Tailoring

The difference between a good outfit and a great one: tailoring. Whether by hand or by sewing machine, mastering the art of bespoke men’s and women’s alterations takes years of experience, a sharp eye, and a relentless dedication to getting a flawless fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tailoring services does Larrimor’s provide?

Our tailoring team handles everything from simple pant hems to detailed suit adjustments. We alter suits, shirts, trousers, outerwear, and even denim for both men and women. Customers who purchase full-price garments from Larrimor’s receive complimentary tailoring as part of our commitment to ensuring that every article of clothing leaves the store fitting exactly as it should.

Is your tailoring done on-site or outsourced?

All tailoring is performed in-house by our skilled master tailors. This allows us to maintain strict quality control, provide faster turnaround times, and ensure the alterations are consistent with the original garment’s craftsmanship. You’ll be working directly with the same team that knows the clothing inside and out.

How long do typical alterations take?

It depends on the scope of the adjustment. A straightforward pant hem or sleeve shortening may be ready in a day or two, while more complex changes like reshaping a jacket can take longer. When you drop off your garment, we’ll give you a clear timeframe so you know exactly when to expect it back.

Can you alter garments that were not purchased from Larrimor’s?

Yes, we welcome outside garments. Whether it’s a suit you’ve owned for years or a new purchase from another retailer, our tailors can evaluate it and adjust the fit to suit your body. We’ll let you know what can and cannot be achieved, depending on the fabric and construction of the piece.

Do you do custom sewing?

While most of our work focuses on alterations and adjustments, our tailors are highly skilled and can sometimes accommodate more advanced requests such as reshaping shoulders, re-cutting jackets, or updating styles. Bring in your garment and we’ll provide honest guidance on what’s possible.
