GOHussey

hands down one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had. I walked in with a silk dress that needed to be hemmed for a wedding on Memorial Day and there was a week to go. I just bought the dress and realized that I needed a tailor to do a quick job and so I went to GOHussey based on the reviews.
GO told me that he would hem the dress for the next afternoon because he was leaving on vacation the next day. And he did — flawlessly and beautifully — and even got it done that evening because I told him that I had work the next day.
This is a guy that has beautiful craft and makes you smile — don’t go looking very far for a tailor!

Fantastic! We took in a suit jacket to be tailored 2 weeks before leaving for our wedding. G.O. had completely rebuilt the jacket in one week and it fit perfectly! We paid a rush fee but expected as much. Super talented and really nice guy. We will definitely be going back! :D

I went to him a couple months ago, and I’ve been meaning to write this review. I just moved to the neighborhood and was in search of a quality tailor.
I brought in a silk Lanvin tuxedo dress that was too big. He was meticulous in his work and really knew how the dress should fit with my body. I was very happy with the results! Can’t wait to bring in more stuff to make them more customized. yay!

Hussey really knows his stuff and is passionate about his work. He has a great attention to detail and integrity, a true artist. I’ve had clothes altered before, but this experience really elevated my expectations. He customized two pairs of pants for me, a shirt, a vest, and fixed a pair of jeans. Excellent service, excellent work, fairly priced. You’d be silly to take your clothes anywhere else.

Truly a gifted tailor. Had a skirt altered and a zipper put in. Looked like it came like that from the store. Incredible workmanship. Best tailor around hands down.

AMAZING WORK! … I came to him 3 weeks before the wedding and he made it happen. He was very efficient and explained everything in detail. He knew what I wanted and explained what would work and what was possible. He is very knowledgeable. Every time I called him he was available. I needed a WHOLE dress taken in ALL OVER. He made me come in for 2 fittings to be sure everything was perfect. I would recommend his services to anyone. Definitely worth the money.

I took in a bridesmaid’s dress that needed to be brought up in the shoulders (I’m short-​waisted) and taken in around the sides. He immediately tried to schedule two fittings with me, which I strongly resisted, because who wants to waste time going back and forth to a tailor? When I picked up the dress, it was so tight around the sides I literally could not breathe because my ribcage couldn’t expand. He somewhat fixed this (he got his two fittings after all) but botched the adjustment at the shoulders so the dress gaps out on the back and he made the armholes far too high — I can barely put my arms down. He offered to enlarge the armholes, for additional cost of course. If you need a simple hem job, I’m sure he’s fine, but for anything more complicated I’d strongly recommend going elsewhere. His prices are not cheap and he didn’t offer any consideration for botching my alteration. Unacceptable.

Hussey, my savior! Words cannot do him justice.

This guy is amazing!!! You seriously get what you paid for. Altered 2 of my husband’s suits and they looked like they were right off the rack at Nordstrom!

I found Hussey on Unilocal and I was desperate to find someone who would fix an intricate ball gown for me.
The finished job is BEAUTIFUL, so professionally done, he keeps his deadlines and is very accommodating, always picks up his phone.
Yes he is not «cheap» but he is not exorbitant, either way I don’t want a cheap job done. You get what you pay for!

Hussey is a seasoned seamstress. I live in Fort Greene but come here because of his track record. I’m an athletic build with uncommon measurements so all my clothing needs alterations. The alterations he has made are so precise and perfect, I refuse to go anywhere else.
He only takes appointments.

Hussey was fantastic. Friendly, thorough, fast, reliable. I brought him a VERY last minute VERY complicated dress, and he was able to make significant alterations in just two days, in time for me to wear the dress to a wedding (I was a bridesmaid, and had really left the alterations to the last minute). Like others have said, he was a tiny bit more expensive than I would have liked, but I will go back to him in a second the next time I need alterations. He did an amazing job. It fit perfectly and looked like it was initially constructed that way. I don’t often write Unilocal reviews, but Hussey did such an amazing job that I had to review him here. I highly highly highly recommend him!

I couldn’t be any happier with GoHussey. I called this morning needing a last minute alteration of a double layered long dress and Hussey was able to make the impossible happen. He went above and beyond to fit the last minute alteration into the schedule and did such a beautiful job. The dress was the perfect length and all of the details were spot on. Will definitely be going back again! Highly recommend.

Mr. Hussey is a top-​notch tailor who makes you feel like an old friend on your first visit. He took a boxy 90s leather jacket I had and completely re-​crafted it into a perfectly fitted masterpiece. If I ask him to make an alteration that he thinks might not be worth it, he does not hesitate to explain, at great length, how the operation would be performed, how much it would cost, and why it might be a questionable value. He is a sartorial surgeon. He has earned my trust and respect, and I will definitely be going back to him for many seasons to come.

Hussey is the man. stopped in on a Friday at 4:30 to get some pants shortened and my guy did the alteration on site! 20mins people and the work is 2^nd to none! This is my new tailor for the quick pair of pants that are too long

Incredibly kind and helpful, and does EXCELLENT work. Goes over the work to be done very carefully upon bringing clothes in. Will be going in to see him for all future tailoring needs!

Hussey is great. Really nice guy. Very detail-​oriented. I’ve had two dresses altered here. One was a lined shift dress that needed the hem raised. That went well. The other dress was a casual jersey dress with an oddly low neck line that I got on sale. Hussey brought up the shoulders and hence the neck line. He did a great job with so odd seams. It did take several return visits to get it right and I spent more than I would have liked but the work was quite good.
Side note: Hussey keeps odd hours and is sometimes in the shop really late. That can be a plus when you’re trying to squeeze in a time to get to the tailor.

I went back because I’d bought a dress at a stoop sale that just wasn’t going to work; I was hoping Hussey could turn it into a skirt for me. He went above and beyond, taking the trim that ran along the top part of the dress and adding it to the top of the skirt to make a beautiful edge. I didn’t think it was possible but he did it!
He is a little more expensive but it’s worth every penny!

Let me begin by saying that I always want to find the best of the best. Best shoe maker, best tailor, best anything. Being the petite woman that I am, I need to have a personal relationship with my tailor. Someone that understands me, my body, and my style. I was very sad and nervous to leave my tailor back in NJ when I moved to Brooklyn. Now that I have found Hussey, I feel totally at peace. He isn’t just a tailor, he is an artist. He designs and makes his own clothes. I have brought in anything from everyday wear to extremely pricey and delicate pieces. He makes me look like a goddess no matter what the article of clothing. You need someone you can trust with your clothing? Don’t look any farther than Hussey.

I happened upon this place one day and decided to give him a try. This was 3 years ago and he has become my go-​to tailor. He can do anything, recut jeans, alter blazers, let out pants, etc.
Hussei is probably the most knowledgable person I’ve ever met on the construction of clothes. He is slightly more expensive than average but with him you get what you pay for. He has excellent attention to detail.
