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

I've just had two dresses altered by Sam. From being unwearable they now fit like a glove and I feel like I have gorgeous new clothes. I've also had repairs done on some favourite clothes which I can't bear to part with (including some delicate and worse for wear designer things) and he has done a lovely job of mends that can't be seen. He has a real eye for what looks good and a true skill as a tailor. Fast and also very reasonably priced for the very high quality of his work.

Sam is your guy if you need an alteration which requires problem solving. I purchased a beautiful dress a little while ago and it no longer zips up at the back (too much over-indulgence...) and I needed the dress for a wedding in less than a week! I was almost giving up but Sam was able to cut some material from the floaty end of the dress, relocate the zipper and attach the extra material to the back of the dress! The work performed was seamless and the dress fitted perfectly. Sam managed to get this all done in three days, just in time for the wedding! Very happy customer and would definitely recommend.

This is a trusted tailor I go to make cloths to good on me.. what I like about this business it not just t quality of work but also he provides advise. I also love his assistant grace . She friendly upbeat and helpful. Definitely recommend to others.

I recently stumbled across SAMs alterations while looking to get a dress fixed. I had previously taken the dress to two different tailors, one of which was a renound suit tailor whom our family has used for years, both refused to touch the dress due to the difficulty and nature of the material. The dress in questions was organza silk which I had absolutely ruined. I tad torn it in numerous areas both on the front and back, inclusive of the inside lining. After speaking to both tailors I was certain the dress couldn't be fixed. I decided to take it to SAMs as one final attempt to save this garment. I was immediately greeted and made to feel comfortable.
Sam attended to me and conversed with me honestly about the job. He assured me he could fix the dress and went on to explain how he would do so and how much time he required. It took him just over one week to transform my dress.
I was absolutely blown away by the result. The dress was not only fixed but returned to its former state. By looking at the dress I was unable to find where I had previously torn it, it was not until I saw 'before' pictures that I was able to identify where the dress had been split.
The service and expertise provided by Sam and all his staff are unlike any I have experienced. They are genuine, professional and honest.
I cannot recommend him enough, and I would not consider taking any of my clothes to anyone other than Sam. Thank you for saving my dress !!! (I promise I will never bring it in to be fixed again)

extremely professional work, you get what you pay for here and you do pay for it! highly recommend sam and co. to anyone who needs fine work done, especially on expensive/unique/precious items

Approximate cost: $300

Best tailor in town!
I have dealt with quite a couple of tailors in Melbourne including a few referred by good brands such as Ted Baker, but I would have to say that out of all Sam is the best tailor I have ever come across! Apart from delivering an unmatched quality in alteration work, Sam is also able to provide you with suggestions about styling and fashion trends! To date I think I have had at least 5 sets of suits, 4-5 suit jackets and 4 trousers altered by Sam, all were of absolute excellent finishes and suited me like a glove, most importantly these items looked untouched like they are just off the racks! All in all very happy with Sam's work and by the way Grace in the shop makes wonderful coffees! Keep up the good work!
