I had a Barbour brand wax jacket that I wanted taken in. I went and saw my usual tailors and they wouldn’t touch it due to how complex the job was (multiple lawyers, requires waterproof stitching and a generally hard material to work with). I was pretty disappointed about this and decided to google tailors in Melbourne who might be able to help out

Due to all the great reviews about Sam, I thought I would contact him. Straight away I was impressed with his knowledge and confidence in being able to do the work and to a high standard. I handed the jacket over and I’m stoked with how it has come out! Sam has done the best job – the jacket is still fully waterproof, the inside lining still looks great and the workmanship was outstanding! I truly recommend Sam for his skills and excellent work. I now know where to go for top notch tailoring and alterations. Sam’s the man!!!

Approximate cost: $150

I was really impressed with Sam's, not only did he do an amazing job on a difficult alteration but the customer service was also excellent. I would definitely recommend to friends and will use again.

Sam is the only person I'd trust with complex alterations! He is reliable, professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend his services.

I've been keen to get some of my shirts taken in so they fit: there's not a thing I could possibly fault Sam and his team for. In asking for him to take the shirts in so they're nicely fitted, Sam nailed the cut, the result is really professionally done and did it within a reasonable time. I read his reviews and took the time to walk from one side of the city to the other to get there - definitely worth it. Outstanding quality work and worth every cent!

Sam was amazing! I had taken my suit to other tailors who told me it was impossible to repair the pants, and that I may as well toss them out. Sam not only fixed them quickly, but they are as good as new and look perfect. I have taken everything to him since. He is very friendly and a pleasure to go and see.

I cannot recommend Sam highly enough. I bought a suit online that was far too big when it arrived and Sam has reworked it beautifully. It now looks like it was made for me. Friendly service, great quality and delighted with the result.

Sam offers a really great service. He did a terrific job altering my suit exactly to my specifications. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get clothes altered, thank you very much!

Professional, efficient, personalised and flexible tailor in the Melbourne CBD. Right in the middle of the legal precinct hidden away in Healeys Lane (between Lonsdale and Little Lonsdale) you'll find this gem of a youing man. I work for 5 barristers so often have high quality suits, gowns and casual wear needing anything from minor repairs to major alterations and Sam is always efficient completing the work to the highest standard at a reasonable price and with a smile.
He has also repaired some precious garments of mine (sentimental value - 80 year old "coming out" cape of my mother's, shirring on special dress some 26 years old) and the job done was top class.
I cannot recommend Sam's Clothing Alterations enough.

Sam has altered a number of dresses for me and I am always delighted with the result. Also provides excellent customer service and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Sam's Clothing Alterations.

We presented Sam with a very difficult task, re- hemming silk scarves. The end result far outweighed our expectations. Sam is a thorough professional, very friendly and always welcoming. We highly recommend him. We will most definitely be returning customers. Thank You again Sam.
