Rocky Fashion specializes in bespoke tailoring, offering custom fitting to customers who desire specific sizes and styles.

We like how this personalized approach ensures that each garment is meticulously crafted to the customer’s measurements, resulting in a perfect fit and a unique wardrobe piece.

The company provides a diverse range of African-inspired clothing, catering to various tastes and preferences, so we think they’re perfect for those looking for this exact style!

From traditional blazers and suits to specialized children’s collections, customers have the opportunity to explore a wide array of styles and designs that reflect African culture and heritage.

We like that customers can enjoy a personalized experience by customizing the fit and design of their garments.

Whether it’s adjusting the waistline, sleeve length, or fabric choice, Rocky Fashion offers flexibility in tailoring services to meet individual preferences and requirements.

The tailored fit offered by Rocky Fashion is described as sleek and timeless, featuring shaped waists and clean lines for a stylish look.

We find that this style is ideal for individuals who prefer a smart and sophisticated appearance without the constraints of slimmer fitting suits.

James Personal Tailor & Son has been operating in Manchester since 1976. Over the years, they successfully established themselves as one of the most prominent tailors in the area.

This aspect is echoed by their loyal customers, who have been working with them for generations. One of them shared that they are always on point when it comes to working on any type of garment.

We believe their precision and great results are due to their attention to detail and careful craftsmanship. At James Personal Tailor & Son, the staff will take the time to measure your proportions and assess the type of fit you want for your garment.

Once that process is done, they will follow each measurement down to the smallest details. On top of that, they will also ensure that all of your special requests are followed.

Another thing we like about them is their convenient and accessible location at Cross Street. 

It’s also worth noting that they charge relatively higher compared to other tailors on this list. Still, we think this is justified because of their experience in the industry. 

Although receiving your clothes would take a while, we believe it will be worth the wait. Since the tailors at James are precise in their work, there are rarely any further alterations needed once they are done.

Due to the long turnover time, we suggest you save yourself from trouble by setting an appointment weeks in advance. We highly recommend looking for a different tailor if you need your clothes immediately. 

One of the best things about Alterations Boutique is its location at the Royal Exchange Arcade, which is at the heart of Manchester. Here, you will have no issues finding their shop, whether by private vehicle or public transportation.

Compared to other tailors on this list, they are in the higher price range. However, we believe this is because they promise superior craftsmanship and professionalism in handling garments.

When we spoke to their clients, they mentioned that their rates are truly worth it. According to them, everything was seamless, from measurement-taking to the final fitting.

We also like that it’s easy to set an appointment at Alterations Boutique. Of course, you may call or drop by to get in touch with the staff at the front desk, but what we found outstanding is the automated appointment setter on their website.

Using this feature, all you need to do is choose the service you need, the time and date, and then fill out your contact information. Then, if you need to reschedule, you can conveniently make changes through their website.

Overall, we think Alterations Boutique is an excellent choice for customers willing to pay extra for accessible, high-quality tailoring services.

Stitches is another well-established tailor on this list. Notably, they have three locations across the UK – one of which is located at St. Mary’s Street in Manchester, an accessible area.

They offer a wide range of services, including alternations, repairs, and dry cleaning. If you ask us, this makes them a good candidate for a one-stop garment shop.

Another thing that makes them stand out is their affiliations with designer brands such as DKNY, Beverley Boland, Hugo Boss, and more. We think this aspect ensures that your precious high-end clothing is altered by good hands.

As for clients who need their clothes right away, Stitches can accommodate you. In fact, they even have a “alterations while you wait” policy that enables customers to receive their garments within the day at no extra cost.

Of course, this is subject to the availability of their staff members. But we commend them for trying their best to assist customers in a hurry whenever possible.

Naturally, since they try to provide quick service, there can be issues with the alterations here and there. 

But, don’t worry, as they will be accommodating in resolving them. Still, we suggest you check your garment thoroughly before leaving the store. 

Next on our list is Fast Stitch, which has over 30 years of experience under their belt.  This vast background in the industry allowed them to expand their alterations services from simple garments to more complex materials.

Here, they have expertise working with leather, a complex material to manipulate. In addition, Fast Stitch has specialists that will assess and carefully work on various leather items with superb craftsmanship.

Of course, they also have the usual alteration services for suits, trousers, dresses, skirts, and more. However, what sets them apart is that they can offer high-quality replacement materials for broken zippers, buttons, and hooks.

On top of this, we also like that they live up to their name since they can complete alteration services quickly. According to their customers, Fast Stitch consistently produces top-notch service in only a matter of days.

Another commendable thing about them is their customer service. Upon checking in with their clients, most are happy with each staff member’s professional and accommodating nature.

Unfortunately, others don’t feel the same since they receive a different quote for what seems to be a similar service. 

Since there are reports about inconsistent pricing, it would be best to keep your receipt so that you can show it to them in case of a sudden price increase on your next visit. 

Another tailor with over 30 years of experience is Alteration Master. Here, their customers are pleased with the consistent, high-quality work that allowed the shop to prosper over the years.

They have a wide range of clientele, from private customers to fashion labels. What we like about them is that they will give you the same level of attention whether you place a small or big order. 

Another good thing about Alteration Master is that they can pretty much handle all types of alteration services, including basic resizing to more complicated requests.

They can also deal with various materials, such as leather and suede, which are very tricky to handle. But with their experienced tailors on board, we aren’t really surprised that they can easily manage such garments.

On top of these, they are also popular for their bridal alteration services. Since they are used to handling bulk orders, you can rely on them to take care of the outfit of the entire entourage – just give them enough time to do so.

Unfortunately, we have received complaints where the tailors couldn’t meet the deadline that they provided their clients. So keeping this in mind, we believe it would be best to go for this tailor only when you aren’t in a hurry.
