These guys are the best. I take all of my uniforms into them to get altered and they come back perfect each time. Staff is friendly and prices are good. Try them out and see what I mean. Hurry though. I hear they are closing in a few months. Super awful!!!!

I was looking for a place to get my pants hemmed and my friend suggested this one and I am so glad I went. It was supposed to be a one time visit to drop off a couple pairs of pants but I was so pleased with the outcome that when I got home Immediately started going through my closet to see what else needed tailoring. This is now my new favorite spot for all my tailoring needs. The service is exceptional and the turn around time is fast. Every time I go I am so pleased!

I've been going to the Tailoring Room for 3 years and counting. As a little person, I need most of my clothing tailored (my suits, shirts, pants, swim trunks, jackets etc) and there's no one I trust more than Ms. Andrea, Mr. Frankie and their amazing team of tailors to get me RIGHT. They're the best at what they do, they make sure I walk out of their shop with PERFECTLY fitting garments, and on top of all that, they're really sweet people. They're the best in the city hands down! Grateful for their services and grateful for their friendship too!

Came in to get my pants hemmed as a first-time customer. Frank and the guys were nice people and the experience was personable. Great prices as well. Will come back, if need be.

Looking for a good tailor? Read this. I read many tailors on Styleforums. And this is the one I recommend. Why? Because most "tailors" focus on speed. You want quality. Frank told me what I needed to hear. If a shirt was short, he would tell me. Frank has over 12 years of tailoring experience. You want a tailor who is honest with you. With many tailors in New York, you want the right one for your money. Frank has tailored my chinos, 2 dress shirts, and dress pants. This is a no-brainer. If you are looking for a tailor to trust, ask Frank. He will take care of you.

A poor experience. We went today 11/20/23 to pick up a jacket to shorten the arms. When she went to try it on, we noticed a disparity with uneven sleeves. He gaslit and said it wasn’t him and that it was because her arms were uneven or manufacturer fault. He said he didn’t have the time to care for a $25 job and that we shouldn’t be looking for perfection and if so, to do it ourselves or go elsewhere. So if there wasn’t a problem with his alterations, why did he admit it wasn’t done ‘perfectly’? Excuse us for wanting something done properly. To further prove that it was his work and not us (or her arms being two different lengths), we went to the tailor shop opposite who confirmed our suspicions. Don’t go there if you want to deal with indignity and if your job is deemed unworthy by them (it was a lululemon jacket). Here’s proof of the disparity in length taken at the other tailors.

Very poor job is hemming my sleeves and re-attachment of my cuffs to the sleeves. Echoing a previous review of terrible workmanship (because it was deemed too cheap of a job to matter), extremely rude tailor (the old, short, chubby man who does the work/takes the measurements). To expect even hems was apparently asking for ‘perfection’. In addition, he created a hole/tear on my brand new jacket. I have never left a review but felt compelled to. I believe if we were w h i t e, we wouldn’t have been treated with such contempt despite being calm and non aggressive (he was very defensive and wanted to blame the manufacturer for his lack of measuring properly the sleeves which were uneven and fixed elsewhere after confirming our suspicions).

I've been to The Tailoring Room twice, both times for pretty simple alterations: the first time to shorten a shirt, and second time to take in the waist on a pair of pants. I don't remember the exact price for shortening the shirt, but the second job was $35, and I remember first job being roughly similarly priced. This is expensive, but I was very impressed with the quality and the attention to detail on the alterations. I truly couldn't tell that either piece had been altered: the pants looked identical to when I brought them in, and the shirt was expertly hemmed, even all the way down to the new side vent that they put on the shirt. I recommend this place for high-quality alterations that respect the details of your garments - it'll cost you, but you can trust that they'll do a good job. Some other notes: - They're cash-only, and there's no ATM on site - They have three changing rooms (really just repurposed closets) - They do not work with leather, velvet or gowns

