Pooja Shankar
Anna is really nice, he knows what he is doing. As other people have already mentioned he is great with jeans alterations. Travelled more than 8km and got my jeans altered (previously given and spoilt the pants from another "boutique" tailor). He offers very affordable stitching, quick and neat finish. Definitely recommend!!!
Vijay
Visited this place for couple of times. Altered many of my Raymond and TommyHilfiger shirts and pants. He altered the shirt to perfect slim fit. Competitive price. After altering he ensures we wear our shirt then and there, visually inspects to see fitting is correct and we are ok with that. Definitely will visit in future.
Dolly Austen
Got my cargo pants altered in minutes... It was a brand new pant I was sceptical at first... Went only with the Google reviews and he exceeded my expectations. He is a humble, nice person and master of his trade. Do check him out if in need of any alteration works!
Subha V
Very hasty work. I gave some nighties for additional stitching and he had stitched over the pockets. Not a good work. Too costly for the quality as well.
Barath
I went there for Alter my 3 pants, To be honest i was shocked by his skills and speed. He is very kind, funny and genuine. He wants to make sure you are satisfied with his work. He Altered my pants in front of me and made me wear it and was keen that I liked it. He is very honest and a rare gem, reasonable price and he discounted ₹80 for me 😋
Harish Srinivasan
I was referred to him by my friends. I went to him for altering shirts. He did a fantastic job and was very polite. Recommend his work😀.
I would go again!
Alf John
Well my experience here was really good I would say. It's not what it looks like. Yes, he sits on the roadside, but his expertise in altering jeans and formals are on a different level. I would suggest taking measurements of the clothes that you want to alter at home and straight away give him the details when you arrive at his location. It just makes it easier for him to alter.
It's better that you call him and then visit, because he's always busy with other alterations. He's such a polite and humble guy.
I would really recommend to go and check out.
Armaan
He is a "savior" with such a good heart. I had many Jeans not able to use it without alteration, when googled, I found this shop with lot of good reviews, hence packed by bag full of jeans and called him to check if I can come.. he politely said a timing and asked me to come by that time, so that I dont have to wait for long time. Once I reached there.. he clarified few things about alteration and asked my requirements and accordingly he altered my Jeans on the spot in an hours time. All are perfect in shape now with proper finishing. I just found my customized specialist.
Jagadheeshwar
He's great at altering. A calm and comfortable person, politely asks our requirements and also gives his own suggestions. The price he quotes is also very cheap. Definitely worth it. Make your measurements right and tell him whatever you have in doubt. He'll clear it.
AJITH KUMAR
Hey hi people, I need to alter the waist and length of my jeans. Is it possible to alter jeans here? I'm looking for a good alteration shop. Wherever I go, the tailors say that the jeans are too thick or too thin, so they can't alter the waist. Is it really possible to alter the waist of jeans here???
G Rao
He did a good job alerting my kurti top. A bit on the sieve and body according to a measurement top. I was a bit shocked that it cost 60 though. And he didn’t accept GPay. Cash only. Saying that he pays ATM fees to withdraw. There were some dust bins being cleared out right there and flies were everywhere. Would go again if needed
Anuradha Seshaiah
Best place to get your jeans altered at reasonable price.
I got two of my jeans altered on the spot.
Better to give a call and visit the place to understand his schedule if he is available to stitch as he can get busy. Very humble person.
Deepak (JAMMY)
Guys recently i went to this tailor for my jeans alteration, gave my 8 jeans to alter and the prize he said is 70 for each and if he cuts the bottom and stitch he cost 120 .he is amazing guys he is available all day from 10 to 7 .. if anyone have to alter you can go without any 2nd thoughts. He is good in jeans …
Madan Krishnan
Mahadevan is one of a kind. Very skilled, honest and genuinely wants to make sure you are satisfied with his work. He did not let me go and had me wear every shirt, altered it in front of me and made me wear it and was keen that I liked it. Hr is very honest and a rare gem. He even recommended a great spot for overlap. Great experience and worth my travel from shenoy nagar. All this in 1 hour flat.
U K
Best and honest tailor. His professionalism is great. I went for altering my pant hip size reduction. Before start of the work he clearly explained how the finishing will look like...ex: position of back pocket after reduction. After my approval he asked me to wear ( was wearing shorts) and he said to try at home and come back if i am satisfied. He could have earned money had he stiched both the pants. But he did not do that. Best wishes!!! Support him neighbours please!
Sandeep Sathyabalan
