Wagner Tailoring

I have been going to them for years. Such a huge difference from all the others I had been to before. Everything that I have had done looks as if it was bought that way.

Amazing service, amazing tailoring… After trying several tailors in NYC, I recently discovered Wagner’s and am so happy to have finally found the best tailor. Prices are also reasonable, and the owner is wonderful and truly cares about his clients — could not recommend this place more.

Worst tailoring work ever!!! Didn’t clean up the residuals and stitches are not in line. They made my pants 10x worse looking than before. Most importantly, they don’t care. I have asked them to redo once but still got disappointed.
I don’t understand how come all these good reviews? They pay a bunch of fake people for reviewing?

They lengthened a pair of suit pants for me. Lovely work in a reasonable amount of time. Price was appropriate for the area.

After losing over 30 lbs. and no longer able to fit into any of my suits that I’m required to wear in court, I needed a tailor who is not only skilled but reasonably priced. I had about 15 suits that were falling down every time I stood up and I’m way too old to be walking down the street showing my boxers. I found Wagner on Unilocal and started with the first suit to see how it worked out for me. His prices are more than reasonable although cash only but that was not a problem.
So now, after all 15 suits, 2 or 3 newly purchased one’s a few coats, some tailoring for my 17 yr old daughter and too many pairs of pants and jeans to remember, I can highly recommend Wagner. In fact, I have taken clothes to him and needed his opinion about whether tailoring would be an option and he gives and honest opinion of it would not work for the items. He’ll redo or correct his work if something is not right and in my experience that is rare.

I’ve altered about 5 or 6 suits here… they are great. My girlfriend did a few dresses and bridesmaid dresses as well. Also fantastic. Overall my go to place, and it was recommended by the Brooks Brothers as well.

I had no idea a great tailor with great pricing was just down the block on the 4^th floor! They’re fast, experienced and beat by far anyone in the area on price. Highly reccommend.

Fantastic place — friendly and affordable — the work is great and I brought several high end jackets and other pieces following significant weight loss — the resizing was perfect and the attention to details made me feel «safe». Also the opening hours are very convenient.

Cheap ($ 10 for pant hem) but sloppy job hemming slightly tapered dress pants.
They made cuts/​slits in the inside hem (fabric above the foldline) fabric to spread the cuff to complete the hem (because tapered end folded back in has a smaller circumference then the upper part of the pant) as opposed to stitching from the foldline out diagonally to the serged area. Rookie mistake or lazy shortcut. Regardless, there shouldn’t be mistakes for a very basic hem job.
In retrospect I’d rather pay a few more bucks to get it done right at another place.

These guys are great! They have done great work for me in the past and I recommend them to anyone. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and will work hard to finish the job. I’m glad to see them land safely in this location and I look forward to bringing them more business. They have done countless alterations for me including pants, suits, sports jackets, and blazers. All of their work came out beautiful! If you don’t know what you want they will gladly work with you!

So impressed with the work they did here. After reading a bunch of Unilocal reviews on this place, I decided to take my prized leather jacket for some sleeve alterations. The jacket has zippers all the way from the wrist to the elbows so I was worried that getting it tailored would ruin the original look but the sleeves were far too long.
When I went back to pick up my jacket, it was not only a perfect fit but the jacket looked like it came from the store that way. Absolute perfection.
As for the location, you do have to walk through a touristy looking gift shop to get to this place. It’s like the speak-​easy of tailors, but well worth the hunt to finding this amazing tailor.

Solid tailoring. Prices are reasonable.
I wish the turnaround time was a bit quicker though, hence the 4 stars.

Terrible for taking in dresses. The line /​shape of the dresses are ruined and the seams don’t lie flat. The hem they sewed on one dress started coming out within one hour of wearing it.
I tried them because they are cheaper than my go-​to tailor, but you don’t save any money if you have to pay to have the work re-​done elsewhere.
Cash only.

This shop is great. Very nice staff and the tailor is a pro. Not a bad turnaround time either.

Great pricing, great consistent tailoring. The guy who runs this place is really nice and very professional. One of the best tailors around. Plus his prices are very reasonable.
It’s the same people doing the tailoring and so the quality of service remains consistent. They are also one of the most affordable in the island of Manhattan at this level of quality.

Amazing! I brought a dress in that was ripped to shreds at the bottom and also had a rip going up 8 inches in the front. They charged me only $ 25 (I’ve been charged $ 40+ for hems in NYC and higher for silk/​dresses w layers). When I got it back I was shocked at how new the dress looked! I just brought in a jumpsuit that needed a hem, a ripped faux leather skirt, and a skirt that needs a new zipper and the price quote was only $ 40 total. So thankful that I found this place.

Without a doubt, Mr. Wagner has an amazing talent.
He’s a man of a few words but gets the job done, and at good prices.
This is exactly what NYC needs-​high quality family run establishments like Wagner tailors!
If only they provided dry cleaning services too.

Just as other reviewers have mentioned, you have to enter a different shop (I don’t recall what its called but they sell tourist kind of stuff) to get to Wagner’s, but it is a convenient location nonetheless because its right off an exit from the new Fulton station.
The tailoring is top notch, very affordable and everyone is friendly. I had bought an expensive winter coat online and had mistakenly followed the advice of others to size up. It ended up being far to big and was sold out by the time I received it, and I liked it too much to send it back. I was pretty sure I was going to end up spending almost what I spent on the coat to get it tailored (every part needed to be taken in), but I did some researching for a new tailor and found Wagner, who did it for a very affordable price and impeccably.
Cash only!

Wow, did I find a gem! Like the other reviews have said, it’s hard to find this place, but once you walk in you’ll be glad you did. I needed to get some jeans altered (I’m 4’11″) so pretty much all pants need to be altered for me. They had them done within days, I thought it would be a week at least, but it was literally 3 days. It also cost $ 9, what a fantastic deal!!! The last time I had pants altered it cost $ 25.
This place is no frills, but my pants were great and I was so happy to have them done correctly and quickly! Now I just need more clothes to get altered because I will be going back here.

Ok, I first have to point out that this place is not that easy to find unless you know where you are going. It is like one of those speakeasy places where you have to enter another store to find what you are actually looking for which in my case was someone to tailor my dress.
For people who are using Unilocal to find this place, you have to actually enter the little touristy boutique and walk through it to find Wagner Tailoring. I think I walked passed the store 5 times before I actually realized I had to enter it and walk through it, but I sure am happy that I did.
The staff is very friendly and professional. They are quick with easy alterations, and the pricing is great! I was very happy with the final result. The first time I came back for my dress the length was not what I wanted, but the staff took my feedback very well and the second time around it was exactly what I wanted.
My only comment is that it is hard to find unless you know it is there so it would be beneficial to get a sign on the outside.
Also note that Wagner Tailoring does not accept credit cards, CASH ONLY!
Either way, I will definitely keep taking my business here.