It pains me to have to write this review, because I really had hoped I had found my go-to tailor after reading all the positive reviews. I hope that by writing this review, it sets expectations for anyone looking to patronize this establishment. I brought in a pair of pants to have hemmed. This was my third time having something altered. The end result of the first experience was good, but the man was not very warm. He did not greet me or let me know he would be with me shortly for about a period of ten minutes after entering. I was a little put off by that experience but just chalked it up to a one-time thing. I did not want to be so quick to judge and the end result of the garment alteration was good. The second time, the result was slightly uneven, but I accepted it. I was serviced by the same man with the same demeanor this time as well. This third and final time, the end result was very poor. The woman was very nice, but she told me all tailoring work is supposed to look like this along with several other excuses. I feel tailors will say it was a difficult fabric to work with when the end result does not come out looking professional. I did not feel this fabric was particularly troublesome and have since brought the pants to be fixed at another tailor who also confirmed this. I would have chosen not to get them hemmed at all had I known this would be the end result. I feel the pictures speak for themselves. If you are looking to have something hemmed and are satisfied with this type of skill for twenty-five dollars, then this place is okay. When I got home, I showed my roommate who used to work in the garment industry as a former seamstress. She shook her head and said this level of craftsmanship was unacceptable and unprofessional.

I needed kids school pants hemmed with next day service. They charged $15 per pair. Seems steep to me but buyer beware.

Have been going here for years and love this place. Amazing work. Bring tricky problems and they will find clever solutions! Extended the life on many of my favorite garments, tailored many shirts and pants and made it possible for me to wear my grandmothers tiny dress from the 40s!!!

I bought a pair of Japanese raw selvedge jeans I wasn't quite happy with the fit of. Brought them here to be tapered. The work was flawless and done in 5 days, not 5 weeks as with other denim speciality tailors. I'll definitely be back here.

Me and my boyfriend have been going to them for years and they never disappoint. Whether it's an easy hem or a total overhaul of a garment, they know what they're doing and they're meticulous. On the off chance that a thread or hem loosens, they're ready to rectify it. So happy I found this place.

This place is a little expensive, in a good way. I dropped off a skirt I got from Modcloth with annoyingly delicate fabric and my boyfriend's thrifted pair of jeans (Burberry ooooh haha) ... the jeans were hemmed for $10 and the skirt cost $35 to be taken in at the waist. I chose this place mainly because I was worried that other places might be careless and do something to snag the fabric of the skirt - it is made of polyester, made to look and feel like silk. Did I mention very delicate? Like the other reviews promised, the woman who works here was very careful, had me try on there, pinned it while it was on, asked if I wanted it to be hemmed in a flared way or a more A-line way. Both items came back in very good condition. =) The skirt now fits snugly at the waist and the hemming was great of course. Future jeans will be getting dropped off at a 5$ hemming place though! (side note: I was so excited to have the skirt wearable that I wore it around the house after getting it back, dropped a *tiny* crumb on it which somehow left a big oil stain, and I had to spray-and-wash it immediately. ugh. If it weren't for those star shaped pockets ... and the fact that it's a yellowy-gold color...)

- really professional and personable staff - a little out of the way for me to go to patch small things like holes but the ONLY place I'll go for alterations - very reasonable cost for the results - depending on how busy they are can be anywhere from a week to a month for job completion so keep that in mind when dropping off

Extremely happy I found this business! Read all the great reviews and decided to give them a shot. Needed 2 pairs of pants altered, wanted the width reduced on both pairs, cuffs added, and the waist taken in on one pair. A decent sized sewing job. Very friendly and professional. Quickly measured me and gave me a pretty reasonable price. You have to wait about 2 weeks since they are very busy but it's a small price to pay for quality, as long as you have the time to spare. Cash only btw. I am super satisfied with the final results, the pants look great! You'd never tell they were tailored. Owner is so nice and pleasant to work with. I will absolutely be going back.

This is the best tailor I have found in over a decade in NYC. I work in garment production (tailors, patternmakers, etc), so I believe I have a pretty good idea when a tailor knows their craft. Everything they have ever recommended/advised has been absolutely correct, and their work reflects this. The one down side is that is on average about $5 more expensive per item than most other locations, but if you care about your garment it is worth the extra money to make sure it is down correctly!!!

this place is great for simple jobs - fixing straps, hemming pants, installing zippers in simple garments. However with each subsequent visit I noticed their work getting sloppier. They dont mark or pin each leg so the hem can be a bit uneven. The fitting process is rushed and the woman seems annoyed if you make to many adjustments. Also adding hook and eye closures are impossible for them. Im not sure I'd trust them with more complicated jobs or my expensive clothing. If your willing to take a gamble and have cheap items that need alterations this place is good because of the low prices.

