Reviews of Shopboy (Tailor)

Vijay Gogia

Desmond is a true gentleman and has a masters degree in style. Shopboy is my absolute favorite spot to get my suits and pants fixed. They're extremely nice and accommodating. They've suggested changes to my suit that I would have never thought of which are very fashion forward. A++ Will definitely come back!

Jennifer Van Zandt

The best tailor in NYC!

Stuart Claxton

Superb tailoring nestled in TriBeCa, Desmond and Kendall are a couple of gems.

Kathryn Kallison

Desmond and Kendall truly know what they are doing in regard to tailoring with style while providing great service. As a petite (not tall!) person, I used to go to Igacio's uptown but now I bring all of my good labels to Shopboy.

Kevin Stanton

Fantastic service and work! One of the best tailor shops in NYC.

Erika Gesue

These people GET fashion and when they do alterations, they’re not just shortening or taking in, they alter the piece in a way that is true to the style of the piece. This is the only place I will go for alterations.

Carlos Terrones

On a very short-notice Desmond and Kendall accommodated my request to fixed my pants. Very appreciated for their attention to detailed to the customer and most of all, friendliness.

Kurt Slanaker

Everything Desmond and Kendall, and their stellar team, do is at the top quality and service level. Seamless experience, wonderful environment, and great services. Cannot recommend them enough!

Molly Oishi

I absolutely loved this place! They were really nice and warm and personable and did exactly what I wanted for my jeans which had never fit me well but not fit me perfectly! Would absolutely recommend to a friend!

Super friendly and efficient . Team helped me out and executed the changes I needed in a record amount of time. Updated a suit and it fits and looks terrific

Gregg Horowitz

Desmond and Kendall are lovely people. Even more important, the do brilliant work. My wife and I both had several garments that we love to wear but that, for one reason or another, needed an adjusted hem here, an altered profile there, and so on. By making the garments fit perfectly, it was as if Shopboy increased our wardrobe by 20%. A really great shop with excellent work done by very nice folks - what more could you want!

Julian Muller

I took my wedding tuxedo here for alterations and was super impressed with the overall customer service and attention to detail. This shop is definitely a level above your normal tailor. Would definitely go back again.

Shengqi Chai

By far one of the best tailor shops I have been to in the city. Friendly employees and masterful alterations. I take my garments here all the time and they make sure that I walk away fitted and satisfied. Definitely worth the price

Judy Gruen

The quality of their tailoring is first rate. It's a bit far for me to get to them but its worth the trip. I've considered going to a more convenient tailor shop but end up not doing it because if I have something tailored, I want it done right. I took off one star because they are on the expensive side.

Beth Lacey

I had several pieces in my closet that I loved but just didn't look right. Then I found Shopboy and all my problems were solved. They do high quality work, really think about how to make the clothes work for you, and are so very friendly. They are my go-to from now on!

Richard Katzman

Great tailor, even better people

Ksenia Khalturina

You will only find high quality craftsmanship here! I’ve searched and searched for the right tailors and I’m happy to say this is the place to go. You can entrust your threads and expect to receive exactly what you ask for at a fair price. I had my wedding gown altered. It was a simple hem, but the silk is incredibly delicate and cut challenging. The hem was better than the original

Keenan Flynn

This place is awesome. Super easy, do great work, and cool people. Would definitely recommend and will go back for sure. 5 STARS!

Manisha Chawhan

Very friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Everything I’ve had tailored there, from pants being hemmed to gowns being tailored for fit, has been finished impeccably.

Josh Schecter

Fanastic attention to detail, but the customer service was actually the thing that clenched it. It is a bit on the expensive side, but if you have an important piece, it's the place to take it.

Kristen Domingue

*Blown away* by the quality. I brought in 1 pair of leather pants: split at the crotch step, knee lining blown out, and unfinished at the hem -- basically NOT wearable anymore. 1 pair of drawstring leisure pants I was gifted in size M (I'm an XS): also unfinished and because they were so long, one of the heels had a rip. 1 dress I bought in a size S: it might as well have been a size L. Results: Leather pants are wearable again. Leisure pants not only got fixed at the hem but the tailor also took in the the entire waistline and crotch step so they fit me perfectly (didn't ask for that, super impressed he pulled it off without measuring me.) And the dress? All I can say is WOW. No simple dart-and-stitch situation. They basically had to reconstruct the entire thing given what I needed (detach the bodice from the skirt, shrink the bodice, reattach to skirt w/o shrinking the skirt.) It was done superbly well. Will be back! I'm not a review-leaver, but this place deserves all the praise it can get.

Dave Blanchard

Great place for tailoring. Service is good, and the alterations are always speedy and precise. My go to place for tailoring all my clothes/accessories.

James Michael

They get it and I’m fussy. It’s not cheap and it’s not overpriced either- you get more than you pay for.

Peter Goldman

Great place.

Lauren Gleason

My go to tailor!!! These guys are the best. Super professional and friendly. They’ve done everything for me from basic demin hemming to full evening gown alterations. They always get it right and I won’t go anywhere else.

Amanda Mahoney-Fernandes

After many failed attempts (and botched clothing) trying to find a tailor in New York my friend recommended me to shopboy. This place is an absolute gem. I will not trust another tailor with my clothes ever ever !!! From wool coats to leather pants, they do fabulous work on everything. The owners and employees are all genuinely good people. Thanks again!

Bruce Erb

They do good work here. I would say the pricing may be on the high side, but its fair and generally not well above market. Everything I had done there came back near perfect in terms of fit. I will be back.

Thatcher Shultz

Great people, cute space, amazing service!

Melinda Mucha

I brought in a very delicate silk vintage dress which was pulling apart in places around the hem, and I wasn't sure what could be done about it. But the re-hemming was beautifully done; it was obvious that much care and expertise was involved.

Carl Runge

Best modern tailor in NYC for items ranging from Suits to Jeans and Tees.

Colin Cunningham

Great combination of value and service. Incredible work on my favorite coat, turned it around quickly, and made me feel at home. Best place to take your prized pieces for whatever they may need.
