Yi Kah Tailor Centre (益家洋服中心) - 59 New Upper Changi Rd

Highly skilled tailor

Affordable tailoring service run by a very friendly uncle. Tapering jeans cost around $12. Only downside is that there’s no changing room to try on the tapered clothes.

Tailored 3 pairs of ladies pants. Perfect fit.

Mr Ho is very welcoming tailor from the moment I entered his quaint establishment. I'm very indecisive but he always lets me take my time to go through his wide selection of fabrics, some of which had subtle yet unique patterns and finish! He is also accommodating to specific requests. Prices are reasonable, and I'm happy with the shirts I got. Will go back for dress pants when I need to wear them daily in office.

Intend to alter my pants, make 2 shirts and 2 pants. But from my altering experience, I will give it a miss. With no measure, was suggested to alter 1inch. Since he is an experience tailor, I think should be find. But I ask if after alter can try can alter if not fitting? During collection, I was repeatedly assure that it will be fitting. But insisted to try on, after trying I found it was too big and the center back is not align to my spine. So I ask if it could be alter again to tighter and alter the back too. But it turned too defensive, and told I ask to do 1 inch and never change any other thing, the pants is like that and was questions how much I want to alter. Well, I came to let him make this piece more fitting, I don’t mind altering a few rounds and shouldn't him do some measurements to see what need to be done? I ask if 1/4 inch can be done…oh this one very difficult to do, its not tailor make pants. After some deliberation, I decide to do half inch and move on. Come back to 3 days later, ask if I can try again. The aunt mentioned should be ok one, since you alter 3 times. Well…ok la. Go home try, and bring if can bring back again or other tailor lor. But I guess that’s it for the shirts and pants, if an alteration experience is so hassle
