Suit alterations, done by hand

A suit should fit the room you're about to walk into.

AttoColor takes in, lets out, shortens, and reshapes jackets, trousers and vests until the garment moves the way you do — pinned, marked and finished on site.

By appointment & walk-in Tues–Sat, fittings held in-store

What we alter

Every part of the suit, adjusted to you

Jackets, trousers, vests and shirts — brought in, let out, shortened or restructured, one garment at a time.

Jacket adjustment

Waist suppression, shoulder correction, sleeve length, and body shortening or lengthening — reshaping the jacket around your posture, not the other way around.

Trouser alteration

Hemming with or without a cuff, waist take-in or let-out, leg tapering, and seat adjustment for a break that lands exactly where you want it.

Vest & waistcoat fitting

Side and back adjustment for a vest that sits close without pulling at the buttons when you sit down.

Dress shirt tailoring

Body and sleeve tapering so a shirt sits flat under a jacket instead of billowing at the waist.

Lining & interior repair

Torn or worn linings replaced, interior seams reinforced, and pockets rebuilt so the parts you don't see hold up as long as the parts you do.

Buttons & closures

Matched button replacement, buttonhole repair, and zipper or hook-and-bar replacement on trousers and vests.

How it works

From fitting to finished

Four visits become two for most alterations — a fitting, then pickup.

01

Bring it in

Walk in or call ahead. Wear the shoes and shirt you'll pair with the suit, since that changes where a hem or waist should sit.

02

Pin & mark

The garment is fitted on you, pinned at each point of adjustment, and marked in chalk before anything is cut.

03

Alter

Seams are opened, taken in or let out, and pressed by hand. Most work is ready within a week.

04

Final fitting

You try it on before it leaves the shop. If anything needs a second pass, it's adjusted at no extra charge.

Visit the shop

Come in for a fitting

Alterations are fitted in person — bring the garment, and the shoes you'll wear with it.
