No matter how much you spend on an off-the-rack suit, it will never look its best until a skilled tailor makes the necessary adjustments. Fortunately for New Yorkers, 6 Avenue Tailor in Midtown Manhattan has more than 30 years of experience providing suit alterations, wedding dress alterations, tailored clothing, and leather repair. They will alter your suit to make it look like it was custom-made for your body.

If you’ve never received suit alterations before, here’s where you should start:

• Jacket Sleeves: Nothing looks sloppier than baggy, droopy jacket sleeves. 6 Avenue Tailor’s suit alterations include adjustments on jacket sleeves that create a sophisticated, slim fit while maximizing comfort.
• Jacket Fit: The length and shoulders of your jacket should also be adjusted during suit alterations. 6 Avenue Tailor will shorten the length of your jacket to hit at just the right spot. The tailor will also take the jacket in from the shoulder and ensure your shoulder pads end in a natural place. 
• Pant Legs: Your personal taste plays a big role in suit alterations for pants. 6 Avenue Tailor will consult with you to determine whether or not you want cuffed pants, full or half breaks, and slim plant legs.
• Pant Waist: Finally, basic suit alterations always include an adjustment on the waist. The tailor will take in or let out the waist to ensure that you’re comfortable when standing, walking, and sitting.

6 Avenue Tailor is on a mission to help New Yorkers look their best. To book an appointment with the tailor, call (212) 593-1925, or visit the website.
