French American Reweaving Co

A few years ago, they repaired a 1″ L-​shaped tear in front of a really nice Ferragamo suit jacket. Expert work, can’t even see where it was. Great resource to save expensive items. Highly recommend.

This is my second experience at French American and I am a HUGE fan! I’ve brought Ron cashmere from Loro Piana, Brunello Cucinelli, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton and Bergdorf Goodman — he’s performed miracles on every piece. I swear by this place and Ron’s honesty. If he can’t fix something, he’ll tell you.
Sure you have to wait some weeks but the wait is completely worth it– he returns your clothes to you with a thread in a contrasting color running through the repaired section, because if he didn’t, that repair wouldn’t be discernible at all!
The pricing is reasonable and Ron is very knowledgeable about their craft. GO!

I had recently bought a custom made suit from SuitSupply in Soho. Wore the suite once and got a slight .5 inch in diameter tear on the right shoulder of the jacket. I took it to French American Reweaving Co and showed the damage to the owner. He was very honest from the beginning that due to the type of style, material that he was less than 80% certain that it would be perfect and immediately said he didn’t think he could do it. I liked that very much. He only wanted to do it if he could be sure that it was so perfect that you couldn’t tell where it was repaired.
With that understanding i asked him if there was anything he could do just the same and he said he’d take a second look. Spoke to him again and he said he would do his best to get it as close as possible to the original with very very little noticeable reweaving. He said if i was open to less than absolute perfection then he would give it a shot and told me upfront that it would be $ 125 total in cash.
A week later i received a phone call that it was ready. Honestly i couldn’t tell that it was ever torn to begin with. Upon asking him where the work took place he revealed to me where to look and how. It was only upon extreme close inspection could i barely tell where he made the adjustment.
French American Reweaving and Co will now be my defacto tailor for anything and everything!
I would recommend this company to ANYONE that needs their close altered, or fixed.

I’ve had several suits and suit pants repaired at French American over many years (tears, moth holes, etc). Ron is an honest dealer and genuinely nice person. They quality of the work is exceptional and it usually costs between $ 90 – 150 for each job depending on its complexity. One would have to look very closely and know what they are looking for to see where the work was completed. I’d recommend without any reservation. I think the price for the work is very fair given the labor it takes to complete such fine craftsmanship; and its a fraction of the cost of a new suit or new pair of suit pants.

Just adding my voice to everyone else’s. This company should be declared a national treasure — expert, friendly, honest, terrific value, and always a pleasure to visit — even if you get told that the damage is too extensive to be repaired. I’m going in again tomorrow. There’s nothing else out there as good as this.

Professional, quality craftsmanship and consistent. I never write reviews and was just researching dry cleaners in my area. All were mixed. So, I thought I’d check my favorite service provider and leave a positive review for all the years of serving me and saving favorite pieces. Reweaving is a special skill and I am always amazed at the result. Magic.

Great customer service. Went in with some ripped suit pants looking to get them fixed. Ron advised me that the damage was more structural than one-​off due to the placement of the rip. Even though it happened in one event, the pants were tailored in such a way to be causing friction that led to the rip. He suggested if fixed, this would happen again soon and advised me not to invest the money. Of course, I cannot speak to the end product then, but very satisfied with the honest and knowledgeable appraisal.

I had a new Armani suit that somehow got a small hole in it the first time I wore it. I thought it was ruined. I took it in and they did an amazing job repairing it. He said that he could repair it to 80 percent of of its original look, and I have to say that he did much better than that. If you knew where the hole was and looked very closely you can see an irregularity, but it wouldn’t be noticeable if you didn’t search for it. In fact, I couldn’t see it at all when I first looked. I strongly recommend them.

I had about a ½ inch «L» shaped tear in the seat of my suit pants. I dropped it off on a Saturday. They told me they could restore it to 80%. Less than a week later they called and my pants were ready for pick up. See pictures I added of their work. It wasn’t cheap — cost me $ 110, but saved the suit pants and isn’t noticeable unless you look really close. Great work.

They can fix anything, and it looks perfect every time. I worry about the day Ron will retire… but until then am so thankful he is around to work his magic!

