Frequently asked questions

helpWhat alterations do you offer?

Take-ups and let-downs, taking in or letting out, new zips, new pockets, re-hemming, and full relining of coats and jackets — all by skilled on-site tailors.

helpCan you alter while I wait?

Simple jobs like a quick re-hem can sometimes be done quickly, but most alterations need a short turnaround so we can fit and finish properly. We'll give you a ready-by time.

helpDo you do a fitting?

For take-ups and taking in we'll pin to fit in store so the result is spot on. Bring the shoes you'll wear with trousers for the right length.

helpDo I need to book, or can I walk in?

Both work. Walk in any time we're open, or book a slot online so we're ready for you. If you book, just drop your item (or device) at your chosen time.
