The Valet Shop, Inc - Shop NY (Near Binghamton)

5 /5 Luke Cho: One of the best tailors in all of New York State! John flawlessly fixed the holes in my Brooks Brothers chino pockets using higher quality and more durable materials than the original, all with an affordable price range, in abundance with bespoke Italian tailoring craftsmanship!

4 /5 S Beaudette: The work I had done was very good, the end product was faultless. That said, I wont be coming back because of the negative experience. Other people gave very positive feedback about the proprietor, but I felt uncomfortable. The tailor was helping other customers before me who were clearly uncomfortable with the price of a suit rental, and he was unsympathetic to them, ignoring the young mans name and calling him "Johnny," and barking orders for him to stand up, move here, etc. I came in to have a suit jacket altered that I bought. It was too big and I knew it, but I liked the suit and thought I could have it altered. I was berated for buying a jacket that was too big for me. He quoted me $120 for the alterations. I wish I wouldve shopped elsewhere, but I felt pressured to accept since I was made to feel foolish for intentionally buying a jacket that was big. I dont know how much actual work was required, he only chalked two lines on the back of the jacket very quickly. But Ive had good alterations done in another city to take fabric out of the torso before that cost me under $40. Again, the work was impeccable, and I dont know what comparative prices are in this area, and I dont know how difficult the alteration actually was. But had I known the price and attitude beforehand, I would not have gone. The tailors attitude is a kind of rough charm that Im sure many find endearing, and if you dont balk at price youll get very good work. I went there a few months ago, and its still hanging around in my mind, so I wanted to post in case anyone like me would appreciate it.

5 /5 Jeffrey Thacher: Ive never met an artisan so passionate about their work in my life. With johns attention to detail and sense of style he guided me through what could have been a very stressful process. He made me a beautiful suit for my wedding tailored to fit me perfectly and I couldnt be happier with it. This suit is one of my most prized possessions now and Ill be able to wear it for many occasions. I highly recommend this shop to anyone.

5 /5 Zak Landers: I felt compelled to write a review (not something I do often) because of the outstanding service and perfect end-product I received at The Valet Shop. The Owner/Operator, John, is a consummate professional and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk into the shop. Hes an old-school Italian with a quick wit, and he will tell it like it is, but dont mistake this for dismissiveness — this man has decades of experience and knowledge, and can tell you exactly which alterations will best serve you, which sizes you are, which colors & styles will work best for your situation, etc, all at a glance. John will listen patiently and work with you to get you looking your best. I personally tried a few of his suggestions that I normally wouldnt have selected, and I am very happy I did. Trusting his judgement and expertise will guarantee you end up feeling classy and comfortable in clothing that fits perfectly. His work might be a little pricier than chain stores or discount places, but you truly get what you pay for. Having respectable, tailored clothing, made of quality materials is an investment to be sure, but a necessary one that every man of a certain age-onward should make. Spending a little more now will pay off for years to come. I can say with certainty that Ill be a customer of The Valet Shop as long as they stick around. Youre not going to find better tailoring anywhere in the Binghamton area. Go in with respect, expect to have a laugh or two, and trust Johns judgement — youre going to be very happy you did. Thanks for the great suit, John. See you for the next one.
