Greg's Tailor Shop & Formals

"Greg is a New Haven treasure and takes great pride in his work. He has a clear eye for what you need and is incredibly easy to work with. He sized me up and found a perfect fit for my new suit. Skip the online services and Brooks Brothers - visit Greg on tiny Court Street!"

"Preparing for the Gala at Yale. Greg helped me right away and even fixed the Blazer in several days! The price, service, and the speed is way beyond the expectation! Couldn't have dreamed more than this!"

"Greg is simply outstanding. I've been bringing in numerous garments as I'm rehauling my work wardrobe & it has been awesome to work with him over the past year. Extremely kind service & willing to re-do any work if too short/long. If phoning in for questions & no answer, just ring a few times at different times of day & you can usually be seen same day."

"The owner Greg is very experienced, capable and friendly. He did excellent finishing work on my jacket, customizing the sleeves for my unusually long arms with additional lining fabric. I will certainly go back for my future tailoring needs! 10/10 would recommend this shop"

"TL;DR: Go here for anything you need. Greg is amazing and will take care of you, even if you have limited experience with tailors or don’t know exactly what you want. Prices are more than reasonable. ------- I had to get some measurements taken for an upcoming wedding, so I walked into Greg’s shop without an appointment, just because it was the closest on Google Maps. Despite having several other customers in the shop, he patiently measured me for free. I enjoyed the experience so much, that I asked him to make a tuxedo for me. I had been putting off buying a tuxedo for years, because I wanted to feel confident and comfortable in the process of making something I would cherish for a long time. Because I don’t go to tailors often, I was a bit nervous about the whole thing at the beginning, but Greg’s warmth created an atmosphere that encouraged the full expression of my preferences. I came to realize that Greg can do anything—his primary aim is to make his customers happy, so it didn’t make sense for me to not mention something and pay for a garment that I wasn’t completely satisfied with. While some tailors might get annoyed at you for asking them to take another day to make an additional adjustment you didn’t know you needed, Greg will gladly do whatever you think will make you look your best, and then undo it if you change your mind. Greg mentioned to me that he got a few negative reviews a few months ago, which ruined a five-star rating he was very proud of. He said most of these reviews came from the same few people who were disgruntled, not at the quality of his work, but simply because Greg declined to accommodate their expedited requests due to him reaching his personal capacity. To me, this is just another sign of Greg’s excellence, and but for the numerical demarcation of his review star-age, should only strengthen your confidence in him. He values the commitments he makes to his customers, won’t promise anything he can’t deliver, is in high demand, and won’t sacrifice quality to meet an unrealistic deadline. He might be able to do something for you same-day, but if he’s too busy, he’ll let you know, and you should understand. Greg takes great pride in his work and his family. Don’t be surprised if his kids are running around. He knows everyone in New Haven and has been dressing the best for decades. I’m happy to call him a new friend."
