Kitty Kat

They are very accommodating and do an exceptional job.

Joseph Giovanniello

Been going to Wagner for years... wouldnt trust anyone else with my clothes... they are great

Kenny Chan

Expensive (for the area), but generally pretty good quality

Jigar Parikh

My clothes always come out looking like they were purchased that way. Can't ask for more.

Ted Popov

I've been coming here since I moved to the city 7 years ago. They always do phenomenal work. I especially appreciate that if you're getting jeans hemmed, they will actually shorten the jeans and reattach the original hem instead of making a new one and trying to match the stitching.

JP Slee

Excellent services

Jonathan Lang

Good pricing. Fast turnaround. Solid work.

Mark K

Great tailor. I am very particular about fit and the quality of the tailoring and Wagner consistently delivers. Cannot recommend highly enough.

CN: They did an excellent job taking the waist down of a wool pea coat for only $35. I could not be happier. Bring cash, he doesn't take credit. Full story is below... 1. I have a 10" drop (difference between chest size and waist size). 2. I don't like spending a lot of money. This unique combination of traits leads to a closet of clothes that don't fit very well. To be frank, I didn't realize my clothes didn't fit well until I moved to New York. (In Chicago, it is more acceptable to have a shirt that resembles a tent.) I realized that my J Crew pea coat (which i bought at the outlet) fits well in my chest/shoulders, but not at the waist. After doing quite a bit of research online and hearing stories of how tailors would not alter heavy coats (or do so at a price greater than the cost of the coat), I decided to drop by Wagner's. Thanks to the thorough review done by other yelpers, I quickly found his shop (go into the gift shop and up the stairs on your left). Before I committed to having it altered, I asked him for the price... He asked for $35! I agreed right away, and after a few pinches, pins, and a couple chalk lines, I was out the door. To be perfectly frank, I was worried on whether or not the coat would fit correctly after such a quick consultation. He was literally done in 30 seconds. I just picked up my coat, the fit is perfect, the work is of high quality, and I couldn't be more pleased. I basically got a custom coat for an extra $35. I'm already thinking of what else I can have him tailor for me...

Great tailor. Always happy with their services. The owner and the staff are very friendly. Cash only I believe.

I originally found this place on Yelp after getting disappointed with my old tailor. I've been going to Wagner for about a year now for pretty much everything that needs tailoring, and they've always been doing a decent job. So far there has only been one time where the first alteration didn't fit me well (some silk pants that were too baggy to begin with, and actually I didn't accept them until the third time), but they have no problem taking back the item and redo it with no extra charge. I sometimes also ask for their opinions of whether something should be tailored and they would give honest opinions. This place is also reasonably priced - a little more expensive than my old tailor but the quality of the work is worth the extra. The location is convenient (currently there is scaffolding above the entrance so it may be hard to spot), and the place is clean and spacious. They would give you a receipt after receiving the clothes and tell you when to pick up (most times I go picking up past the due date, but those times when I do go on the day of, the clothes have always been ready). This place is CASH ONLY. There is a Bank of America right across the street so cash only is not a big deal.

Convenient location for lower manhattan. Prices are fair and service is stellar. You have to go into the building and take the elevator to the fourth floor.

DJ Transaction

Decent price tailoring in the area. Made my $200 suit look like $400+

Bojan Bajic

Attentive and skilled tailors - know what they are doing.

Evan Andersen

Came here to get a zipper fixed on pants. Cheap prices, professional work and you'll have it back in a few days. Would recommend.

Richard Kahane

Took in a pair of chinos at noon for cuffing and asked if I could possibly have them that evening. "No problem," was the response, and sure enough, the pants were ready--and perfectly altered--by 6:30!

Jay L

Great! Delivered on the date as promised

Kathleen Maher

Fast, reliable, friendly, and have often made suggestions that improve a jacket or dress more than I would have guessed--if I were remotely capable of envisioning such details beforehand.

