Mario’s Tailor Shop

There are very few places to go these days for custom suits, tuxedo’s and alterations — especially ones that are not expensive corporate stores. Mario delivers an old school charm and ability to do just about everything.
Mario is an Italian immigrant who spent many years in this industry including working at West Point and fitting/​altering cadet uniforms. I’ve trusted him enough to fit me for my wedding tuxedo, and subsequent visits have had him alter other clothes, customize a suit, and order tuxedo’s for other events. Compared to renting tuxedo’s form «Men’s Warehouse,» Mario is much more trustworthy in his approach to measuring and making sure everything fits when it arrives. His prices are also fair and everything is received promptly
He essentially runs the business in his house (separate side entrance) off of Titusville road. If you blink you may miss it, so look for the sign on his front yard (took a picture of it when I stopped by today). If you’re looking for something to be made custom for you, a tux for a wedding/​prom/​event, or need some clothes adjusted, he is exceptional at what he does and I highly recommend you see him

I brought my new Army Service Uniform («dress blues») in to Mario to get alterations on a relatively short deadline — 2 weeks latest, I asked for 1 week — and though he ended up taking two days longer than I asked (short deadline in the middle of prom season — my fault), the work done was of high quality and doing business here was a pleasure.
I’ve never been to a tailor before so I got lucky picking Mario because it turns out he actually used to work at West Point and is used to tailoring military uniforms. Pricing seemed reasonable but I don’t actually know for sure comparably — it was $ 62 total for 5 different alterations. For example, tailoring the sleeve length of my jacket cost $ 19 if you want to compare other businesses.
Just so you know, Mario’s is a small business run out of a dedicated tailor shop attachment to his house and there is a small sign in the lawn that is somewhat easy to miss. The friendliness and courtesy of Mario and his wife are what you’d expect from a local family business like this. Note that credit cards are not accepted though! Cash or check only.