nightmare tailoring job. I headed to this place with 5 pants, 1 jacket, and 2 shirt. The owner was friendly while his wife is NOT. I tried and dropped my cloths off . After three wk of waiting finally I got a call that they are ready. I went there to pick up my stuffs. Once I tried them, to my surprise, none of the garments , except the shirt, were properly altered/tailored . The owner apologized and asked for redoing. I said fine. Two wks after, it was the same story .They altered the pants n jackets too short this times... make long story short, after three trips and burning $180 finally I got my stuffs. 2 Shirts are OK. but 4 new pants are NOT wearable. They destroyed the fabric. I donated them. Do not waste your time, cloths n money there.They do not know what they are doing.STAY AWAY

I went to the tailoring room with a dress I want to wear for my wedding that has a few issues (too big, has place-holding thread that was erroneously left on the garment and needs the top reworked a bit, perhaps having a bra built in). Their website and reviews on here say they do "dress transformations," which is what I want so I went down to the LES with my dress. I was greeted by an adorable dog, then a woman. I don't know if it was because it was a Friday afternoon or because it's a wedding dress, but she was not interested in helping me at all. She didn't have me try on the dress or anything. She merely shook her head and asked me why I couldn't just return the dress. After reading all the reviews on here, I had thought that this would be able to help me, but unfortunately, they didn't even want to try and that's what's truly disappointing.

Everyone else's reviews are spot on. I get almost everything altered because I am hard to fit, and Andrea is amazing to work with. I buy a lot of vintage that I then bring to her to fit, and you can't tell her work apart from the original construction. I bring her brand new with tags on, and she helps me try it on and pin it 19 ways before advising me whether or not the fix will be worth what she'll have to charge me. ("For this... I'd have to charge you $75, because of the lining... and it might still pucker. So, maybe not worth it to keep if you can return?") She is unfailingly honest even when it means she loses out on the job, which is why I trust her so implicitly. That, and she hasn't messed up a single one of the, oh, 25 things I've brought her over the last 2 years. Fair warning: They are not the lowest-cost provider. As a ballpark, I've paid anything from $15 to take in the shoulders on a dress and a tricky pants hem to $75 to hem a full skirt all the way around and take in the bust. That said, I don't part with my money easily at all, and I keep going back to Andrea because, as I said above, I trust her to be honest with me about what it will look like at the end, and then to execute flawlessly upon her promise. She hasn't let me down once yet.

Went to this shop to get a suit tailored after reading the great reviews on Yelp. 3 week wait on all items. Really??? The power of Yelp? Hire more people if you have positive buzz. Lame. Giving them one-star until they staff up.

Don't get me wrong, my drycleaner in the Bronx is excellent: All of my silks (and by silks, I mean polyesters) are returned minus blemishes. But when it comes to tailoring, I kind of want to rip my hair out a little. She's attentive, listening patiently to my requests. And she executes the job accordingly, but the garments always come back looking... off. Now, at one point, I went through a 50s-dress-purchasing phase. The fabrics are decent; the cuts form-appropriate, but they are just a little too long, too modest. In some cases, verging on frumpy. But there was no way in hell that I was handing them over to my French Drycleaner that's actually Korean. That would equal instant death for my (potentially) pretty things. So I maybe wore them once and then left them to languish and collect dust in my closet. Enter Emily G. and Aileen L., waxing excited about a tailor in the LES who's diligent without cleaning out your wallet (My drycleaner charged $25 to sew a button back onto a trench coat. P.S. She sewed it incorrectly - I now have a dysfunctional left pocket.) Seems awfully far to travel for a tailor, doesn't it? (I live in Washington Heights.) Yes, but what's life without a little adventure? Thus, I became acquainted with Andrea and her wonder team. Before making the trip, at home, I took some shoddy measurements, thinking I would just arrive and tell her how much to lop off. You know, minimize the fuss on business premises. But Andrea urged me to try every article on so that we could evaluate it together, properly. With every item, she gently proffered honest and sage advice when prompted. The garments did take a while to be transformed (~1.5 weeks), but I'm sure that if I were in a rush, they would have done their best to accommodate me. Most importantly, I was extremely pleased with the results. The dresses were cut exactly according to my specifications. I walked out feeling like I had gained a sizeable new chunk of wardrobe (minus the buyer's remorse). Now, I just have to resist getting sucked into a tailoring binge...

