Common Men's Outerwear Alterations

Button Replacement or Relocation

Buttons on outerwear can become loose, fall off, or need repositioning for a better fit. Cleveland Tailoring makes button alterations simple.

• How to request: Pin the buttons that need replacement or relocation and include a note specifying the change.
• What to send: You supply the replacement buttons along with your coat or jacket.
• Pricing: The cost is calculated per button.

Zipper Replacement

A broken zipper can render a jacket or coat practically useless, but replacing it can restore its functionality.

• How to request: Pin the zipper area and attach a note indicating that a replacement is needed.
• What to send: Please provide the replacement zipper with your outerwear.

Shortening or Lengthening Sleeves

Ill-fitting sleeves can make a coat look sloppy. Whether your sleeves are too long or too short, we can adjust them to ensure a perfect fit.

• How to request: Mark the desired length using a pin or tape and include a note.
• What to send: No extra materials are needed unless specified.

Taking in or Letting Out the Sides

If your coat or jacket feels too tight or too loose, our expert tailors can adjust the sides for a better fit.

• How to request: Pin the area that needs adjustment and specify how much fabric should be taken in or let out.

Lining Repairs or Replacements

The inside lining of a coat often wears out before the exterior fabric. We can patch or replace linings to keep your coat comfortable and durable.

• How to request: Identify the damaged areas and provide details on whether you prefer a repair or full replacement.
• What to send: If you prefer a specific fabric, include it in your package.

Cuff and Hem Adjustments

Cuffs and hems can fray over time, affecting the look of your coat. We repair and reinforce these areas to keep your outerwear in excellent condition.

• How to request: Indicate the area that needs work and specify if you need a repair or length adjustment.
