Peter Field – Menswear Alterations

I went to Peter Field few weeks ago, as I saw all 5 stars review.
I brought the suit that I just newly bought for alteration, the communication for setting up appointment went well, however few things on the actual alteration:
1. I saw the price list for altering on the sleeve. it is $ 70 on the website but that’s for EACH sleeve. Price is not for both sides. Which I am willing to pay since the suit worth over $ 1,500.
2. 1.5−2.5 weeks timeline for alteration on website, I finally able to get appointment booked after 3 weeks sending in. (which I am okay if it is done nicely)
3. On the day itself, the length of the sleeves were uneven. because measurement was taken on each sleeve (I couldn’t understand my arms have even length, why is it not taken on one side and mirror it on the other sleeve ?)
4. The tailor then trying to debate the problem was the suit where the sleeves wasn’t manufactured correctly and wanted to alter the sleeves rather than taking in through shoulder (as more work is required). Unfortunately, I have product design and engineering background.
I am going in for another fitting today, hopefully it will be fixed (but it means I will have shorter sleeves than I expected unless they lengthen from the sleeves cuff means more fabric from the functional buttons to the edge)
Also, they hem the pants shorter than expected, which I happily accepted. As I wasn’t picky, but then for uneven sleeves which is the biggest disappointment.

I went to Peter Field after I read some reviews about their expert tailoring. I bought a suit that requires some difficult alternations so I was hoping to find a place that had the knowledge/​skills to shorten a suit. I was impressed by the attention and care they paid to my personal fitting. They did a beautiful job shortening the suit and I will definitely be paying them another visit soon.

Nicholas is amazing! From the first time I emailed about setting up an appointment to picking up my items, not only was the service amazing, but so are the results. I would consider myself relatively picky and their attention to detail was more than I could have asked for.
In addition to taking care of the fit of my clothes, Nicholas has helped me figure out what to wear with my clothes (think which shoes /​tops). I assume most women don’t have this problem, but thankfully Nicholas is very gracious about helping!
On that note, I should point out — their website (and I think even here on Unilocal) says they do men’s alterations, but ladies, rest assured, they will do your items as well. I don’t know that they’ll do everything, but they’ve done both pants and tops for me.

This was probably one of the best clothing related experiences I have ever had in NYC. Realizing that is a big statement; however, it was top-​notch from the first email communication to the final pick up of the finished alterations.
I had three casual shirts that were just too big but had plenty of life left in them. The experts at Peter Field took great care in marking the alterations with pins and then solid craftsmanship in sewing to ensure a more fitted look. This was a solid test run and I look forward to returning with more pieces from my wardrobe.

If you are looking for a great tailor look no further. Nicholas is a joy to work with and really knows his craft. He takes the time to listen, makes suggestions and then walks you through every step of the process. I have brought seven suits in over the past couple of months and have been delighted with the results.
They work on scheduled appointments so make sure to call ahead to book.

Nicholas’ attention to detail is matched only by his patience. I took my recently-​purchased suit to Peter Field after receiving a strong recommendation from my girlfriend, who works with Conde Nast. Peter spent forty-​five minutes with me to explain how the cut would affect the fit. I ended up with a perfectly tailored suit and I can’t wait to go back. Thanks for all of your help, Nicholas!

This is a wonderful and unique spot to get your tailoring done! Founder Nick was so professional and friendly from start to finish, and accommodated multiple fittings so that I could be happy with the final product. I needed an Indian outfit tailored for an upcoming wedding on short notice, and was nervous to try a tailor specializing in alterations and menswear tailoring, but Nick proved that he can fix anything that comes his way! He also hooked me up with a badass pocket square. I’d recommend bringing any tailoring to Peter Field — you won’t regret it.

A sophisticated joint, and very professional, intelligent staff. I wouldn’t trust anybody else with a garment!

I had a button emergency with my top coat and could not afford to look dopey for my next meeting. These people are awesome. They completely understood my needs, do not usually do walk in «emergencies» but with a smile and an understanding wink and a nod they took amazing care of me. Learning their history as one of the top tailors in Chicago I heartily welcome them to the big apple. I have been desperate to find a good tailor and I have found them!!! The facility is clean beautifully organized and total confidence inspiring. A luck find indeed!!!

Peter fields is a great place to go for all your tailoring needs. The customer service is great. They cater to all your needs and talk you through each step of the process and really make you feel comfortable with what they are doing and help you to obtain the look and fit you desire.
I would definitely recommend Peter Fields to friends to go and get their tailoring/​alterations done.