If you are on a budget, The Tailoring Room is not for you. They are VERY EXPENSIVE relative to other tailors. However, if you only care about the quality of the alternations, then this place is for you. I brought in 3 suits, 2 sport jackets, 5 pairs of pants, and a dress shirt. The fit was perfect on all articles except for one double-breasted suit, which they immediately fixed as I waited while I was picking up my clothes. Obviously, the more explicit you are with them at your fitting, the better your end product will be. Turnaround time is long (a week or more), but worth the wait. Having had clothes absolutely ruined by dry-cleaner alterations, I think it's worthwhile to get quality work done and not ruin your threads.

I randomly decided to buy a vintage wool coat at a thrift shop for 10$ even though it needed some major alterations. This little shop is run by just two people, both who are very nice. While other shops charge 30$ for the sleeves of coats to be hemmed, The Tailoring Room charges only 18$. On top of the reasonable prices, I also appreciated all the advice and expertise she gave me on altering my coat. She explained what needed to be done and what was unnecessary for my 10$ wool coat to be fitted for my petite frame. Unless I find another place that offers fair prices and intimate care, I'll be going back to this little shop.

London, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Charlotte, Dubai, Shanghai What do all these places have in common? 1) I've had off-the-rack clothing tailored in these places 2) All the work done in those cities on my clothing has been inferior to what The Tailoring Room has done for me Yes yes, you may troll and gasp and scream that I'm exaggerating. But to this day I still have not found a better tailor. They've done wonderous things for the suits that I have brought in, fitting the jackets perfectly to my body type. And, the most improtant part, they notice small details, like how my shoulders are slightly off balance, and then adjust my garments accordingly. But what really sealed the deal with this place was the coat I brought in to be tailored. After having lost 70 pounds I thought that surely my winter coat was a goner. But after bringing it here, it was completely indistinguishable from a brand new coat purchased two sizes smaller. To be sure, this place isn't the cheapest. That said, it is no where close to extremely expensive either. But quality wise its worth every penny.

This guy is the bomb. He really is. You can go to him with the confidence that he will do a good job, he will listen and you will be satisfied with the product. It's so hard to find a good, well-priced tailor in manhattan that you can trust. This guy is all of the above and a real asset to the area. Had a nice suit altered there and a pair of jeans hemmed and will definitely return.

The best tailor in NYC. If an item can be successfully altered, Franklin can do it. In the past, I've had shirts taken in by lesser tailors, and it's been a complete waste of money. I've gotten a lot of items altered here--suits, button down shirts, pants--and I've always been happy with the outcome. Pay close attention when he is pinning your item and tell him then if you want it tighter, looser, shorter, etc. How he pins it is how it will turn out.

Stitch-work is probably the best in the city, however the cutting and measuring is poor, I usually put up with incorrect lengths bc the work was done so well, but after one instance never again. They cut the left leg of a $200 pair of jeans way too high, at first they said they'd replace to the jeans, but they ended up just putting a patch on the jeans to make them a little longer. Really disappointed they ruined my best pair of jeans and not even stick to their word of replacing them.

I brought in two fine cashmere wool overcoats that I'd bought years before at a Barney's warehouse sale. They were simply too large. But the guys Herr ate really skilled pros. They were able to take the coats on and they fit perfectly now. In addition, I also brought them some old suits of mine which were simply too big to begin with, but more especially so since I'd lost quite a bit of weight. The tailor was very honest with me and explained that it would cost more to make them fit me than to just buy new suits. And even then, they wouldn't fit as nicely because what I was asking for was a reconstruction, not merely an alteration of the suit. Turning away business is an indicator that these guys aren't trying to scam you. Very glad I did end up buying new suits. I use these guys now for all my major alterations.

The first thing that I look for in a tailor is Quality. The tailoring room is top quality. If anything is off from their tailoring they will remake it for you free of charge until the fit is right. I've tried the cleaners/tailoring places before, however the quality is never up to par with a place that specializes in tailoring. They used to have a 2 week turn around because they were so popular, however they've upped their production and still kept the quality with a one week turnaround. The second thing is that the tailor knows about the current fashion and he can give you advice on what would look the best. He's got an eye for fashion and will give you the honest truth as to whether something needs to be tailored or not. I've gotten almost my entire work wardrobe tailored with him and every single piece is great. I just recently moved back to Los Angeles and I will miss this place dearly. I only wished I had gotten around to tailoring all my suits and pants here before I left. This is not the cheapest place to go to. Keep in mind you are paying for the quality. However with that being said, the prices are fair and not over priced. You get what you pay for and having that peace of mind that your clothes are in good hands.

