Richie was INCREDIBLE! I contacted him to help with the suits for my wedding. I had gotten them through an online service, and they needed further tailoring to get that perfect fit. I sent him pictures of the suit in two sizes that I had tried on to ask which he thought would be the better fit. He responded to the inquiry same day with advice on how to proceed, and we had a phone conversation afterward to go over specifics. He drove 2 hours to meet myself and two of my groomsmen for the fitting, and took the pieces with him back to his shop. The groomsmen were getting simple alterations, whereas I pretty much asked Richie to reconstruct my suit. I don't think there was anything that stayed untouched. Sleeves, chest, back, collar, and shoulders on the jacket, sleeves and chest on my shirt, and hem, taper, and seat adjustments on the pants. After about a week, he contacted me again to let me know the suits were ready.
I have had suits custom cut for me in the past, and none of them fit as well as this online purchased suit after Richie was done with it. It just felt good to wear, and I got compliments on it the entire day and night. Although the rest of my groomsmen looked good in their suits, there was a clear difference between the ones that took theirs to the local dry cleaner and the three of us that decided to use Richie. I am even going to bring my other suits and my work uniform to have him tailor those as well. He definitely earned himself a lifelong customer.
You get what you pay for, and if you want dry cleaner prices, you're going to get dry cleaner results. If you want a guy who does nothing but professional tailoring and who takes pride in the work he does and will bend over backwards to get you what you need and get you looking right, call Richie.

Richie is redefining the art of tailoring. Not only is he a master at his craft (with more knowledge of styles and quality of clothing than anyone I know), he ‘gets it’ with the convenience factor of offering in-home services. I had huge closets and an armoire stuffed with years of clothes of various sizes and styles. I thought about lugging everything to my local tailor, who seemed uninterested. With nowhere else to turn, I came to the internet of all places, and came across his thumbtack profile. Richie quickly put my mind at ease during our first conversation when I explained some recent weight changes. He explained what could or should not be done, and asked me to send some pics of my stuff. He offered to alter what he could, and mentioned he could bring a clothing showroom to my home to shop from! From there, we booked an appointment. I was blown away by his knowledge and professionalism. Richie totally nailed my tastes with a selection of new business and casual items. Some of which I would have never thought of on my own. After our first visit, he marked up stuff from my existing wardrobe, and my new purchases of pants, sports coat, and a couple suits. Before he left, we went through my closets looking at every piece - and did a MASS clean out. He explained what’s not in style anymore and why, and explained why some of the stuff I had should be donated. My closets are now refreshingly manageable, with only things I will actually wear. All of this alone was a priceless service to me. Life changing. It didn’t end there, he helped complete my looks by sending me info on amazing shoes and shirts with a perfect fit for my size.
His turnaround times were very reasonable, especially in the middle of prom season and summer vacations. I’ve already started referring him to others whom I know are discerning women and men, and he’s the epitome of professional.
I hope you get the chance to work with him yourself!
Thank you Richie!!

Richie is YOUR TAILORING / ALTERATIONS GUY! There’s simply nothing that Richie cannot tailor or alter when it comes to clothing. Richie worked on a high number of clothing items of mine and each one of them were tailored to absolute perfection. Clothes that I have had for a long time felt completely new with Richie’s work. I had four (4) suit sets, six (6) t-shirts, two (2) business shirts, a quarter zip and numerous chinos / business pants tailored by Richie. This volume was absolutely no worries for him! Furthermore, I have never seen such professionalism and precision with a tailor before like Richie. From Brooklyn, Richie made his way personally to my apartment on the Jersey City waterfront to do his size ups on myself and his precision and attention to detail was bar none. I completely got on really well with Richie, he is such an easy person to chat to and you could have a great conversation and feel absolutely comfortable in his presence. True charisma!
Some shirts and suits I have not worn for a very long time due to myself cutting weight and adding muscle mass, yet, with Richie’s sizing, these clothing items are as though they’re brand new and I feel and look like a million dollars when I wear them. Some of my favorite were slimming the sleeves on my t-shirts, made me look bigger than what I normally am! Richie’s magic! The confidence I feel after Richie’s tailoring is unreal. I should mention, one suit I needed urgently before a Christmas party on the week of, Richie understood the urgency and prioritized my suit reshaping and personally delivered my suit to my from Brooklyn to Jersey City. That sort of service is simply what sets Richie apart from anyone. There’s so much more that I can write! I appreciate Richie’s work and absolutely will go no where else other than himself when it comes to tailoring and alterations. Thank you very much Richie!

Stop looking, and do yourself a favor - work with Richie. Had a three piece slim cut men's suit that needed alterations for my girlfriend.
I recevied a response from my request within hours and had a date scheduled right away. Richie came to the house, and we instantly felt comfortable with him. Very personable, very professional, very knowledgable - and he found a way to make the entire experience feel relaxed and special at the same time.
He not only fitted the suit, but suggested an alteration to the dress shirt as well. We knew it was going to look amazing from the pinning alone. Fast forward a week or so, and we had a perfectly tailored suit that even put the bridal party to shame.
The only problem we had was the realization that we now want everything tailored by Richie and his team and will have to budget accordingly. 12/10 will work with him again

Title: Tailoring Perfection with Richie - A True Master of His Craft
I can't recommend Richie highly enough! He has managed to completely elevate my wardrobe with his extraordinary tailoring skills. Not only is he a masterful tailor, but he also possesses a range of qualities that truly set him apart.
Richie is the epitome of professionalism - punctual, organized, and consistently delivering exceptional results. He complements his professional demeanor with a friendly and approachable personality. He was always ready to listen to my needs, no matter how specific, and turn them into action.
Richie's extensive knowledge about tailoring is undeniable. He combines traditional methods with modern techniques, always considering the individual's physique and personal style. In my case, as someone with a muscular build, he did a commendable job accentuating my shape perfectly.
One of the standout aspects of Richie's service is his commitment to convenience. He makes house calls, which is a huge plus if you lead a busy life like me. The fact that he respects his clients' homes enough to remove his shoes before entering speaks volumes about his attention to detail and respect for his clients.
I initially hired Richie to tailor five suits and two blazers for a significant business event, with a rather tight deadline. Richie not only met the deadline but also exceeded my expectations with the quality of his work. His keen eye for detail ensured that each piece was a perfect fit. The confidence I felt wearing these perfectly tailored clothes was priceless.
Richie's prices are incredibly fair, especially when you consider the quality of work. His service provides excellent value for money, and I was more than satisfied with the investment.
To anyone in NY or NJ in need of tailoring services, especially those who prefer the convenience of house calls, don't hesitate to hire Richie. I can confidently say I've found my go-to tailor who's trustworthy, reliable, and undeniably talented. Richie is simply the best in the business!
