WEST VILLAGE TAILORS GEORGE & MINA

George and Mina and their other staff members are incredible. They are so skilled and always accommodating. They went above and beyond with my outfit for my rehearsal dinner, even tweaking it on the morning of the day to make sure it fit me perfectly. Their attention to detail is truly reflected in their work and they are always quicker than needed. Would recommend to everyone in the neighbor and even worth traveling for.

I had such a great experience here. I brought in a dress that required fairly complicated alterations, and they handled it flawlessly. The attention to detail was incredible, and the final result fit perfectly while still preserving the original design.

What really stood out to me was not just the quality of the work, but also how reasonable their pricing was. I had gotten quotes from a few places in the West Village that were literally double the price for the same job, which made this place feel like an absolute gem.

They were professional, efficient, and clearly very skilled. I’ll definitely be coming back for future alterations and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality work without the inflated price tag.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this tailor! They are truly exceptional at what they do. Every time I bring something in, I never have to worry — they know exactly what needs to be done and execute it perfectly. The quality of their work is outstanding, and they get everything done so quickly. I’m always impressed by how fast the turnaround is (it’s usually ready even earlier than expected!).

Beyond their incredible skill, they are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. They’ve truly become like family to me. They always make sure to wait for you to pick up your items and will even call if it’s finished earlier — which it almost always is! That level of care and thoughtfulness is so rare.

If you’re looking for someone talented, reliable, and genuinely wonderful, this is the place to go. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

This review is about George. I truly feel bad for Mina, who is very skilled, but after this experience I will no longer be returning.

I brought in my Moncler jacket because the fur trim on the hood had torn and the stitching in the middle of the jacket had come undone. George confidently said he could fix it and charged $175.

When I went to pick up the jacket, George wasn’t there because it was his day off. But as soon as I saw the finished work, I was extremely disappointed. The stitching was crooked and didn’t look like it was done by a professional, and contrary to what he had originally promised, he stitched through the inside of the pocket. (When I first dropped it off, he had explained that the correct method was to open the inside of the pocket so the stitches wouldn’t show, even though it would be a more complex process.)

As shown in the photos, the fur trim still has several areas that were not properly repaired or even touched. The parts that looked “fixed” were poorly finished and still open, and he had GLUED THE FUR. Because of that, the fur got clumped and damaged by the glue.

I wanted to bring the jacket back and confront George, but it’s clear that he does not have the necessary skill, and even if he tried to undo the work, the jacket fabric already has holes from the stitching. At this point, I don’t trust him to handle a second repair attempt. This is a $3,500+ jacket, and I’m extremely upset and disappointed that it was damaged beyond repair.

I truly hope no one else has to experience what I went through.

George and Mina are incredible tailors who obviously care deeply about their craft and customer satisfaction. I've had two suits tailored here, both requiring shortening the arm at the shoulder and one requiring refitting the waist and every piece they worked on now fits perfectly. They are pricey but very worth it. They even re-pressed my jacket after I tried it on when picking it up.
