on Citysearch Jul 20, 2009Jack is great - charming, professional, genuinely wanting to help. I took a leather jacket with lots of mildew that belonged to my landlord to him. He was honest, said that dry cleaning would not do the job, but that... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 17, 2009After having shoddy work done by tailors where I bought my suits and a couple other drycleaners that do some alterations, I was referred to Jack and now I won't go anywhere else. He knows all of his customers and greets... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 22, 2009* Jack was the original choice to play the lead role in the movie, "Boys Don't Cry". Hilary Swank replaced him because test audiences found him to be gayer than 9 guys blowing 8 guys. * Jack's family crest is a picture... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 23, 2008I needed to hem my new brand name white jeans. So I googled for the best tailor in the area to make sure the job is done well. Jack got more good reviews than anybody else, so I chose him, but the service I got was not what I... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 23, 2008Brought in a blazer to have the collar shortened. The work was not symmetrical, causing slight bulges in the jacket when I put it on, and the stitching was very coarse. In the end, I had to take the jacket to the tailor at J... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 14, 2008I have to say, Jack is AMAZING! I took 10 items there on a Saturday and it was done by Wednesday!!!! I didn't even ask for it to be rushed. He said two weeks to be on the safe side, but WOW!!! And when I was there, he was SO nice.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 11, 2008Jack is an excellent tailor. There is much more to the experience of taking clothing to Jack than his high skill. He takes a pride in his work and his relationship with each customer that is rare in the buisness world... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 22, 2008$18 to do a simple hem on a pair of pants! Out of control. I should have done it myself. Maybe he is worth it for upscale alterations but something that simple? I dropped the pants off and asked how much they would be on the... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 07, 2008Jacks is run by Jack quite naturally. What's impressive is that Jack does everything himself. I've found it quite important that the person doing the altering also do the measurements. The approach a lot of bigger... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 18, 2007I had three dress pants that needed to be significantly be taken in - in the order of 5-6 sizes. When I brought them to Jack, he was very straightforward about how hard it would be, how much it would cost, and whether he... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 08, 2007Of all the tailors I have used in my life, Jack is the best. He even remembers you by first name! He is a great listener and can often give recommendations based on his vast experience. I had a zipper replaced on a jacket... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 25, 2007AVOID GUYS!! Save the effort and money. I took my DKNY trousers for alteration. I was charged a total of $51 = $18 (for pulling in the waist) + $18 (for pulling the seat in) + $15 (for hemming the pants). I know this is... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 14, 2007Every man needs a good tailor and Jack is THE BEST tailor in Boston, bar none. He can take an average suit and make it look great, and if you give him something a bit better ? he can make it look like you flew to Hong Kong for a... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 30, 2007Jack is the best tailor hands down. He takes the time to get to know the customer and tries his best to explain to you why something looks good or looks terrible on you. This is very important. In the world of suit sales,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 25, 2007First off, Jack is a very friendly guy and is all about business. I asked him for the unusual request of adding a drawstring to the waist of a jacket that did not have one. A few days later, I return to the store to find... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 27, 2006Jack did a fabulous job tailoring my two bridesmaid dresses, and delivered in my very limited time constraints. One of the dresses needed "special" tailoring because when I tried it on, lets just say it clung to all... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 21, 2006And it's nice to have a tailor to begin with. Jack hemmed my pants in just a day -- and I brought them only days before Christmas. I got the feeling that if I had needed him to hem them while I waited he would have done that... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 26, 2006I have purchaced a couple of nice designer's shirts online. The shirts fit me fine, except for the sleeves that needed to be altered. I brought them to Jack's, being not sure if they could do the shirts. However, he... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 06, 2006I just went there for the first time to see if he could alter my jeans in the waist for me. He explained to me what i should have done and quickly added a clip so i could tighten them myself instead of having them cut and... (more)
