Recently I purchased a beautiful shirt to wear to a special occasion. I loved the shirt except the the sleeves were too long. It is a silk shirt. I went to several alterations places and they all said nothing could be done to alter the length of sleeves due the intricate design and delicate material. I searched the web looking for options and I am so glad I found Sams Alterations Company. He did an amazing job and my shirt is now perfect. VERY HAPPY !!!! Faye

Approximate cost: $150.

I had a suit in need of altering for a formal, the suit was my father's and when I wore it, it looked as though I was drowning in fabric. Sam is a true magician, a master in his craft. Sam's alteration left my suit fitting me like a glove and making me look superb on the night. Sam and Graciella provided the best customer service one could ask for and were genuinely interested in how I would look and feel on the night, not just the outcome. Sam is more than happy to alter new things at the drop of a hat, cannot recommend him enough to any and all out there in search of Melbourne's best tailor that can do it all, for a very fair price.

Decided to go to Sam's for tailoring after weeks of researching and reading reviews. I needed a suit jacket that was too big on me to be altered - the workmanship was simply outstanding, looks brand new and it fits perfectly!

Really can't thank Sam or Gracie enough, you guys are awesome! Highly recommend their services.

I've come to Sam for all my tailoring, including three jackets (one of them leather). His exceptionally high level of craftsmanship and care is why I keep coming back and why I wouldn't trust anyone else. I recommend him to everyone who needs alterations or tailoring!

Had my Burberry trench coat mammoth tailoring job done quickly, attentively and the price was fair!

Had a suit jacket taken in after a lot of weight loss. Perfect fit. Attentive service. Will get Sam to alter my whole wardrobe.

Approximate cost: $240

After six months of hard work getting into shape, the downside was that my wardrobe no longer fits and great suits started to look very ill fitted.
There started the difficult journey of finding a tailor that I could trust my best suits to.
All I can say is that Sam the Tailor is a true master of his profession, he not only made all he alterations perfectly, he also corrected the original fit of the Jackets & Pants to fit my body type. Absolutely brilliant work, and I am so happy with the results.
When I left my clothing with Sam & Gracie, they told me exactly how much it was going to cost and when it would be ready and they delivered exactly on what they said.
In fact when I tried the pants of two suits on after they had been altered, Sam wasn't 100% happy (even though I was) and insisted on making a final adjustment (no further cost) before I collected.
I only had to introduce myself once when I first went to visit Sam & Gracie, and they remembered my name from then on. I feel absolutely welcome when I go to their store, and confident that my clothing will come out looking perfect.
I have numerous other suits, coats etc that I will be progressively taking for alterations, and look forward to catching up with Sam & Gracie.
I strongly recommend their services.

After extensive search via the internet and reading reviews trying to find a tailor to do clothing alterations in the CBD, I decided to go see Sam in his shop.
Sam is an exceptional tailor I will even go as far and call him an artisan of his craft.
Nothing is too hard for him and he is patient and listens to what you require altered, he also never rushes with you and takes his time so both you and he know what would be the end result from the alterations.
His pricing is more than reasonable, it is like the famous saying “you pay for what you get”.
I had the following items altered, a jacket that the sleeve length needed shortened, numerous shirts taken in as they were too large in the body, also a few of my favorite pairs of jeans tapered in the leg.
Sam is polite and has a warm character about him, when you come into his shop he that makes you feel like you are visiting an old friend.
His partner Grace is a joy to deal with, she has a very bubbly personality that you just want to stay in the shop all day and chat to her.
I would recommend Sam to anyone that wants alterations done anytime without fail.
If you want prompt service and great results, Sam the Tailor is the place to go.
Thank you Sam and Grace.

His alterations will your clothing fitting you like nothing else, not only are his alterations "First Class" but his & the staff's Customer Service also "First Class".

Outstanding, transformed a custom made suit bought over the internet that had pants too long and baggy, sleeve length too long, suit jacket and vest too big (I'm 6'2" and lean and it was fitted for Barry Hall or Hulk Hogan) in 3 weeks into a perfect groomsman suit. Can't thank Sam and his team highly enough. Definitely worth the money.

Approximate cost: $850
