Middleboro Alterations

Very knowledgeable and experienced tailor. He tailored to pant suits for me and they fit perfectly.

I brought in a sweater to have the zipper replaced. He said it would be a week. I went back the day he said it was to be ready, it was not. He said he would not find the correct color, the swearter is gray. He said he would be able to have it done in another week but it was not. When I called to ask for my sweater back and for him to return the money he said that he would. However, when I got to the shop he would not return my money and had taken the zipper out of the sweater. Needless to say I won’t be back. Go somewhere else.

I brought a coat here to have a zipper replaced. It’s an expensive and warm winter coat that I wasn’t willing to part with just because the zipper broke. He couldn’t match the coat (which is tan) so he said my only options were brown and black. Really? You can’t find me a tan zipper? The $ 40 he charged might have been worth it if he had gone out of his way to match the color of the coat, or if the work was of a better quality. The zipper is not even attached to the coat in places — he said he couldn’t get close enough to the metal buttons on his machine, and he didn’t bother to hand stitch it. I could very easily rip the whole zipper off the coat. It certainly won’t hold up the first time I have to go out and shovel. Not happy with this guy at all.

Kostas at Middleboro Alterations altered my wedding dress, my brothers suit and my moms dress. He was professional and finished the work quickly. He is very clearly a pro at what he does and has great attention to detail. When it came to my wedding dress he listened to what i wanted and offered his professional opinion at all of the right times. I will certainly be going back in the future!

Had a sleeping bag with a broken zipper and brought it in for a replacement zipper. The owner said he could replace the zipper with a different type of zipper, which was fine with me. The bag was ready for pickup in 5 days. I did not ask what the charge would be before leaving the bag for repair, as I assumed it would be somewhere in the $ 20-​$ 25 range (but then, what the heck do I know about such things). The charge was $ 65. Ouch. I probably could have bought a new sleeping bag for that price. Lesson learned. Always ask the price before dropping an item off for service.
