Our services include ready-made mens suits and shirts, ties,

and women. We are able to work with all types of garments,
including wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, skirts, suits,
tuxedos, slacks, jeans, sweaters, jackets, swimwear, and many
more.
European Master Tailor has won the Best of Portland award
for ten consecutive years, from 2011 to 2021.
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.
Tip: We strongly advise that
you bring in the undergarments and shoes that you plan to wear
with formal clothing. This makes quite the difference in the
way we alter 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.
Note: We require full payment
on all alterations at the time the garments are dropped off.

master tailor in the Portland metro area. Big clothing stores
such as Nordstrom and Sax Fifth Avenue routinely call on Silvian
for tough alterations which their experts cannot handle.

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."
