About us
Over eighty years at the bench.
May Tailoring is an alterations and tailoring shop in Islington. Our motto has always been “professional tailoring”, and our work is our passion. Between us we have more than 80 years of experience.
We are one of the few shops that can shorten a jacket sleeve from the shoulder, so the cuffs and buttons stay as they were, and we take on special relining work for jackets and coats.

“I have done around 20 pieces there. From fixing suits to shorten dressed and to change llwinter coats and linings. Done an amazing job! I just got my favorite winter coat changed to be more fitted today. Absolutely love it! Never disappointed, high quality tailors.”
