Re: Tailors in NW portland

  • Given what you are having done, I'd just take it to your drycleaner (I use Levine's on SW Burnside, if you're looking for a rec). If it's something more difficult (restructuring a suit jacket or more), I'd take it to Michael Allen's (men's store but he does custom work & tailoring for women) and there's a guy out in Beaverton I used to use, if I can find his card, I'll let you know. He was amazing. I had him do all my suits and everything (including taking out the shoulder pads, which required some major work for things to lay right without them). I haven't had Michael Allen's do anything for me but I have friends that won't go anywhere else and Mike does some spectacular custom work from what I've been told.
  • Also, Nordstrom will tailor things that aren't purchased there.
  • I've always had good luck with Nordstrom's tailoring for jeans--they replace the original hem for a nominal fee, and they can rush the order if need be. I've taken them in at 7pm and picked them up the next day at 10am a few times. Also, they'll replace your jeans if they mess them up in any way (shorten them too much, whatever.) But that's never happened to me.
  • Great - Thanks so much!!!

  • Hey there, I do alterations if you can't find anywhere else to get them done.  I live in NW, but could also fit them on you at your place if that works better for you.
