The 10 Best Tailors in NYC
Stay In Your Groove With The Best Tailors in NYC
New York is known around the world for being a fashion-forward city. It isn’t just their everyday style that sets New Yorkers apart from everyone else. When they’re conducting business meetings or attending formal events, New Yorkers make sure to be dressed impeccably for the occasion.
That’s why it’s no wonder that the tailoring industry is still going strong. NYC tailors are passionate about their craft—they care about achieving the perfect fit, sourcing quality materials, and following important traditions. New York is the perfect place to shop for custom tailored clothing to be worn at special events. You can also have a luxury suit made to take home as a souvenir, or... if you're like many traveling for business, that last minute suit mishap might need a little bit more than a dry clean and Febreze,... especially if there's a tear involved.
That being said, here’s Westgate New York Grand Central’s preferred list of the top ten tailors in the city. Pay them a visit and be wowed by their eye for detail:
