Vinnie The Tailor

Vinnie is the best of the best. He’s incredibly honest and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

My father went to Vinnie when I was a kid and I have been going to Vinnie for years I’m very meticulous with my suits, jeans and pants I bring to Vinnie. Always done right the first time. Last I went to his shop, there was a sign on the door saying he was gone for health reasons. I hope he is OK and comes back soon. Vinnie does «Do it Right».

I’ve been going to Vinnie for years and he is the absolute best! I would trust him with anything. I’ve brought him so many bridesmaid dresses that were way too big for me and he always does a PHEONOMINAL job! I don’t even need to tell him what needs to be done — he knows what will look the best! Not only that, but he is such a pleasure to work with and he always has everything done when he says he will. I will never go to another tailor!

Vinnie is an honest guy, and treated me very fairly when I went in to have a two piece suit tailored. When I asked him if he thought my jacket was too long and had to be shortened, he straightforwardly told me that he thought it looked fine on me. I would expect your average tailor to encourage you to get extra work done in order to make more money. Vinnie isn’t your average tailor.
I had the pants hemmed and jacket brought in around the waist for $ 50 ($ 15 for the pants and $ 35 for the jacket, cash or check only). The end product fit perfectly.
I will be going to Vinnie until he decides to retire!

I’ve brought many suits to Vinnie the Tailor. He knows exactly what he’s doing and will offer an unbiased opinion on the alterations needed.

Vinnie is the best. I am on the petite side when it comes to clothing and finding business suits that fit me is nearly impossible. This means that i have to get everything tailored. Vinnie and his team are amazing not only do they do a wonderful job with taking in pants and jackets but i have even taken a few dresses there that didn’t fit right. They were fixed perfectly! The best part about Vinnie — my boss ripped a giant whole in his suit pants one afternoon before a client meeting. I sent him to Vinnie to get the pants fixed. Not only did Vinnie and/​or his team fix them in about 20min but he didn’t charge for it. My boss now also takes his tailoring to here as well! I highly recommend this place! FYI cash or check only!

If I could give Vinnie the Tailor more stars than five, I would have. I have been going to him for the last seven years and send all my friends and co-​workers there. Vinnie’s service is impeccable. He always provides an honest opinion, and considering the quality of his work, his prices are more than reasonable. Today I sent my husband with brand new two suits to get Vinnie’s opinion on the fit and get the necessary alterations done. My husband was very concerned, thinking that no tailor will ever tell him that the suits looked good, even if they did, simply to get business. Vinnie looked at them and happily stated that they looked perfect. Think about that — a tailor who sends away a customer because he is honest! I also would like to say that I have had quite elaborate work done on designer suits, dresses, leather jackets and evening gowns and always walked out happy. I would like to thank him here, but do not think he cares much about Unilocal and ever looks at his reviews.

I found him to be petty and void of any sense of customer service.
He has a relationship with a clothier — someone who sends him a lot of business. There was an error on the clothier’s part resulting in work that had to be done again. (He also tried to suggest the error was from a dry cleaner which was just plain silly.) He made me pay $ 20 to redo the work I had already paid for but was that done wrong and told me it was up to me to get reimbursed from clothier. To keep a wronged customer happy, I would have thought he could work out a measly $ 20 with the clothier, again someone with whom he seems to have a profitable partnership. I had brought a suit to have altered but given is attitude I’m never giving him any business.

Went to pick up three pairs of slacks to be hemmed and he stated that it would be $ 12… picked them up and he charged a lot more and when I informed him the price difference he said I was crazy. He argued with me and told me to leave and not come back. I will plan on that!
It’s cash only and he makes up the prices as he wants.

I brought Vinnie 3 pairs of wool trousers to be hemmed, and when I got them back, one was hemmed properly and the other two had gaps in the stitching of the hem, and what stitching there was, was loose. So I brought them back and showed him. He said nothing, took the pants from me and told me to pick them up on Friday. It was Monday. Five days to stitch two hems, after he botched the first try? No apology, or any acknowledgement of the mistake.
I picked up the pants on Friday and had them dry cleaned. The next week, I’m wearing one of those pairs, and notice the hem to again have gaps and loose stitching to the point where I wonder if he even touched them at all. I couldn’t believe it. I brought them back, less pleased this time. He repaired the hem while I waited, to his credit, without my asking. Still though, no apology of any sort. In fact, when finished, he handed me the pants without a word. In my experience, his work is sub-​standard. How challenging is a hem?
Some people have had better experiences, but mine was terrible. I will never return and admonish everyone to think twice before giving this guy your business. You may regret, as I do.

I like to wait ’til the last minute. In this case, waiting ’til the last minute has garnered me one leftover size Huge bridesmaids dress and two weeks to have it reconstructed into a size Laura. **FEELING MILDLY UNCOMFORTABLE**
So, I hit the pavement and try to find someone who will make it work in a way that pleases both Tim Gunn and the bride. Moving in concentric circles out from my apartment, I hit all the Unilocal-​reviewed tailors this side of the financial. The first five places I try won’t even look at the dress because it’s «too much.» I don’t even know what that means. Too much fabric to remove? Too much navy taffeta? Too much exposure to my anxiety-​riddled face? **GETTING SWEATY/​UNCOMFORTABLE**
The next two places I try say they can do it! But not in two weeks. **FULL BLOWN PANIC ATTACK**
At this point I’ve made it all the way to Washington Street, so I decided to drown my sorrows in a passion tea lemonade at Starby’s* and consult the Unilocal*app on my Verizon* B-​Berry* for any last-​minute ideas. [Please send all ad dolla$$ to LK, Inc].
I see Vinnie the Tailor on Milk Street and I figure if I’ve come this far, I might as well check him out. Yes, I am aware that this line of thought may very well have had me walking to JP by the end of the day. Shutit.
While he wasn’t easy to find (his shop is one small suite of a larger complex), he was definitely worth the hunt. Vinnie was not scared by my giant dress or my 14-​day timeframe. In fact, he laughed at my «too much» plight and, with a wink and a smile, promised me my dress in just NINE days. I was in and out in under 10 minutes. Thank (God/Bride)zilla. My family will not be disowning me in 2K10.

Vinnie fixed the zipper on my girlfriend’s favorite pants for $ 6. Great tailor.

I should have had more faith. Even though I couldn’t pick-​up the blazer that was supposed to be ready on Monday thanks to Vinnie’s being closed, Vinnie’s was open on Tuesday and I picked it up along with the items due on Tuesday anyway.
As usual, the work was EXCELLENT. I’m particularly pleased with the way he took my jackets in – the lines look fantastic. In short, I’ll be back, «VACATION ONE WEEK» be damned. He just does awesome work.

Vinnie did a great job hemming all 4 of my blue jeans. I needed to take off about 2 – 3 inches on each. He charges $ 12 per pair and they were able for pick up 3 days later. He was very polite and considerate. He showed me what he thought but said that if I preferred it a little baggy he’ll do whatever I wanted, so I had him add a little more length cause of the way I like it.
His location is a little hard to find, his store front is actually inside an office building and up some stairs.

I love Vinnie the Tailor! And I love calling him that. He’s like one of those people who you always call by their first and last name. He’s NOT Vinnie… He’s Vinnie the Tailor!
He does a great job. I’ve had some pants hemmed here at $ 10 a pop. Nothing too complicated but he does a great job and is quick about it. My friend is seriously here every freakin day getting something tailored, hemmed, adjusted and he makes her infinitely happy.
It’s pretty much just him and his one sidekick in this teensy little place. He’ll tell you if he thinks your dress is fabulous, and he will also tell you if it’s fugly. Hey, at least he’s honest.
