On-site tailoring
Fit, repair, and restore — without sending your clothes away
Alterations are part of daily life at Brant Street Cleaners. Whether you need trousers hemmed before a Monday meeting, a dress taken in for an event, or a zip replaced on a jacket you've worn for years, the work is done in our shop by experienced hands.
We perform all types of alterations at our location — hems, waists, sleeves, tapering, patching, and button replacement — using quality thread and replacement hardware where needed.

Tips for a good fit
Bring the shoes you will wear with trousers, or the layers you will wear under a jacket — it makes a real difference to how the hem and shoulders fall. For formal wear, allow extra time before your event; complex work may take a week or more.
We quote before we pin. If a repair is not worth the cost of the garment, we will tell you honestly.
Turnaround
Simple hems are often ready within a few days. Rush service may be available — ask at the counter or call ahead.
