Suit Alterations
With over 15 years’ experience in suit alterations, west tailoring & Alterations have the expertise to alter your suit to perfection. As well as altering suits that don’t fit you, we can re-style them to give them a more contemporary appearance. If you have a suit that hangs off you rather than compliments you, then let our Master Tailors re-cut your suit. The quality of work we provide is unlike any other. We pay close attention to ensure that the end result is a suit that has been tailor made for you. We ensure that every detail from the original suit is retained from the stitch patterns used to the colour of the thread. The result is a perfectly fitting suit without any hint that the suit has been altered. This meticulous attention to detail is what makes us unique.

Trouser Alterations
For trousers that are loose or tight on the waist we can quickly and effectively reduce or increase size by adjusting the centre back seam. After a fitting with our Tailor we can also determine the perfect shape over the seat and raise or let down the fork when necessary. For a closer fit and neater silhouette we taper (narrow) trousers either fully or partly. For a subtle taper we would remove excess fabric from the inside leg seam. For a more drastic change we can reduce the leg width by removing fabric from both the inside and outside leg seams. We shorten trousers by hand or machine so that the stitching is invisible from the outside. We can replace belt loops with more traditional side adjusters by using excess fabric from the hem of the trouser.

When shortening jeans we are able to retain a pre-worn finish by cutting away the original hem and reinstating it at the required length or if your jeans are brand new and you like to have your original hem we can tailor it for you.

Coat / Jacket Alterations
Our Master Tailor has the skills to alter your Coat or Jacket to achieve the perfect fit. To improve the fit of your coat or jacket we can take in the side seams or rear centre seam for a flattering fit. We can also shorten the length of your coat or sleeves ensuring the original stitch pattern, thread colour and any detail are matched perfectly. When shortening the sleeves of a coat we can offer two options. We can shorten from the crown (shoulder) or from the sleeve end. As professional tailors with over 15 years of experience, we would recommend shortening from the crown as the most effective way of achieving a flawless result. Working from the shoulder means that the cuff detail or ‘shams’ are not disturbed and consequently the design and proportions of the coat or jacket are retained as original. We can narrow or ‘chip’ the shoulders of a jacket or coat for a neater fit or add pads to define the silhouette or even out a dropped shoulder. A ripple of excess fabric across the back neck area or ‘Square back neck’ can be removed by simply opening the back neck and shoulder seam, lifting excess fabric and re-stitching as original for a more complimentary fit on the body. If you do not like to have a hat on your coat / jacket we can remove the hat and leave a professionally collar. If your jacket or coat has worn lining we can replace your existing lining with either a close resembling colour or replace with a colour of your choice adding more pockets or detail at your request. Zip replacement or buttons are of course basic alterations that we are happy to perform.

Shirt Alterations
If you do not like the general fit of your shirt there are a number of shirt alterations that are possible. Shirt sleeves can of course be shortened – you just take off the cuff, cut down the sleeve and reattach (this can even be done from the shoulder if you want to retain the length of the placket). But sleeves with double cuffs can also be lengthened slightly. Depending on the brand, there is at least half an inch of inlay, which can be sufficient to give you that crucial exposure of cuff at the end of a jacket’s sleeve. Darts can be added to the body of a shirt, to narrow it at the waist and – depending on the run – alter the hips and a little of the chest. This will remove any excess fabric which can be annoying and unflattering to your figure.
