Button Hole

They took the time to make sure what i wanted/​needed done to a tux alteration. Had it completed the next day, looking as good as it could. A little pricey, but worth it for a quality alteration and timely service. Highly recommend!

Least professional alterations I’ve ever had. Took a jacket that needed arms shortened and just tucked them under and tacked them. Literally something I could do at home. Still cannot believe that a professional alterations place could try to pass this off.
Came back today and they had fixed the jacket and properly done the lining (so they do know how at least). However the buttons are not aligned and looks like a sewing project. Again use these guys at your own peril.

The Button Hole did a great job of repairing my jacket after it was brutalized by a person calling himself The Sewing Dude. The Dude forgot to reattach buttons and returned the jacket to me with a split seam. The Dude demanded full payment for this «work.» There is more to this story, but I’ll leave it alone. This is about the Button Hole, where professional alterations tailors deliver professional results. The jacket looks good as new (as much as a vintage piece from the 60’s can look new) and was ready at the time we agreed upon. They even removed much of the smoke odor SD left as his calling card, saving me a trip to the dry cleaner. Of course I left more work with them and will again. Highly recommended!

I’m beyond picky about fitting. After trying many tailors throughout town, only The Button Hole got it right. They’ve done everything from hemming and tailoring pants and shorts, to tailoring my dress shirts and sport coats/​suits. Prices are great and no one in town can cut open a shirt, tailor it, and seam it back together better than the original shirt maker did. Top notch quality here. And if your in a jam you can pay a little extra for speedier service (only needed the week before derby since they get flooded with suits and dresses around that time).

I’ve brought a few items here over the past several years, and I’ve had mixed results. The first time I went here was a few years ago. I had a zipper replaced in a dress, and I was SO happy with their work and the price. My husband has had pants lengthened — some good, some not so good.
Recently I took in another dress with a broken zipper (I have a thing for clothes on sale that need repair!). The price seemed really high, and it was going to take a month because they were busy — wow! It was a very long zipper, so I’ll give them the price increase. But I really needed the dress soon, so they agreed to do it in a week. I picked up the dress a week later and when I tried it on at home the zipper would not zip back up — it was sewn in too tightly. It didn’t seem like a mistake that someone with a lot of experience would make. I was not happy to have to return it for them to fix it. Also, the dress is white and they left dirty finger prints all over the back around the zipper.
At the same time I brought in a men’s dress shirt with a tear on the front. It is hard to explain how they fixed it, but it made the shirt tighter on my husband’s chest. Basically it doesn’t fit now. I don’t know how to sew, but they way this was «fixed» just doesn’t look right at all.
They owners are very nice and friendly, but I don’t think I’ll be going back. I wonder if they’ve hired inexperienced people?
