Object Custom Tailors

First: Your stuff will never be done on time.
Second: they are LOVELY. There’s a reason Object was voted Best Tailor some years ago. They do great work. I have had pants, dresses done by them and they always did a perfect job. They are gentlemen and talented. I would not hesitate to bring n exoensive piece here ever.

He was rude and slow… the worst combination. First, he didn’t have my clothes ready. When I went in to pick up the item on the agreed upon day he told me to come back in a week… without apology. Then, I called when it was supposed to be ready and he told me that it wasn’t ready. When I finally got my items he was completely indignant. When I complained he said, «I’m just trying to do business we don’t have to hug and kiss each other.» I don’t know what that is supposed to mean. But, he’s TERRIBLE. I’ll definitely be taking my business elsewhere. I suggest you do too!

Run far, far away from this tailor. I’d rather wear ill-​fitting clothes than ever go here again. The two guys are so rude and argued with me about how I wanted a few items styled. They also had a dress of mine for more than three months and when I went to pick it up, it hadn’t even been touched. The shop is a total disaster. It’s so messy and disorganized, I’m surprised anyone gets their clothes back. I’m not sure how this place was written up as the best tailor in Brooklyn, but I will certainly be taking my business elsewhere.

this shop is owned and run by a very kind man, although it’s a quirky place, so you need to work with their system.
PROS
–they do good work, most of the time.
–very reasonable prices
CONS
–not always open during the hours listed.
–often does not have things ready in the time they say they will.
–it might take a while for them to find your piece in their shop! it appears very disorganized with piles of clothes everywhere. maybe there is a system, it’s just not apparent.

I had a great experience repairing three coats. Needed a new liner, new zipper, and buttons replaced. The work looked top-​notch, the price was reasonable, and they were done on time and ready for me when I got there. No hassle whatsoever. I didn’t see any of the issues others have raised here.

I was hesitant to come here because of the negative reviews, but was in a bind and needed something fast and cheap. I had already gone to 2 other tailors for a simple hem on a bridesmaid dress and they were expensive and would need 10 days. Not only was the man at Object extremely nice, but he hemmed my dress 2 days later and did a great job! Although I’ve never had them do anything detailed, I will definitely come back for simple tailoring.

I’m actually on my way there now to take my 3^rd batch of items to be taken in. I’m an avid thrifter who has always been on the thin side, but who also appreciates a good custom fit. I have lots of things taken in and I have been thrilled by their service.
The first time I went my things were ready when they said, 2^nd time I had to give him another day or so… but I will take that any day because Aaron is always warm and accommodating, and offers to redo things if they aren’t to your liking. I’ve often times gone to dry cleaners for tailoring before coming here and there was a bit of language barrier… but not here. I totally recommend this place.

Aaron completely butchered a dress I brought there last week. I needed the dress brought in at the hips a bit. Rather than stop at the hips, I think Aaron kept going with his cutting and completely reduced a work-​appropriate A-​line dress to a dress that was so tight through the skirt area that I could barely get it up over my backside. I have to give the dress away to charity as it’s ruined. I will NEVER go back to Object.

I’ve got a fat ass and a skinny wallet, and a perfect pair of slacks to go with both. It’s nice to go to a tailor that is just a tailor, and not part of a dry cleaning operation, kitten sitting business or Thai restaurant. They ask your name, they treat you like a human, and the clothes come out right for an affordable price. Can’t say enough good things about them.

After a few years coming here, I have to flame this place after they totally ruined a $ 1,000 suit. All I needed was to have the sleeves shortened. But after the first time round of alterations, the sleeves were still a full inch too long. (What’s the purpose of chalking the damn suit and pinning the sleeves if you’re off by that much?!)
I took the suit in again. The next time it came back, the shoulders were totally effed up – lumpy from wadded up padding, making it look as if I had replaced the shoulder pads with rags. I pointed this out, and we went for a third round of alterations. Now, the shoulders look reasonable – though not nearly as crisp and clean as the original line. But the body of the suit no longer fits. I have no idea what they did, but the fabric under the arms is now ridiculously ill-​fitting.
Never going back, and it kills me to even look at the beautiful suit that these guys ruined. The problem is that you think you’re getting Aaron – but Aaron isn’t the guy actually doing the sewing. It’s other guys that are doing the majority of the work. And I’ve seen way too much turnover among them. There used to be a middle-​aged middle eastern guy there. He did a lot of my work before, but he hasn’t been there for at least six months. And then there were two other guys. One of which I think was okay – he did the first round of alterations. And the other who was terrible – I think he did the second round.

These guys are great, they do old school alterations quick and inexpensive. they’re a solid business

DO NOT GO HERE.
I REPEAT: DO NOT GO HERE
I dropped my stuff off in Early December. I told him that I would be traveling for a few weeks and I wouldn’t be back till 2011. He said that was fine and that he needed three weeks at least anyway.
I just went to get my stuff and he hadn’t done any of it!!! He had completely forgotten it was even there. And when I told him that it was ridiculous that it wasn’t done, he shrugged it off like it wasn’t a big deal. Unprofessional AND a total a**hole.
If you want a good tailor (hell, if you want tailoring done period), go somewhere else!!!

