Cardelino Tailoring Shop

They hemmed my suit pants in less than two hours and it only cost $ 15. They ended up looking really good, too!

I had a nice double breasted wool overcoat I purchased several years ago that was just a bit too long for me. The price was excellent and I always intended to get the item altered, but just never got around to it.
Well, I finally got around to getting it altered and shopped around. A lot of places I checked weren’t too keen on the project, and the ones that were open to it quoted me a very high price. I just wanted about 3″ taken off the bottom of the coat, no other alteration would be necessary.
I checked with the folks at Cardelino — I told the gentleman exactly what I needed and I was quoted a very fair price, so I OKed the work and was told to check back in a week.
A week later, I picked up my coat. The job was excellently done — you couldn’t tell that there was any alteration. The hem and lining were exquisite. A total first class job at a great price.
The nice folks at Cardelino Tailoring Shop are highly recommended!

The store has been here for over 10 years. Juan took it over from his dad. They do a great job and are super friendly.

Just wanted to share my experience — I received terrible service the minute I walked in. I asked if they could hem something and he says «no no I’m working all week». Really? A simple hem you can’t do in one week??? It took me a few seconds to get over it. But seeing how convenient their location was, I asked «Do you have a business card?» He says «no no». Then just tells me to close the door on my way out… practically shooing me out. I don’t get it… This is how you are gonna attract new customers? And I really didn’t appreciate the smirk on his face (Juan) when he told me he couldn’t hem the dress on time.

Meh. I took my suit jacket to them a while back to fix a wrinkle on the shoulders created by another tailor who’d refused to correct his mistake. I also wanted the lapels not to flair out when buttoned, a sizing issue with this made-​to-​measure suit. I was told that they could «absolutely» fix these issues. Not a doubt, I was assured. They added that they could also tweak the length on one of the pant legs, which was probably a millimeter or two off. I went with it, and smiled all the way home envisioning my «new» suit. $$ later, the jacket looks exactly the same. The pant length was corrected. All they could do, I was told.

The team here does great work, are polite and professional, and happily take care of any issues that arise. I have brought a couple dozen shirts here to be tailored along with a few other more challenging items, and have always been very satisfied, except once or twice when something wasn’t quite perfect and he happily made it right at no charge. The work is always done on time and the prices are fair for a convenient location in Flatiron. All in all, a satisfied customer.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! They lost my clothes, were extremely rude, worst experience of my life. Don’t go here!

The work they did was on time and well-​done. That said, Cardelino loses stars on their price and attitude towards their clients. They charged me $ 60 for a simple jacket shortening. While it was done well, a 1 week wait doesn’t warrant a $ 60 charge. I also brought in a pair of pleated pants that needed to be tapered and he flat out said he wouldn’t do it unless I was willing to spend over $ 100. He acted as if the tapering was a massive job. I should’ve just left at that, but decided to leave the jacket with him and try another tailor in the area for the pants. I was pleasantly surprised at the inexpensive tapering job the other tailors completed. Frankly, Cardelino is too expensive and only willing to simple tailoring jobs.

Cardelino has done a great job for me on everything from hemming jeans and pants to shortening sleeves on a winter coat — and he’s a very nice guy. What else could you ask for in a local tailor?!

The CFO of our company ripped his pants and I needed to get them fixed ASAP. Went into Cardelino and he fixed them on the spot. Great tailoring, great customer service. It came to $ 5 and i had $ 4 cash, handed my cc to him and he said $ 4 was fine. Will definitely be going back here. Thanks Cardelino!

I’ve been going here for years and they always do a great job in a quick turnaround. Service is very friendly and would strongly recommend them to any (and every) friend in need of tailoring.

Very professional, quality work. They altered a dress for me with a rush turn around at a very reasonable cost. I will be bringing more to them soon!

There is another listing on Unilocal for Cardelino, however when I went it was a generic local dry cleaner/​tailor, I believe they’ve since moved across Broadway to the address I have here.
I’ve gone to these guys now on two separate occasions with multiple pieces of clothing each time. They’re friendly and professional enough, and the work they do is generally good. However on both occasions there were some screw ups resultant from sloppy work or poor attention to detail.
The first time they reversed the fold on a fabric belt so I would’ve had to put it on backwards, and also gave me someone else’s jeans. The second I had them reinforce some buttons and they did so while sewing through pockets in the jacket so I wouldn’t be able to use them.
People go to tailors because they pay attention to detail and though they were responsive and good about the fixes, they’re not cheap and should be working a little more carefully.
