Macchione Custom Tailor

I dropped off a cashmere scarf to be repaired with Mr. Macchione in November. I heard he takes a while, but haven’t heard anything back. Everytime I go to his shop he’s not there. A passerby said that he might be working from home now and his daughter is getting his voicemails. But when I call no one answers the phone and there is no message system. I left a note through the mail slot with my info and description of my scarf 3 weeks ago and have had no response. Today I called and the phone number is disconnected!
Does anyone have any info? Does anyone have a working phone number?

A fine and humane man, a superb artist and craftsman, Suits you will treasure for decades. It is a pleasure to see him work, and a gift to speak with him.

I had a pair of pants that were too long that needed the length to be taken up. They were for my sister’s wedding in Mexico that I was standing up in as a groomsman. I took them in to Macchione because he had good reviews online and was close to my work.
WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE !!!
I was told by Mr. Macchione that they would be ready in a week. Two weeks went by and I had not yet heard from him, so I called and I was told the pants were ready. Later that afternoon I went in to pick up my pants and I tried them on. NOTHING had been done to the pants, they were not shortened at all, they were still 4 inches too long! Mr. Macchione looked at me and all he said was «I don’t know what happened. This has never happened to me before.»
At this point it was a Monday and I had to leave Wednesday night for Mexico for the wedding. I asked several times if he can have the pants done by Wednesday. Mr. Macchione guaranteed the pants would be done by Wednesday, no problem. He said to come in at 2pm on Wednesday.
Wednesday comes along and I stop in at 2pm, he is not there and his shop is closed. I come back at 2:30pm. 3pm. 3:30pm. 4pm. 4:30pm. Still not there. I am leaving on a flight to Mexico in a few hours and I have no pants for standing up in the wedding!
Finally, in a complete frenzy (and with my sister flipping out because I didn’t have the matching pants) I frantically went to Macy’s and bought a new pair of pants. It set me back another $ 150 to buy another pair because Mr. Macchione disappeared with my pants.
It is now almost three weeks later. I still have not got my original pants back from Mr. Macchione. Since I got back from Mexico, I have stopped into his store a half dozen times and he is never there and his store is always closed. He has never called me telling me when I can pickup the pants or when he will be there. I have not heard from him at all.
All I can say, is DO NOT DO BUSINESS with him. Unless you want to have your clothes go missing. This was a horrible experience and I am still figuring out how I am going to get my pants back or the money he owes me for having to buy a new pair of pants.

Wasn’t extremely impressed. I took in two suits. The jackets were taken in on the waist, sleeves taken up a little and a button moved on one and one taken up a little; the pants were cuffed, substantially taken in and then some work done on the crotch and rear. Grand total $ 315. Not a horrible price but not a great price. What really upset me was that he coated me $ 160.
The jackets still fit a little awkwardly. Too much material in the back still so they hang like I just hit a round of chemo. I said hey i think there’s a little too much room back here and he told me if i wanted it to fit perfect to get a custom suit.
The other jacket he took up a little too high and now it kind of looks like a waiters jacket. I’m not sure how i feel about it.
Both pants fit very well.
Turn around time was about 3 weeks which in my opinion is kind of long. All in all it was kind of eh… I was really excited based on reviews but i’m not that impressed. Definitely finding a different tailor for the next suit.

Mr. Maccione is the absolute best here in the city! I’ve been looking for a couple months, and last time settled with having the work done by my dry cleaner. Big mistake! The dry cleaner just doesn’t have the expertise or experience (or desire) to do high quality work. Mr. Maccione took my Armani and in about a week updated it to new. I love it! Seriously, if you know what quality work is and what a tailor is supposed to be, you really won’t find any better than him here in the city. Thank you Mr. Maccione!

Lovely shop in suite 218, lovely man, LOVELY turn-​around time.
I had asked my friend to shorten the straps on the dress I wanted to wear to the opera. Last night she ripped out half a seam before realizing the jersey material was out of her skill league. Panic! This morning I tried taking it to ABC Cleaners where I’ve had pants hemmed and a lot of dry cleaning done, but they were closed to attend a wedding.
Thank you, Macchione! I followed the signs for a custom tailor and found him on the second floor (above the Fountain café, etc.). He told me he didn’t do women’s dresses, but I showed him how minor the alteration was going to be (after watching him do an amazing job on the inside of a suit coat for a few minutes), and he said he could do it. Then I asked: could you do it by 5 p.m. tonight? No problem, he said.
It’s now 4 p.m., I have my dress in hand, and I’m looking forward to the opera tonight.

Macchione is great! Oh, by the way he is in suite 218 now. I’ve been taking my clothes to Macchione for the last 10 years. His seams are perfect, his work is outstanding. His shop is a time warp, he is probably one of the last of his craft. he might be a little short with you at times, but he’s a nice old guy and the result is worth it. This is the real thing folks, and authentic Italian tailor who know his craft.
