Most alterations take seven to ten business days because the tailor works in order and finishes every seam by hand. When the interview is Thursday, the flight is Friday, or the rental tuxedo arrived wrong the day before the wedding, we move the job up: express (three to five business days) adds 25% to the alteration price, rush (24 to 48 hours) adds 50%, and both are agreed before the pins go in. A simple hem, a button, or a torn seam can often be done the same day if you call first so we can hold the time.

Dry cleaning and pressing have their own clock: in before 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and it is ready the same day, no surcharge. Duty uniforms for active law enforcement, fire, EMS, and military turn around in 24 hours at no upcharge, always. The tailoring calculator has the express and rush toggles, so you can see the number before you decide.

How it works

Getting a rush job through.

  1. Call first

    Tell us what it is and when you need it. We say yes or no on the phone, so you never drive over for nothing.

  2. Bring the shoes

    A rushed hem still needs the shoes you will wear. For a suit, the shirt too.

  3. Agree the price

    Menu price plus the surcharge, written on the ticket before the work starts.

  4. Pick up on time

    Try it on in the shop. If a hem is off by a hair, we fix it while you wait.

What cannot be rushed

Where we say no, and why.

  • Wedding dress alterations inside four weeks depend on the calendar; call and ask
  • Jacket sleeves with working buttonholes take the full time
  • Relining a jacket and major restructuring are never rush jobs
  • Leather and suede cleaning takes one to two weeks
  • Wedding dress cleaning and preservation takes two to three weeks

Good to know

Questions we get about same-day & rush

Can you do alterations the same day?
Often, for a hem, a button, a small repair, or a simple waist, if you call first so we can hold the time and the bench allows. Everything else is 24 to 48 hours at 50% over the menu price, or three to five days at 25%. Call the shop before you drive over.
How much extra is a rush alteration?
Express (three to five business days) is 25% more than the menu price; rush (24 to 48 hours) is 50% more. A pant hem, $8 standard, is $12 rushed. The tailoring calculator has both toggles.
Is same-day dry cleaning extra?
No. Dry cleaning and pressing dropped off before 9 a.m. Monday through Friday are ready the same day at the standard price.
Do first responders pay the rush charge?
Not on uniforms. Duty uniform alterations and pressing for active law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatch, corrections, and military turn around in 24 hours at no upcharge, with the 10% discount still applied.
My rental tuxedo arrived wrong. Can you fix it before the event?
Usually. Sleeves and hems on a rental are rush jobs we see every week; bring it in as soon as it arrives, with the shoes, and call first so we know it is coming.

Call before you drive over.

We will tell you on the phone whether it can be done today, tomorrow, or this week.
