At Aneita’s, we perform all types of alterations on all types of clothing. You can bring in anything from business suits to sweat pants. We can taper garments in, or let them out, if there is room in the seams. We hem or cuff slacks, and shorten or lengthen sleeves. We also put in new zippers and mend holes. Our staff has been professionally altering clothes for many years, and will handle your garments with a professional attitude and an experienced eye.
Our normal turn-around time for regular clothing is approximately two weeks. Rush jobs are available with an extra 30% rush fee. Some special jobs, such as relining a coat or slacks, take longer. Our prices our competitive and estimates can be given in person or over the phone for basic items. We also require that all garments must be cleaned prior to alterations. It is also recommended with all clothing that need the length altered, to bring in the shoes that you will be wearing with that particular garment.
Coats
We install zippers in all types of coats, including leather. If your zipper does not work, there may be two options. Most of the time the zipper itself is damaged and will need to be replaced. Occasionally, the zipper is in tact and the problem is the zipper pull. If this is the case, we can usually just replace the pull for a lesser charge. Aneita’s also mends tears in leather coats, or replaces knit cuffs. We also sew patches onto letter jackets.
Jeans
Don’t throw away that pair of jeans yet, Aneita’s Alterations mends jeans. We try to make the patches as invisible as possible, by patching jeans with denim. We can also use bright colors or handkerchiefs to make the patches fashionable.
When hemming jeans, we have a variety of colors of "jean thread," a thicker thread that matches the stitching already in your pants, to give your hem a more professional look. We can also reattach the original hem, a "tricky hem," for an additional charge.
Military
We sew nametapes, rank, stripes, and other patches on all military uniforms. We have experience with most branches of the military, and are familiar with most types of patches. There are some that we are not familiar with, so it is helpful is you can give us instructions on unusual patches.