Jason G

Quality work with quick turn around

Gio Gomez

Travel all the way downtown because I like the work they do a trust them with my clothes. Highly recommended.

Lawrence Fung

Impressed with attention to detail. Came to get a suit tailored during the summer, and they wouldn't let me leave w/ the suit until it was perfect. High quality work. I'm happy that my search for a go-to tailor ends here!

Sara Zhu

Had a belt taken in for a formal event out of the country. Told them to take off the length of the buckle when I was getting fitted, but noticed no markings were made on the belt so figured he would just remember. Just picked up the belt and it was so tight that I could barely breath. Not a belt with any adjustment possible which is why I needed to get it tailored, but it is elastic so the fact that I couldn't breathe shows how tight it was. The guys at the desk were rude and basically said not much we can do even though I told him it was a mistake prob due to not making markings when originally measuring. After some back and forth, they said I didn't have to pay after I was adamant that it wasn't what I asked for originally. That's the only reason I gave them 2 stars. Only tried this place because it is close to my office, but going back to my previous tailor after this experience!

Wagner is a one of a kind tailor. He is incredibly patient, has a sharp attention to detail and really listens to your requests. I have gotten numerous pants, shirts and jackets tailored by him and cannot recommend him enough. He has even made numerous adjustments after initial alterations at no extra charge, and as an added bonus, his prices can't be beat.

John Khalil

Consistency and precision. And so patient--Wagner has so much patience with me in how picky I am with ensuring precise fits. Not once has he displayed any sort of frustration with me. Stitching is so clean & straight and thread color matched perfectly. Yet to find a tailor like Wagner. Thank you, Wagner. So much.

Ed F

Fair price. $12 to hem chinos; but they definitely look hemmed. Expressed dissatisfaction to unconcerned staff.

Jeffrey Chew

Super fast service getting my pants tailored here. Will definitely return if I need anything else tailored!

Winston S.

I've been going to Wagner's for a few years now after a recommendation from some friends and he is my go to person for alterations now. Prices are economical and he is willing to work with you so that you leave with all of the right alterations. Definitely would recommend to anyone that is looking for alterations to be made to your clothes.

Florian Bruno

This alteration tailor was recommended to me by brooks brothers - I am a difficult fit. They always do a good job, prices are fair, and service is courteous.

Malai P.

I found Wagner's Tailoring by chance and figured I'd give it a try considering the wonderful reviews left by others and his proximity to my office and my unwillingness to pay a fortune closer to Wall Street. I'd taken in a dress that I needed hemmed and asked if could have the dress two days later for my birthday weekend. I was told that picking it up early the next week would be more ideal, but I was given my dress two days later as I requested. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of work and the bonus is that there was no indication that anything was done because it was undetectable! I will definitely go back and refer Wagner's to all of my friends and colleagues. Excellent prices and amazing work! Thank you! (For reference, I took in a chiffon, pleated dress which I knew wouldn't be easy to hem).

Andrew Brown

These guys used to be the best: great prices, and good work. The owner and his #2 are great guys! They recently expanded into a new bigger space, and took on some new people, and since then the quality of the work has gone down a bit. Shirts and jackets always come back looking good. Pants, for some reason always come back too short. Three times now, I've had jeans come back too short. Unfortunately, unlike suit pants, there's no extra fabric to let them back out - money down the drain. I'll probably still go for my shirts, but I can't really trust them with anything else for the time being. Which is a shame, because I really do like these guys.

Chris Chris.

Willing to tailor my shirt so that it was ready for an event the next day! Appreciate the great service!

Samuel Park

A solid tailor with excellent prices and turnaround time. I send all of my clothes here..Tom Ford suits, Ralph Lauren Purple Label pants to J Crew casual shirts. You can’t go wrong with them, best tailor in lower Manhattan.

Ross

Brought in a couple dress pants for hemming, got it done exactly as I expected, by the time they promised, and for a good price.
