Great alteration tailors in London - Pinnas and Needles

[Odradek]

I'd be interested in any news of Pinnas and Needles, but am also looking for other recommendations for alterations tailors, both in London, and out west of London. I only get into London every 2 months or so.

Anyone have good things to say about Ramon Tailoring on Savile Row? Seems one of the few alterations tailors with a website and a price list.

I took a summer blazer there for some adjustment and they basically took the jacket completely apart and put it back according to the measurements they took. It looks fantastic (like the jacket was made to measure) and the quality of the work is outstanding. I paid 80 pounds for all the work done (front and back taken in, tapered to the body...) and I have been using them ever since. Warmly recommend!

Thanks for the recommendations. I have been using Sew and Go for minor alterations i.e. hemming trousers, and taking in my CT suit. When I buy a sports coat and require any alterations, it will be good to know a few places in Central London that have been recommended.

You can check also UK Tailors which have a price list in the website also and are based in Central London.

I have used Pinnas and Needles several times, and wouldn't think of using anyone else. They have done simple things such as shortening trousers, and also more complex work such as tapering trousers, and shortening a rather delicate vicuna jacket. Everything has been done very well. As well as being professional, they are lovely chaps, and really look after customers. I would highly recommend them.

what's their pricing point?

Big thumbs up from me - just had some jackets back from them, and they were great...a couple that were not straight forward - went to pick them up and they werent happy with how they hung so wouldnt let me take them away. Went back the next time and they were perfect. Nice bunch of guys.

That's good to know as they are competitively priced too.

I have a Sartorio suit that that needs working cuffs, pants hemming and taking in seat, crotch and waist.
I use a local alterations tailor who is fantastic at taking up/cuffing trousers, which is usually all I need, and his work is absolutely top notch - I recently bought a suit in Corneliani Bond St. I don't know who they use for their alterations but the hemming of the pants was far inferior work - he also only charges £7.50 for normal and £10.00 for cuff.
However, I would not entrust major work like above.

I will use either Pinnas & Needles or Ramon.

Thank you all for the information!!
However I have my own tailor coming to see me every time I need a fitting. I don´t need to even call him, just filling out a form on their website and that´s it and,this is the best part, they dropped off my suits and my wife´s dresses on time. I believe they provide this service in all areas in London. The tailor is really passionate and he has never let us down. I think his name is Nacio or something like that.
Once I altered 3 suit. I had lost some weight and I thought in getting rid of them as they were 2 or 3 sizes bigger. I could say now these suits are some of my favourites in my wardrobe. I had 2 fittings, the first one he came with the jackets without the sleeves and on the second fitting he turned up with the 3 suits completed as if they were bespoke made.

I´m fully recommend it : http://www.alterationstailorlondon.co.uk
They have this funny video that explain very well all the process:

I too can recommend Ramon Tailoring. They adjusted my two suits after my success in shedding 10kg off my weight. The suits look better now on me than when I bought them.

I was planning to use Pinnas and Needles to alter a suit and taper some flannel trousers, but I cannot get to them by 18:00 in the week. Sadly closed on Saturdays.

I'll try Ramon Tailoring (now trading as Hildago Brothers) and provide a review.

I've always used Pinnas & Needles, but yes, the fact that they don't open on weekends is a pain.

Wish there was a good alterations tailor out here, west of London, to save me making trips into the city.

I have used Pinnas & Needles before, and they've done a good job, but I never leave the office before 6PM. Any good alterations tailors that are open on weekends?

There's a good place on New Kings Road, Fulham called Golden Stitches. Owners are husband and wife.

I took a vintage 1960 (very thick) corduroy jacket there to be taken in at the waist. They did an excellent job and also adjusted the back vent.

When I was looking for alterations tailor open on weekends found H. M. TTailoring.

They altered four jackets for me:
2 from sleeves
1 from shoulders
On a casual jacket shorten sleeve end & re-attach cuff.

They are also available on sundays but appointment only. However; I have not used them since 2008.


Recently I did give Cad & Dandy some alteration work when getting trousers made.
Jacket altered from shoulders and coat from sleeve end.
