Nestled in the heart of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, we’ve become a trusted name for locals, professionals, and clients from across New York City who value fit, fabric, and flawless execution.

Teodoor Tailor was an amazing experience for me. I had a dress slip that I needed hemmed for an event last minute and he got it done perfectly within hours. He was kind and helpful and gave good advice as to the length. Would go back!

I had pleated dress trousers altered here for leg tapering/hem. Unfortunately, the alterations were done incorrectly, which created permanent bunching and destroyed the drape of the garment. When I raised concerns about the distortion, I was told this was "because they're pleated," which isn't accurate for properly altered pleated trousers.A second tailor confirmed the pants cannot be fixed as no fabric was left in the seams. When I requested a refund for the unsuccessful alteration, the situation became unnecessarily complicated (was told "we knew you'd be trouble" because I tried to use a visa gift card I won at a work conference lol).This may be a suitable option for simple, non-invasive alterations like basic hems or letting out seams where there's existing fabric. They are flexible and genuinely wanting to leave you happy. However, I cannot recommend this business for any work requiring understanding of garment design, structure, or style preservation, In my case for pleated trousers, tailored menswear, or anything beyond basic adjustments.If you have high-quality or designer garments that require structural alterations, or if you're looking to put trust in the tailor I'd strongly suggest finding someone who specializes in that specific type of clothing.

This is the price to pay for avoiding manipulation. We offer a lifetime guarantee on our work. We have no reason to refuse a customer's request if they have a problem, even if we really understand that the person is trying to take advantage. It's sad choose this method to try to damage a business's reputation to benefit another. There are many experts people demanding refunds after get the service or Products Claim and offering negatively comment if you not do something This practice must stop. Competition is about results.