This review is a bit delayed but better I just remembered I should write one when I wore my one of my altered pieces yesterday. I am petite and always in need of alterations. I've gotten simple alterations (shorten hem, lost button, waist narrow) at the nearby dry cleaner and department stores but after a blotched alteration I decided I needed to find someone more experienced for my beloved Theory dress which was too big but also too pretty to return. After reading the tailoring room's multiple good reviews i decided to give it a try. The dress was 2 sizes too large but they pinned it carefully and made sure I understood what to expect after it was done. It was a lot of work but I thought the price was reasonable. I also brought in a dress that was made too narrow on the bottom and they came up with a simple solution and placed a back slit in it and finished the seams ($8). The turnaround time was 10 days and I was very happy with the result.

I was looking for a tailoring place that didn't charge $15 for a simple pant hem (all unlined plain Express pants) and randomly came across the tailoring room. They hemmed 10 pairs of pants for me and the length was perfect on all 10 pairs so needless to say, I go to them for everything that I need tailored. The best part was that I think it was $5 or $6 per pair of pants! I've since taken other items to them for alterations, three dresses to them for various alterations, one to adjust the straps on a silk dress, another to hem a 3 layered silk/satin ball gown which I'm sure was hard work since the hemline was tiiiiny and the fabric was delicate and floaty and she did a fabulous job, and the most recent is to make a strapless silk dress with tulip skirt look more like a tulip than a parachute on my 5'0" frame. I didn't get the dress back yet but I am 100% sure that it will come out fabulous. Oh and I am the worst about getting my items altered before a special occassion and wait until the last minute but they always manage get it done within my time frame and do a great job. :)

I hardly write reviews anymore, but as soon as I got home and tried on my NEW** jeans, I had to sit down and give the Tailoring Room five stars. If you're short on time, just know the quality is top-notch and the price is great even for tough jobs. I was having a pair of jeans tapered, which after reading a few style blogs I learned was a super hit-or-miss and potentially risky job. I emailed the Tailoring Room in advace (through their website) to get a quote, and provided the stock dimensions of the jeans and the adjustments I prefered, i.e. how big I'd like the leg opening to be after the job's done. I went in and the measurement took all of eight seconds, and I was out. Two weeks later I have a pair of jeans I don't feel like a dickhead wearing around the neighborhood - in fact, they look great, and you'd never know they were tailored. I'm so fired up about being able to wear these; I haven't since 2009. I basically said 'make these Levis 511s' and they did it. I highly recommend this place if you need harder stuff done. Of course, they do minor jobs too - had a new waist button put on a different pair of jeans and that turned out fine. **Bought five years ago at Diesel in Helsinki, so imagine how they were originally cut.

This place is amazeballs. Dropped off 5 pairs of pants for alterations (10 dollars each), 1 pair that I somehow destroyed zipper (15 dollars), 3 sweaters I adore that I had mysteriously bore holes into (12 dollars each for repair), and a few dresses that needed straps redone (15 each) and one that I needed some serious sparkle things sewn onto (23 dollars). All of my reckless clothes wearing and life living over the last year amounted to only 150 in alterations!!! I've come here for pants to be hemmed and they do quite a high quality job and fit you professionally (unlike some of the dry cleaners who draw a random mark here and there and hope for the best). I've always found workers to be nice and professional, they're definitely honest if they don't think that something is workable, but that's a good thing. Turnaround is a little long (2 weeks currently) because they're popular but hey, good things come to those who wait!

I've been going to them for the past 2 years. Very efficient and reasonable pricing. Also willing to provide insight/advice. Love the fact that they are honest in their opinions. If its not worth $120 to adjust the shoulders of your suit .25 inches, they suggest not doing it. Cash only.

My favorite pair of pants were literally coming apart at the seams. They were fixed perfectly and for only $5. The work here is excellent, the only reason I can't give it five stars is because it can get a little pricey for certain types of hemming, also, the last time I went there was a three week turnaround. Bottom line though, excellent tailoring work.