Forgive me, Unilocal,for I have sinned.
I shopped around, looking at the reviews for some tailoring. I noted the reviews about unprofessional manner, a messy shop, and unreliable turnaround time. And for some reason (that is currently beyond my understanding) I decided to go ahead with Object Tailors anyway. Please PLEASE please spare yourself from this strange Unilocal-​defying logic and just go elsewhere.
I went in for $ 75 worth of hemming (HEMMING) three weeks ago. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY and some pretty straight forward work! When asked when I wanted the pants ready, I said last Saturday — giving him a two week lag time. I thought FOR SURE that would prevent me from the experiences other Unilocalers reported. It took me a few days until I had a free moment to pick it up.
I walk in today (Friday)– and mind you, Object Tailors is a bit of a hike from my place — and I hand in my ticket. First guy looks at my ticket, exclaims «FIVE PANTS!» with some alarm, and calls over the second guy. They rummage around in the disaster of clothes, found mine and the second guy tells me that «he’s not quite done.» Hell if «not quite done» meant «I haven’t even started.»
«Come back tomorrow. I’ll have them done.» THREE WEEKS from the moment I brought them in.
I confirmed that we’d both agreed to have them done last Saturday. I asked if he would give me a discount. His response, «If its done last Saturday or this Saturday it doesn’t make a difference. It’s the same amount of work.» I said that it made a difference to me and left.
I am not one to short change a small independent business, but there is NO accountability for the quality of the work here. I never say this on Unilocal,but this place is to be AVOIDED.
When I finally liberate my pants, I’m never coming back.

After reading a number of reviews about local tailors on Unilocal,I decided to use Object Tailors for some repairs to an old pair of pants.
When I dropped off my pants, I was told that it would be ready in 3 days (which I had no issue with — pretty standard). I then came back 10 days later because I didn’t have time to stop by. When I handed the jerk my tag, he then look through messy hangers and piles of clothes (some on sitting on the floor). He then found my pants almost 10 minutes later (no organization to putting them away) on the the bottom of a pile — with nothing done. He then said, «I’ve been busy» without apologizing. Although I was tempted to leave with my pants right away, he then told me he would take care of it and have it done by the end of the next day.
Once again, I was unable to come by for 10 days (so it was 3 weeks since I originally dropped them off). When I came back, the same thing happened — the pants were sitting on the bottom of a messy pile. He once again failed to apologize, saying that he needed a few more days to do it. At that point, I told him that he was incredibly unprofessional, and that I wanted my pants back, and that I would never come back. He then brushed me off.
So the long of the short of it is that while I cannot comment on how well his work is, this absolute jerk is unreliable, and keeps tons of clothes on the floor.
There are many other options in this area — make sure you don’t make the mistake to go here.

I haven’t actually gotten by clothes back, yet, so can’t really comment on the quality. However I’ve now had the date they’d be ready pushed back 5 separate times. So, if you’re going to use him, just be prepared to wait and not receive a straight answer on when to get your stuff. Nice guy though.

Rock star tailor. I’ve had complicated work done here on a suit, an overcoat, and a dress raincoat The work was impeccably done and low-​priced. This tailor knows his stuff – he’s been in the business for over 40 years and is a serious professional. One tip: remember to call in advance to confirm your pickup time – but that’s a minor quibble. Object is a needle-​in-​a-​haystack kind of a place, a real find.

Great tailoring, fair prices. I’ve been going here for a while and have brought in a few challenging jobs, and these guys did an excellent job with no fuss. Other reviewers are correct that they have a somewhat, shall we say, Old World view of pick-​up dates, so do call to check on time-​sensitive work. I feel it’s a minor complaint for a place that consistently does a quality job.

I wanted to like this place, I really did. Unfortunately, the guy who apparently does a great job for everybody else disappointed me every single time (about 5 in total) that I went here.
Once I had him patch some jeans, which I had to ask him to redo because he, for whatever reason, decided it would be best to patch the light-​wash denim with another, completely different wash that was so dark it looked ridiculous. Then he left all the frayed edges hanging off the holes and just sewed the «patch» into the inside of the leg with about 3 times the amount of stitching necessary.
The latest fiasco I had with him guarantees I’ll never go back. I brought him two summer dresses a month or so ago, one with a hem that kept fraying, and one with a big ugly hole in the skirt caused by a sharp edge on my bike. I came back two weeks after dropping them off to find that the hem was done, but not the hole in the other dress — he said he «kept picking it up but then I just put it back down» because he just couldn’t figure out how to fix it. He let me leave with the dress that was done and didn’t charge me. Fair enough. I told him I understood it was an unusual tear, but to just do whatever he thought was best. I came back another two weeks later, and the dress STILL wasn’t done, and he started feeding me the same excuse. Frankly, sir, I don’t give a shit. Your job as a tailor is to fix the hole. A MONTH should certainly be enough time to figure out some way to do this, especially considering how many people rave about your work on here. Anyway, I expressed annoyance that he’d had it for so long without making so much as an attempt at repairing it, and he practically threw the dress at me when I asked for it back.
Good riddance. The Merit Tailors down the street from me do work comparable to this dude’s, at half the price and without the attitude. I’m done there.

Perfect tailoring. My move to Brooklyn led me to search for a closer (and less expensive) tailor than my previous in Manhattan. Brought Aaron 3 recently purchased suits for some minor alterations (pants hemmed/​taken in, sleeves shortened a bit, etc.)
Some quick measurements, I come back a week later, and voila. Prices are good and despite the shop appearing to be in complete chaos, and it taking about 10 mins for him to find my stuff upon pickup, I can’t complain at all. The price is right and the quality of work is excellent.
He also apparently (as the name would imply) makes custom clothing and the pricing isn’t terrible. Maybe when I’m feeling brave I’ll have a shirt or some pants made.

Aaron, the tailor, does good work for a good price. The only thing you have to do is remember to call a few days after you drop your clothes off and ask him if they are ready. If you do this he will get it done fairly quickly. If you don’t call, and you just show up, your things will probably not be ready, even if he told you he would have them ready that day when you dropped them off. You have to call. That is the key to getting your things finished on time.
