Alterations

We are capable of addressing the full range of alterations for all types of clothes for both men and women. Whether we can succeed on any particular job depends heavily on whether the peculiarities of the garment can accommodate the alteration.

We can perform full reconstructions, taking apart a garment and rebuilding it to fit.

Cost Estimates

To properly estimate a job, we have to examine the garment in person. We cannot offer an estimate on the phone. No appointment is required; you may walk in anytime during open hours.

The following examples are shown to give a rough idea for the price intervals. Price will vary depending on the job.

Store Front

The shop includes a store front stocked with high-quality Italian garments, including suits, trousers, jackets, and ties. We will, of course, alter your purchase to fit.

What customers have said:

"Sylvian is the best tailor in Portland. The guy has skills that few have; he elevates it to an art. Attention to detail. High-quality materials. Pride in craftsmanship. And a great guy, too."

"I just purchased a suit from Silvian. I was a little hesitant but and I couldn't be happier. His work made it look like it was a handmade "custom suit" that cost $1500. Silvian is a great guy too -- friendly and easy going. Excellent craftsmanship."

"Sylvian is THE MASTER tailor of Portland, Oregon. He is a perfectionist and I would not have my clothes altered by anyone else. He spends time and cares about each and every article of clothing that comes into his shop. Not only is he a Master Tailor...he is also a friend and caring individual. Whomever steps into his shop immediately feels like family."

"I had ordered some suits from Joseph Banks and they did a very poor job. I took them to Sylvian to see what he could do. When I arrived to pick up my suits, I was astonished. Night and Day compared to when I first brought them in. A fantastic job!"

"After spending twenty minutes talking to Sylvian, I knew before he even made a stitch, my suits were in good hands. Sylvian completes his work on time (rare for most tailors) and has a sartorial eye for how clothes should fit. Drop by his shop anytime and you'll see him salvaging garments that were previously slaughtered by other tailors. Go see him, you won't be disappointed."