These are great people who ply a dying trade at a level that transcends competence (or even excellence) and approaches high art. By way of background, I’m an obsessive nutjob; I find fault with nearly everything, and I can’t sleep if there’s something wrong with my clothes. So for people like me, French-​American is the only option. They’re miracle-​workers. Moreover, the proprietor, Ron Moore, is unfailingly honest. He’ll tell you what to expect, and he’ll meet or exceed that standard every time.

Ron is pleasant, professional, and extremely talented at his work. He will not accept a job without inspecting the garment in person with you and giving you a very forthcoming assessment of what can and can’t be done and what you can expect the outcome to look like.
Great, honest guy. It is a pleasure to be a customer of businesses like this.

Excellent work, very friendly, honest (he advised against doing some work), professional and quick work. Had a suit that was about to be tossed… very reasonable charge ($ 125) for the repair job.
It’s hard to find reweaves these days, worth trying, even if they’re out of town.
Highly recommended

BEWARE EXPENSIVE CHAOS!
I was forced to pay twice for one repair. The shop is strewn with random piles of clothes and papers and is apparently run by memory. I paid cash (only payment accepted, so no record) when I dropped off my pants amid much friendly banter. Distracted, I didn’t notice that my ticket wasn’t marked «paid». When I went to pick them up, I was told I hadn’t paid. When I remonstrated that I had, the proprietor immediately turned ugly and insisted that I was trying to «pull a fast one». He said he had records, but rather than showing them to me could only wave at a random haystack of paper and ask me to be assured that «I never make a mistake». The work was good, but the episode was expensive and, apart from the extra $ 110 it cost me, the accusation left a very bad taste in my mouth.

They are great — my husband had two cashmere sweaters with multiple moth holes in them, and a local tailor was not able to do much other than kind of sew the holes shut. We sent them instead to the French American Reweaving Co and couldn’t be more pleased. It’s impossible to tell where the holes used to be and their work is perfect. Not cheap, but certainly cheaper than replacing the sweaters!

My god, this place does ASTONISHING work. I found a couple of moth holes in my favorite sweater. After I got finished weeping, I found this place here on Unilocal.When I took it in (or rather, had my husband take it), Ron found a couple more moth holes that I hadn’t noticed in the back of the sweater. (I’m glad I wasn’t there or they might have had to call the EMTs for me.)
After making a determination about whether he could do the job properly, Ron called and quoted me a price, to which I agreed. I picked up the sweater a week or so later and almost fainted: I could not see the holes AT ALL anymore. I started weeping again, this time with gratitude.
I love this place. I hope I don’t find any more holes in my nice sweaters, but if I do, I’ll bring them here with no hesitation at all.

Ronnie is a great guy and knows what he’s doing. He’s a perfectionist.

I was very sad to find a small hole in my favorite 60’s vintage sweater after picking it up from clean and store (ugh!). I wondered if it could be repaired and I remembered the time I visited a reweaving place when I was on vacation in Memphis Tennessee…
I googled «reweaving NY» and found the French American Re-​Weaving company and was happy that they were located near my office. I visited during my lunch hour and met Ron who is super friendly and knowledgeable, He said that it wouldn’t be perfect but they could repair the sweater.
The sweater was ready in a week and can’t tell that a hole had been there. It is not cheap and they don’t accept credit cards (Ron let me know they don’t accept credit cards right away and even reminded me) but you get what you pay for and that’s fine with me. I highly recommend The French American Re-​weaving Company for anyone who needs their woolens repaired.

If Hermes’ stores from around the world send their goods to French American to be repaired, then you know this is as good as it gets. Ron is delightful and lovely. Wish I could give them more stars!

If you are looking for perfect French style hand re-​weaving and restoration of a damaged garment look no further! The French-​American Re-​weaving Company skillfully, almost magically mends holes and tears right into the fabric.
I had a nasty 1″ x 1″ corner tear in a winter weight Loro Piana jacket and it came back looking as good as new which is impressive considering the wool’s nap. Best of all the service is friendly, efficient and affordable.
