Bosco & Barraza Tailors

Bosco is one of the best tailors and the most professional tailor I have encountered in NYC. I highly recommend his service. Btw, he is also the best priced in the city.

They do a very great job very professional. Bosco even stayed with me late one night to make sure that I have the perfect fit for my suit. I’ve never been disappointed and I will continue to go to him for expert tailoring.

Very good service. The tailor knows what he’s doing. He’s very good with men’s suit.
The tailor communicated well and you should know what you want too. This place was recommend by the charles tyrwhitt store on 7^th avenue.

I would never come here again.
My boyfriend brought two suits here to get the sleeves shortened. The tailor told us that the options were to take it up from the cuff for $ 20 or from the shoulder for $ 90. Not knowing anything about tailoring, he told the tailor that if he could do it for $ 20, that sounded great.
Upon picking up the suits, we found the sleeves sliced up to a ¾ sleeve level, with the buttons hanging off the end. We brought the jacket back as it was completely unwearable and the tailor admitted that it looked horrible, but said «it’s not my problem». He mentioned that most of the people who get this alternation done hate it, and come back, but he won’t refund them because it’s their fault for asking for it.
Not only did he refuse to cover the cost of ruing two suits (which he admitted to), but he would’t even refund us for the cost we paid him to ruin the suits! This was an incredibly painful experience.

The place looks pretty ghetto, but they got the job done. Paid $ 200 for a more fitted look (side jacket fitting) for my new suit, hemming job (full break), shortening of sleeves (ultra-​traditional), and shortening of suit coat about 1 inch all around.
I tried it on again after everything was finished and my $ 800 suit instantly looks like a $ 2,000 one. Wasn’t so happy about paying for a $ 200 alteration, but to be fair, I asked to get a lot done and have it expedited within 2 – 3 hours so the price was justifiable.
The tailor understood what I wanted and explained the limitations of the alterations.
I would recommend this tailor for Medium Skilled Alterations.

I have had some work done here and overall I was satisfied. The work was done quickly and they never took payment until it was complete to my liking.
I needed to get a tuxedo pair of pants taken in as it was a bit baggy; I dropped off Saturday, went back on Monday but still needed adjustments and went back Tuesday to pick it up due to my schedule.
They are a bit poor when it comes to answering their phones but they are there everyday and by appointment on Sunday or as necessary.
Don’t be frightened when you walk in as there are clothes EVERYWHERE, but they somehow manage to know where things are…
Make sure to bring CASH as that is all they take and make sure to negotiate those prices since that is the case

I usually only feel compelled to review when an experience is exceptional or in this case, exceptionally bad. I went to B & B because I was told that many employees from nearby Saks take their clothing there.
First of all, the business is located in a very shady-​looking apartment. The dressing room door was broken and would not lock. I had to change with the door about a foot open. I probably should’ve taken that as a sign and left.
Anyway, I took a dress there for alteration last week. I needed both straps to be shortened, but the alteration was a bit complicated because one of the straps was gathered at the top. I was told by the seamstress that she would have to take the top of the dress apart to know whether the alteration could be done and that she would call to let me kow. She never called. When I finally reached them to check, she told me that she’d already taken it apart and I could pick up the next day.
Instead of tapering the width of the strap at the top to compensate for having cut away material, the strap was just sewn back together so it became much wider than it was originally. Not only that, but she did not bother to take in the lining, so there’s now a slight bulge in the dress.
To add insult to injury, whatever they used to mark the straps was not the standard-​issue chalk and would not rub out. I have a very obvious white mark on the strap that will not come out. Also, whatever iron they used on the edges of the fabric must have been dirty, because the edges where they re-​created the seam are now grey-​tinged.
In short, don’t go there expecting a real tailoring experience. This place is really disappointing. Probably ok for hemming a pant, but not for fine work. I basically paid them $ 25 to ruin my $ 400 dress.
