We don’t cut corners! Every article of clothing is treated as a name-brand custom garment and given ample amounts of attention to custom fit your physique. We’re a young, energetic, and talented group that understands both traditional and modern fashion trends. This is what sets us apart from your typical cleaners & alteration businesses. We understand that our bodies come in different shapes and sizes. So we treat our customers and their fashion visions with care and respect. We listen to your alteration needs and offer our artisan expert guidance in achieving that unique look that sets you apart from off-the-rack fashion sizes.
Our mission at Marin Tailor is to create high-quality custom-fitted clothing that's designed to your exact body shape and size, with sincerity, originality, and pride.
Did you know?
A good tailor is not just a craftsman who fixes your suits and dresses. A seasoned tailor does custom work on T-shirts, Joggers, PJ’s, Shorts, Swim Trunks, Sweaters, Hoodies, Jerseys, and more. Customers are often shy about what articles of clothing are made for tailoring or simply unaware of how to ask. The truth is almost all articles of clothing are tailor-ready. So don’t be shy and just ask!
These are some basic tailoring terms we see our customers reference when they walk in through the front door:
Hem
A hem in sewing is a garment finishing method, where the edge of a piece of cloth is folded and sewn to prevent unraveling the fabric and adjust the length of the piece in garments, such as at the end of the sleeve or the bottom of a garment.
Taper
Commonly referred to as “slim down.” This means giving the appearance of a piece of clothing that gets narrower either at the top or bottom or both.
