A well-fitted suit jacket can completely transform your appearance—sharpening your silhouette, boosting your confidence, and showing off your style. But even high-end jackets can fall short if they don’t fit just right. Whether it’s a little too loose at the waist, the sleeves feel off, or the shoulders don’t sit correctly, professional suit jacket alterations can make all the difference.

At AB Suit Alterations, we specialise in adjusting and refining suit jackets with precision tailoring that brings out the best in every garment.

Why Choose Suit Jacket Alterations?

Suit jackets are one of the most structured and visually important parts of any formal outfit. Unlike trousers or shirts, their tailoring directly affects your posture, the line of your shoulders, and the balance of your overall look.

If your jacket is too long, too bulky, or doesn’t move naturally with your body, it can spoil an otherwise elegant outfit. That’s why having your jacket professionally altered by an experienced tailor is essential—especially for special occasions, work, or interviews.

Common Suit Jacket Alterations We Offer

At AB Suit Alterations, we handle all aspects of suit jacket tailoring, including:

  • Shortening or lengthening sleeves – with or without working buttonholes
  • Taking in or letting out the sides and back seams – for a neater silhouette
  • Narrowing shoulders – to enhance structure and fit
  • Adjusting lapels and collar roll – for a cleaner line around the neck
  • Realigning or replacing linings – improving comfort and wear
  • Shortening jacket length – without losing the jacket’s balance
  • Button repositioning or replacement – for style or functionality
  • General repairs and restyling – to modernise older pieces

We work on jackets from all brands, whether off-the-peg or designer, and we’re happy to advise on what can (and should) be altered for the best outcome.

Tailoring That Balances Style and Comfort

Our skilled team of tailors understand how to enhance a suit jacket’s structure without compromising its integrity. We consider your body shape, height, movement, and purpose for the garment—whether it’s for daily office wear or your wedding day.

We treat every suit with care, ensuring that all alterations look and feel natural—as though the jacket was made just for you.
