What alterations are possible?Updated a day ago

While our men’s pants all need the hem altered, we always hope that is the only alteration needed. For any major fit issues on in-stock items, we’d rather process a free exchange for you to avoid having to spend extra money on tailoring. If you purchased a sale or made-to-order item are aren't able to process a return or exchange we're happy to chat through possible alterations and solutions with you. Just contact us at [email protected] or 773-303-6006 or book a virtual appointment. 


We recommend only making minor adjustments. For a jacket, this can include taking the jacket in at the waist or lengthening the sleeves (up to ¾ of an inch max). For the pants, the waist can be taken in, the bottom can be hemmed, and the legs can be slimmed. 


We are not currently offering alterations services at our locations. We recommend taking your items to a tailor or dry cleaner near you.

Pro Tip: when you take your pants in to be hemmed, also take the shoes that you will be wearing with your suit to ensure the best length.
