European Alterations & Tailoring

Michael and Co are amazing. Michael greets customers with a handshake and a warm smile. Very friendly, courteous, and professional.
Had a suit altered here and man, the suit fits like a glove now. Did a great job taking some in, slimming the sleeves, and tapering pant legs. Super fast turn around as well.
Highly recommend bringing your alterations here. Thanks Michael, I’ll see you soon for any of my other alternation needs!

Michael and his team are awesome. Any new slacks or suits I pick up are immediately brought here. They are fast and always make sure the alterations are done correctly. I very impressed and will drive from midtown to only come here.

I’ve had a few things tailored here and have been quite pleased with the results. Having tried a handful of tailors in Sacramento (and other cities I’ve lived in over the years), Michael has thus far been the best. His prices are on the lower end, too! Most recently I had him do a number of alterations on a 3-​piece suit — he modified the shoulders and back of the jacket to accommodate some injury-​related asymmetry, took the jacket, shirt, and vest in at the waist and through the torso, shortened the jacket sleeves a smidge, and took the butt/​thighs out on the pants. All together, this cost somewhere around $ 130; I’ve uploaded some pictures of the results. I will certainly continue to use Michael for my tailoring needs and encourage others to do the same!

Michael the owner was really nice and able to accommodate me walking in on the same day. My dress alteration was a bit too high but he did a great job so I felt it was worth the $$$. He also got it to me when I needed it to get done, not when he could (which is a HUGE ++++!!!) I recommend this shop!

The owner is very friendly and I was able to have the alteration done on the same day

I dreaded taking my two thirteen year old sons in to have suits altered, their comment as we left «that wasn’t bad at all»! I bought one suit at Nordstrom Rack they were going to charge $ 10 for hemming the pants I bought from them, and double for the second suit that I’d bought elsewhere. European Alterations hemmed three pairs of pants, altered the waist and seat of one of the pairs of pants and added two buttons to a suit jacket for $ 40, and had it done in just a few days. Great experience!

Michael, Michael, Michael. What a great tailor you are! I came in on a Tuesday needing a lot of work for a beautiful Italian suit, and needed ASAP, or at least before that coming Sunday. He transformed the suit and fitted to perfection. Dry cleaning, hemming, waist work, sleeve shortening, tapering in the back, and widening the jack half an inch to close the jacket perfectly, was $ 150.00 Happily paid it.

The guy there was very friendly and gave me a much better price than I got at other tailor shops. I just had to get a zipper replaced and he took care of my repair nice and quick.

Just had my suit tailored by Michael. He did a spectacular job! I look at least 20 pounds skinnier, and it’s the perfect fit and length.
He changed so much about it, the sleeve and pant length, took in the waist, straightened the shoulders, and tightened the back.
I look and feel like a million bucks thanks to Michael. I’ll be taking all my alterations to him, and telling everyone I know how great a job he did.

I took 5 pairs of slacks in for the typical hem and also had the legs tapered down to a sensible size along with 8 dress shirts that no longer fit. The shirts came out fitting just as well as my custom shirts. I highly recommend them!

Took my regular, loose-​fitting suit here to tailor it to a more modern, slim fit. This place carefully listened to what I wanted to do with my suit, pinned and measured the suit on me, then worked their magic the next few days. The suit now looks and fits amazing!!! Had the suit jacket taken in, shortened the length and sleeves and also slimmed the sleeves down. Additionally, had my suit pants hemmed and slimmed down as well. I am truly satisfied with the results and the price I paid for their services. I plan on bringing all my other suits here whenever they require some tailoring!

Michael is a great guy, he has great knowledge of tailoring and alterations, I have had 2 suits that were too large altered for me. No small feat, the suits were at least 2 + sizes too big. What he did made it look like a piece of cake. They turned out great and his prices are very affordable.
I was afraid that good quality work wasn’t going to be in my budget but after meeting him I felt relieved.
Keep in mind he usually takes Mondays off, so call ahead, you won’t be able to get fitted when he’s not around but they stay open for pick ups I believe.
On a second visit I brought two different coats to him to reduce the chest and waist as well as the sleeves. The first was a wool overcoat which came out remarkably well and I’m wearing it daily for the cold weather.
The second is a leather coat which I was quite worried, reading online guides and FAQs a leather coat is really difficult to tailor because leather leaves marks and any errors will be difficult to correct. Once again this came out to a great fit, exactly how I wanted it before I walked out of there.
Trusted hands and great craftsmanship make him a tailor whose going to be saved in my phone book.

I’ve been using the services of European Alterations for about 4 years and every time they do a perfect job. I’ve had them replace a zipper in a leather bomber jacket, you couldn’t tell the difference from the one it came with, hems, invisible, dress fitting — perfect. They deliver when they say they will. I don’t even consider going anywhere else. Easy parking and convenient hours. I think the pricing is also very fair.
