The Craft

Built by hand, on the premises

Our tailors — together with more than 90 years of combined experience — create a pattern exclusively for each client and take every measurement by hand. Fabric, lining, buttons, and every detail are yours to choose, then cut, sewn, and fitted until it’s right.

We work with the same techniques and craftsmanship used by English and European master tailors for over a century.

“At the time of final delivery, if you are not satisfied with the results, we will refund your deposit in full — we guarantee it.”

From Our Clients

What people say

“Top-notch — tailor does leather! Most tailors don’t have the machinery to alter a nice leather garment… Marcos and company are perfectionists. They fixed up the 20-year-old leather jacket I had from frozen tundra days in Minnesota and updated it so well that people, thinking the jacket is new, ask me where they can get one. Bravo!”

Steven Burns · March 21, 2010

“Best tailor in NYC — Marcos is the man! It fit like a glove — Marcos made the suit look like a suit is supposed to look, fitted and polished. I highly recommend Charlie’s Custom Tailor. Marcos and his staff are efficient, friendly, and professional.”

Dean Perry · May 17, 2011

“The best tailor I found in NY. I am a lawyer and I like to dress very beautiful and also to look professional… I’ve been perfectly satisfied with their work, perfect measure in my alterations, and very understandable and friendly.”

Elaine Field · November 4, 2012

“The service is totally very good and professional. I was treated by Marcos… the care and service is excellent and professional. Thanks to Marcos for being honest and for the work you’ve done for me.”
