About us
Toowoomba Tailorhouse brings alterations to your door: menswear, and women's suiting too. Our fitter comes to your home, measures and pins everything and answers your questions. Our experienced tailors, each with decades of experience, then do the work in the workshop, and we bring the finished garments back.
Fitting at home means you're pinned in the shirt and shoes you'll actually wear, and you never drive across town to drop off or pick up.
Questions
How long does it take?
Most jobs come back within 2 business days of pickup, or 1 business day with rush. If you have a date to hit, like a wedding or an interview, tell us when you book and we'll tell you straight away whether we can make it.
Can you do a rush job?
Yes. Tick rush when you book and we'll return your garments in 1 business day instead of the usual 2. Rush is $20 per alteration on jackets and waistcoats and $10 per alteration on trousers, jeans and shirts, including GST, and we'll confirm the return time by phone, text or email.
Which suburbs do you cover?
Toowoomba City, postcode 4350. There's no travel fee in Toowoomba. We book online for 4350 only. Outside that area, call 0417 971 623 and we'll arrange it directly. A travel fee may apply, and we'll quote it on the phone.
What does it cost?
Every job has a published price, from $8 to re-hem a single trouser leg up to $300 for a full jacket relining. We confirm the exact quote at the fitting, before any work starts. See the full price list.
How do I pay?
Your final price is confirmed at your first visit, before any work starts. You pay at the end of that first visit, once the fitting is done and before your garments leave with us. Card only; we don't take cash at this stage.
What if the fit isn't right?
We'll fix it. We check the fit with you at the handover visit, and if something isn't right we take it back and put it right.
Do you alter womenswear?
Yes, we alter women's suiting, and dress wear is on its way. Menswear is where we shine: jackets, suit trousers, dress shirts, waistcoats and jeans. Not sure about a job? Call us and we'll tell you straight away.
Got something that doesn't fit?
