A garment that almost fits is a garment that never gets worn. Manhattan Tailors provides professional alterations in Hong Kong for suits, shirts, trousers, jackets and formalwear — handled by the same master tailors who cut our bespoke garments, not a back-room seamstress. Whether it is a suit bought elsewhere, a favourite jacket that needs updating, or wedding attire that must be perfect, we bring bespoke-level precision to every adjustment.
Suits and jackets: sleeve shortening/lengthening (including working cuffs), taking in or letting out the body, shoulder adjustments, re-lining, lapel reshaping and tapering for a modern silhouette. Trousers: hemming with plain or cuffed finish, waist in/out, seat and thigh tapering, replacing zips and fasteners. Shirts: darting and slimming, sleeve and length adjustment, collar replacement. Formal and occasion wear: tuxedo fitting, wedding suit and gown adjustments on priority timelines.
Hong Kong moves fast and so do we. Simple alterations — trouser hems, sleeve adjustments, waist in/out — are routinely completed same-day or within 24 hours. Complex work such as re-lining or shoulder surgery typically takes 2–4 days. If you are flying out, tell us your schedule; travellers’ deadlines are the foundation this house was built on.
Alteration pricing is quoted before work begins, after a fitting assessment — no surprises at collection. As a guide: trouser hemming from HK$100–HK$200, waist adjustments from HK$150–HK$300, jacket sleeves from HK$250–HK$450 (more with working buttonholes), jacket body shaping from HK$300–HK$600. Garments purchased from Manhattan Tailors include complimentary lifetime alterations — as your measurements change, your wardrobe keeps pace at no charge.
Most alteration counters press a garment to a deadline. A bespoke house alters to a standard: seams are opened and re-sewn rather than shortcut, patterns of the original garment are respected, and the fit is assessed on your body at pickup — the same discipline we apply to a HK$15,000 commission is applied to a HK$150 hem.