First time I've dealt with this business I brought in a pair of cargos that needed everything, the waist to be taken in, the thigh as well, a hem, and a taper. The stitching job was unnoticeable, save for a stray thread that was hanging out of the seam. Second time I've done business I brought a pair of jeans that needed some holes patched, and once again, the job was perfectly done in a few days. I'd only complain about the wait because I'm somewhat impatient, but its still a solid business. Don't hesitate to have your tailoring work done here

THIEVES. I took in a suit jacket that required re-sewing. I was quoted $250. I got the job done at another tailor for $90. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Just wanted to reiterate my happiness with this place. I've probably been back 5 times since my review, even though I live in BK and have hundreds of places nearer to me. This isn't a dry cleaner with a sewing machine up front... it's a full time, fully staffed tailoring shop where there's usually 5 or 6 employees working right in front of you. Smiling, happy and extremely nice folks. I almost hate giving them kudos, should they get too popular/busy. But Yelp is about sharing gems and this is one worth your business.

I have had terrible experiences with this place. I brought a pair of shorts here to be altered. They have this policy where they will measure you to do the alterations, but then if the measurements were wrong or the work was badly done and it needs to be worked on a second time -- well, you're flat out of luck. Looks like you have to pay them again. You see where this is going, of course. They have literally no incentive to do good work the first time. Or, you know, do any work at all. Which is exactly what they did for me. They took and measured the shorts and pinned them to show how they would have to be altered. But then when I came back two weeks later, they handed me a completely unaltered garment. Not a garment altered wrongly. Literally a garment that hadn't been worked on at all. All they had done was remove the pins they'd put in when they measured the shorts. Of course they insisted that they had altered everything just as we'd agreed, but you could tell from looking at the shorts that they hadn't done a thing. In fact, I have a friend who owns the same shorts in the same size and after I took them home I compared mine to hers, and yep. My "tailored" shorts were not tailored at all. They remain identical to the unaltered, un-tailored shorts. These people charged me like $40 and did absolutely nothing they had agreed to do. But of course, thanks to the Tailoring Room's "you owe us extra $$ if we fuck up" policy, I'd have to pay them double to get them to actually take it back and do the work they were supposed to have done the first time around. Then another time, before the whole shorts debacle, I gave them a coat to alter in a way that removed certain buttons. I was specific about which buttons I needed kept and asked them to preserve the buttons they removed and return them to me. They ripped out all the buttons and would not return any of them. When I got home I discovered that they had handed me an unusable garment, worse than the one I had brought them in the first place, all because they refused to follow my explicit, clear directions. Do not go here. There people are scammers and there are other tailors in the area who have to be better than this.

Amazing! i go here for anything from jeans to suit jackets. They are very knowledgeable about garment construction, even difficult jobs like suit jackets and pants tapering. Great service, incredibly nice and friendly.

They're great. The work is done impeccably (no tell-tale bumps at the waist when they slimmed down my skirt), and they even offered design suggestions to make it look better seeing as it was dropping a size. Everything I brought, fits like a glove now. Highly recommended. I don't mind the wait, seeing as I never try to get anything tailored in a rush, and the fact that they have lots of business and are busy, is a good sign for me. Be sure to leave a month for tailoring, because it's worth it not to have your expensive clothes ruined by some shoddy work.

Always on the mark, it may be cheaper elsewhere,but I believe you get what you pay for generally. Would recommend their services and skill.

I brought in two quite different suits for tailoring: a generic modern one and a vintage 1960s one. Both were my size but required considerable pinning and tailoring to make it fit perfectly. Andrea spent a good 15 minutes on each suit while I wore it to decide what and how it needed to be worked on. She noticed a lot of things I didn't. It took about 2 1/2 weeks for them to be ready as I said I was in no rush. They were ready on the date she said and when I tried them on, they both fit better than I had even imagined. Highly recommended!

The Tailoring Room has done a wonderful job altering my pants and skirts. The personnel there is very friendly and respectful. They quickly take measures and in a week the clothes are done - everything fit me great! I took my husband there and they altered his pants (seams and sides) very well too. The Tailoring Room is kinda on pricey side though. Nevertheless, it is cheaper to alter a thing than buy a new one.
