Alterations in Tokyo

[Upyu]

Just hoping someone here would know of any reputable tailors in the Tokyo area, or how much they charge for alterations.

I've got a suit that needs to be pulled in a bit, and some other minor changes.

Geesh... MILLIONS of them. Where in Tokyo are you, what is your budget, and how fast do you need them?

Great! I'm in the Mejiro area off of the Yamanote, so pretty much any area along that line would be extra convenient. I don't need the alterations done super fast, and I was thinking of spending 20,000 at most (Sorry I've only ever had a suit made from scratch, so I have no idea how much alterations cost) Thanks so much for the input btw, it's much appreciated!

I recommend Rrozestt in Shiroganedai:

Some other suggestions:

Two options:

1. In the B3F floor of the Mitsukoshi Dept Store in Ginza ( http://www.mitsukoshi.co.jp/store/fc...210/index.html ) there is a "reform" (tailoring) service that does a very decent job. The average turnaround is about one week and I have a friend who has taken several high-end suits for alteration work.

2. In the basement of the Marunouchi Building, there is an alterations shop called ONAOSHI by Concierge ( http://www.big-mama.co.jp/ ) I have not used them but their services seem quite reasonable: http://www.big-mama.co.jp/specialmenu/

Gusvs: Offhand do you know how much they charge for alterations (waist suppression, slight shoulder alteration etc)?

Sorry I don't remember. They are not the cheapest though, but very good. Men's Ex had a special a couple of months ago on alterations, and Rrozestt seemed to be in their top 5 as well.
