement may take 1-2 weeks. We also offer urgent repair services for time-sensitive needs—please contact us to discuss availability and timing. We will provide a firm timeline during your consultation.

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.
