The price
Quoted in person, once we have seen the garment on you. Nothing starts until you have agreed it.

The work coming out of Carmichael tends toward the considered end: quality garments that need resizing rather than replacing, coats worth relining, and pieces with enough sentimental or material value to justify proper repair.

That suits us. Restoration is slower work and it's the part of the trade that most rewards experience, which is what forty-five years buys you.

Resizing over replacing

Good garments brought back to your current measurements rather than retired to the back of a closet.

Restoration work

Relining, structural repair, and reshaping on pieces worth keeping in service.

Twelve minutes east

Manzanita Ave north to Greenback Lane, then east. Parking at the door.

Resizing a wardrobe rather than replacing it

Bodies change, and a closet full of good clothes that no longer fit is a common and solvable problem. Most quality garments have enough seam allowance to move a size in either direction, sometimes more.

Bring several pieces at once. Fitting a group in one session is faster, cheaper per garment, and keeps the proportions consistent across everything — the same trouser break, the same degree of taper, the same sleeve length.

Usually, yes. Most quality garments carry enough seam allowance to move a size in either direction. Bring several pieces at once — it's faster and keeps proportions consistent across your wardrobe.
