Men's Suit Alterations in Swansea, MA

Even an expensive suit looks off the rack when it does not fit. Sleeves that cover the wrist, trousers that pool at the shoes, or a jacket that pulls across the back all take away from a sharp look. Ruby has twenty years of alterations and tailoring experience and can bring a suit into proportion, whether it is brand new, years old, or handed down from someone else.

Bring the suit along with the dress shoes and shirt you plan to wear. Trouser length and jacket sleeves are checked against what you will actually wear them with, then Ruby pins each adjustment and explains what is possible. You get a quote before any work begins. You can see everything we offer on our alteration services page, or read our suit alteration cost guide for typical price ranges.

A good fit is about proportion. The jacket should sit cleanly across the shoulders, the sleeve should show a little shirt cuff, and the trousers should break softly over the shoe. Ruby looks at the whole silhouette, not only the one problem you came in with, so the finished suit hangs correctly from every angle.

Groomsmen fittings are a big part of what we do, and a groom and his wedding party can be fitted so everyone is ready for the day. Call (774) 322-6843 to coordinate a group, and book as soon as the suits are chosen so there is time for more than one fitting. If the bride needs fitting too, see our bridal alterations.

Suit tailoring is not only for weddings. Interviews, new jobs, funerals, proms, and formal events all call for a suit that fits well. If your size has changed, bring your suits in and Ruby will tell you what can be adjusted, or read about wardrobe resizing after weight loss. Most alterations are completed within one week, and same-week and emergency appointments are available when you are short on time. Our guide to how long suit alterations take explains what to expect. We are open every day from 8:30am to 8pm and serve clients throughout Swansea, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
