When summer arrives, suits don’t have to be black. More and more of our clients in North London are bringing in suits in bold seasonal colours, from dusty pinks and sage greens to soft cream linens.

But regardless of colour or fabric, there’s one issue we hear again and again:

“I’m in between sizes, so I went bigger and figured I’d get it tailored.”

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Off-the-peg suits rarely fit perfectly. That’s where we come in.

The Most Common Suit Alterations We Do

At IMAGE Tailors in Finsbury Park, we specialise in professional alterations for suits, helping our clients across Islington, Crouch End, and Greater London achieve the perfect fit.

Jacket Alterations

• Taking in the waist for a sharper silhouette

• Shortening jacket length to balance your proportions

• Adjusting jacket sleeves so they hit at just the right spot

Trouser Alterations

• Tapering trousers for a modern, streamlined look

• Shortening trousers for the right break

• Taking in the waist for better comfort and hold

Additional Alteration Services

• Lengthening jackets or trousers (if enough fabric is available)

• Letting out trousers at the waist or thigh for a better fit

Why Alterations Matter

Whether you're preparing for a wedding, an interview, or a summer event, tailored clothes boost confidence and comfort. Instead of settling for a poor fit, small adjustments can transform how you look, and how you feel.

At IMAGE Tailors, we’ve helped hundreds of Londoners achieve just that.
