Hi all,

I'm looking for a high-quality alterations/tailoring place. I have several pairs of wool dress pants that need to be re-hemmed, and I just want to make sure I go to a place that will do a good job.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

There's this little shack on Lee Hwy across from the Pan Am shopping center, near Nutley St. I think it's called Best Alterations? Anyway, I had some pants hemmed there and they did a fine job, and certainly understood what I was asking them to do.

I'm not promising that they're the highest-quality in the world, because hemming is really simple and they may stink at everything else, I don't know. But their hems were fine for me.

We have some pretty good altercations right here on the C-D NOVA forum!

I use a lot of hemming and sleeve shortening service. For years I've used Royal Valet, in the Ravensworth Shopping Center at Braddock and Port Royal Rds. Am very satisfied with the work.

I second this recommendation. We've been bringing our hemming/alteration work there for close to 9 years.