Came to these folks needing alterations on a sherwani (formal Indian clothing; kind of a long suit jacket). Needed the jacket and sleeves shortened and was on a tight deadline. Price was reasonable, quality of work was good and Nick was very friendly. Overall a great experience.

Not like your regular hole in the wall tailor. Great space, and Nick is fantastic. They have some cool accessories too. Make sure to call and make an appointment.
Will definitely be using as my go to tailor.

I want to tell you a story, my wife (girlfriend at the time) found me a tailor and custom tie maker in Chicago. We went to their studio in Chicago at the time and met both Nicholas and Ben. I was instantly obsessed with their attention to detail and service. They understood exactly what I was looking for and delivered in a great way. Throughout dozens of trips in Chicago and purchasing my wedding ties from PF I have fallen in love with their personalized service and business model.
Recently I went into their new New York location to get a few quick things handled. They offered the same top notch service and quality, and at the normal reasonable prices (especially for New York). Do yourself a favor and come to Peter Field!

Quick turnaround and great service! Really cool office space and friendly people. Definitely recommend this place!

Peter Field is definitely the place to get your alterations done at. Knowing the tailor who works there, as he has worked for one of my favorite bespoke suit company — Alton Lane; I knew I was in good hands.
One of the founders Nicholas was there to greet me, and not too many companies have the founder there to make sure everything is going well. Very fine establishment, and the price of my repair was by far the best price any one could find!
If you want to make sure your repair gets done right, in a timely manner, and have the ability to schedule flexible appointments, this is the place to go.
Doesn’t hurt to get this type of care, custom service, and attention to detail; without breaking the bank! Will be coming back!

I had a great experience at Peter Field. Nicholas is extremely friendly and truly cares about making sure he understands exactly what you want. He’s very good at communicating and it’s clear he knows his stuff.
I brought a long wool/​cashmere coat with funny seams and they did a great job. It must have been a challenge but the tailors nailed it.
And the prices are completely reasonable.
I would definitely go back for any more tailoring services I need done.

Cool room. The coolest part I got the repair for FREE! Wohoo!
Coolest people ever & very professional! Love. Awaiting on a slight repair on my leather jacket… For a modification I did myself (Children Do Not try this at home!) after unstitching the lining a bit, causing no harm but removing the extra shoulder padding I decided to leave the stitching back up, Up to the professionals. I love my jacket too much to mess it up.
Searched nearby, went Somewhere else first but even though i called first when I arrived to the location they had moved to temp no one was inside. Searched another location and Found this place, very pleased with the repair :)

I’m very type-​A about my clothes and being 6’4 doesn’t help. Love the guys at Peter Field as they know how to hem jeans the way I like them and they have also altered shirts for me. Always a real quick turnaround, very attentive service and they do alterations that make it look like nothing was altered.
I’ve gone back now 4 times to bring in other clothes and each time I received consistent service. This level deserves 5 stars and my ultimate praise!

Professional, timely, and affordable. That’s how I would describe the Peter Field team.
I traveled to NYC for work and had a last minute alteration need, as always. I found Peter Field on Unilocal and quickly gave them a call. I spoke with Nick who was thorough and flexible. He walked me thru the process of my alteration and assured me of when the work would be done. Sure enough, I picked up my suit a few days later and it was just as Nick said it would be.
When you’re traveling and you’re not from the area, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and hope that the vendor you choose does good work. I always felt comfortable that Peter Field would do a great work. Plus, their studio in the flatiron district is very unique with an elevator that opens directly to the space! Just like the movies.
Thank you Nick!

My favorite thing about Peter Field is their transparency.
They took the time with me and my precious new suit to explain different fits, fabrics and the alteration process. When I left, I felt that my suit was in good hands and educated for the next time I have to get something altered.
If you’ve ever been to a mechanic, seen them fumble with your car and then hand you a bill – you’ve been frustrated by your lack of knowledge. A silly part of me tinkers with the idea of learning mechanics sarcastically. Mostly when I’m eyeing that bill from the questionable shop.
I didn’t want to feel this way anymore, especially when it came to my new suit.
All my questions were answered and explained with the kind of attention and detail that only someone who really cared about what they were doing could provide.
«But If I tighten the silhouette of my jacket, what will that do to the rest of the garment?»
«How much can pants usually be let out?»
«Is my jacket sleeve landing in the right place?»
More than that, The people at Peter Field showed me around their space, introduced me to their tailors when I walked to their bathroom and made every gesture to make me feel welcome and valued.
And it really worked.
