The invention of the sewing machine in the 19th century would eventually be quite helpful to tailors in America. But when sewing machine inventor Elias Howe of Massachusetts tried to sell his machine commercially in the 1840s, tailors got together to discourage potential buyers. At that time, tailors saw the machine as direct competition instead of a way to enhance and speed up their work.

Did you know that some jackets have removable linings? When it gets too warm outside, all you have to do is zip or snap it off. That way, you can wear the jacket when it is warm outside without feeling uncomfortably hot. You can do the exact opposite when it gets cold outside too.

When you go to the tailor to have your wedding dress adjusted, it's important that you bring along the same undergarments you'll be wearing on the day of the wedding, as well as your shoes. This way, the tailor can make alterations based on your proportion with these garments.

There are certain clothing issues that a tailor may not be able to help you with. This includes long fabric tears that don’t occur along the seam, holes that are larger than 1.5 inches in circumference, and heavy abrasion damage.

When you have a new corporate job, few things can make you feel more comfortable on your first day than a suit that’s properly tailored to your measurements. Even if you’re used to wearing clothes right off the rack, a suit truly deserves the extra touch a tailor can provide it.

Ever wonder what a thimble is actually used for? This small pitted cup protects their fingers from needles while stitching or sewing. Also, they are used to manipulate the clothes easier.

A good rule of thumb is to invest in higher quality clothing before visiting your tailor. Chances are, your tailor isn't going to be able to perform a miracle on items that weren't well made to begin with, and you might not want to invest more money in a garment that won't last.

We recognize that not everyone is always quite as tall as clothing manufacturers seem to think people are. If you’re tired of wearing slacks to work that are a little taller than you are, we can take care of hemming them to the right length.
