I've been a regular customer of Nick's for about four years now, and I highly recommend him. Since I am petite with a longish torso and shortish limbs, nearly every piece of clothing I buy must be adjusted, and I am very particular about my alterations. I take everything to Nick and am always very satisfied with the results. Count on a two-week turnaround (three weeks just before Christmas) and expect to pay more than you would at the dry cleaner. The price difference is well justified by the quality of the work. He shortens my Target T-shirts and takes in my more expensive jackets and cocktail dresses. He virtually remade a pair of $235 Milly pants that I bought at a sidewalk sale for $23 because the original shape was so bizarre, and now they fit like a dream. I've always been nervous about having jeans altered -- I thought the changes would show and look terrible. One day, after I was through trying on the items I wanted altered, I came out of the dressing room in my jeans, and Nick went for the pins. I explained that no, this was just what I was wearing that day, and he suggested I bring those jeans back to get rid of the weirdness where the back point of the yoke seams stuck out from my body, making it look as if I had a tail in there (my description, not Nick's). The original seams were sewn with two slightly different colors of thread, which he matched perfectly. You can not tell the jeans were touched at all. Don't skimp on tailoring -- go to Nick!
Pros: Craftsmanship, Service, Friendliness, Parking
