About
A tailoring studio built around the fitting room
Metropolitan Tailoring works from 357 S Old Woodward Ave in downtown Birmingham, creating custom clothing for men and women and refining ready-made garments until they fit properly.
Our Approach
Measured, personal, unhurried
Most people have owned a garment that almost worked. The shoulders were close, the sleeves nearly right, the waist a compromise. Our work begins where that compromise ends — with measurements taken in person and decisions made together.
For custom clothing, that means discussing where and how the garment will be worn before selecting cloth or details, then reviewing the fit at each stage. For alterations, it means assessing what a garment can honestly become, and saying so.
We work with clients across Birmingham and the surrounding communities — from first suits and wedding parties to long-standing clients who bring us everything they own.
“A garment should fit the person, their posture, and the life they live in it.”
