“Hemmed a pair of trousers, repaired a suit-jacket cuff and re-did a botched sleeve shortening. High standard, very reasonable time, often next day, and fair prices, cheaper than anywhere else in the area.”
“Called in to get a stitch in my partner’s trousers and they did it in 2 minutes. No hassle and very happy to help. Thanks so much guys.”
“Took my graduation dress to get the length shortened and the waist taken in. Quoted a lot more elsewhere. Done within a couple of days and communication was really good.”
“My suit was too long for me. The staff helped with pinning and gave me an idea of how it would look. Work was done super quick within 2 days. Worth it for the quality service.”
“Hanif tailored my trousers exactly how I asked and did it on the same day. Thank you so much, I’ll be back.”

The studio
Careful tailoring, fair prices, quick when it counts
Craft Tailors works out of a studio in Hart Yard on Fish Island, the pocket of makers between Hackney Wick and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It is an alterations and tailoring room, not a rail of ready-made suits.
Customers name Hanif in their reviews for the same reasons: he knows how to make a garment look its best, turns work around quickly, and keeps prices fair. From a two-minute stitch to a suit taken in for a wedding, it is the same careful hand.

Good to know
Questions people ask
How much does an alteration cost?
It is priced per item, because a trouser hem and a full suit adjustment are very different jobs. Prices are kept fair, and reviewers regularly say cheaper than elsewhere in the area. Send a photo on WhatsApp or pop in and you will get a clear price before any work starts.
How quickly can I get it back?
Most alterations are ready in one to two days, and small fixes like a loose button or a quick stitch are often done the same day while you wait. If you need something for a specific date, tell us and we will let you know what is possible.
Do you do womenswear as well as menswear?
Yes. Alongside suits, shirts and trousers we take in dresses, shorten hems and handle occasion and graduation wear. Bring the garment and, if you can, the shoes or belt you will wear with it so we can pin it accurately.
Do I need an appointment?
No appointment is needed for most jobs. Just come to the studio during opening hours, Monday to Saturday 10am to 6pm. For bigger pieces it helps to message first so we can set aside the time.
Where exactly are you?
Studio D08 in Hart Yard, just off Wick Lane on Fish Island, London E3 2JG. It is a few minutes from Hackney Wick Overground and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The map above opens directions straight to the door.
Can you fix a sleeve another tailor got wrong?
Often, yes. We regularly put right work that has been done poorly elsewhere, including sleeves shortened from the shoulder that should have been done from the cuff. Bring it in and we will tell you honestly what can be recovered.
