LIC gets a tailor who actually gets LIC.
LIC moves between two extremes. Monday morning, luxury high-rise residents in Hunters Point pull on tailored blazers for the 10-minute E train to Midtown. Saturday afternoon, the MoMA PS1 crowd is layered in vintage, wearing oversized Japanese-influenced silhouettes. Both wardrobes have fitment needs. Neither crowd has time to visit a tailor across town.
One of NYC's fastest-growing neighborhoods — young, high-earning professional class in luxury waterfront high-rises alongside a contemporary art scene anchored by MoMA PS1. Median household income $162,000 for 25–44 age bracket. 84% rental, dominated by post-2010 glass towers. Extra Butter on Jackson Ave — 3,000-square-foot sneaker and streetwear boutique carrying Comme des Garçons, Stone Island, Fear of God.
Extra Butter next to MoMA PS1 on Jackson Ave — one of the most important streetwear retail spaces in outer-borough NYC with a speakeasy and movie theater inside. The pieces that come out — structured outerwear, premium denim, collaboration drops — frequently need adjustment.
COS blazers, Acne Studios denim, APC outerwear — quality pieces deserving tailoring that matches the investment. Extra Butter jacket bought in size L because the shoulders are right but the torso runs long. Vintage blazer needing shoulder restructuring before a PS1 Warm Up. Gallery opening Thursday and the trousers have a blown seam from last time.
Sweetleaf Coffee Roasters on the waterfront. Partners Coffee near Court Square. La Cabra on Jackson Ave over a cardamom bun. Black Fox Coffee around the corner. Or your apartment in one of the glass towers along Center Blvd — we're already on the 7 train.
MoMA PS1 Warm Up series runs Friday evenings every July and August — 27th year. SculptureCenter on Purves Street. Culture Lab LIC. The art and creative community cares deeply about what they're wearing. Gantry Plaza State Park, the Pepsi-Cola sign, the Manhattan skyline. Hunters Point towers house tens of thousands of residents with coworking lounges and rooftop pools. What they don't have is a tailor on-site.
That's exactly how we work. We come to your apartment lobby, common area, or unit in any Hunters Point or Court Square building. No need to leave your building.
We work on streetwear, premium outerwear, and designer pieces regularly. Structured jackets, collaboration drops, premium denim — we adjust fitment without compromising the garment's design or construction.
3–5 days ahead for standard work. For rush jobs — gallery opening Thursday, trousers need fixing Wednesday — reach out and we'll do what we can. Quick 7 or E train from Harlem.
Pre-loved threads are a huge part of what we do. Vintage pieces often need proportion adjustments — different decades had different fits. We bring garments into your current rotation with tailoring that respects the original construction.
No. Mobile is how we operate, not a premium service. Pricing is based on the garment and the work. We don't charge extra because we come to you.
We come to you. Mobile fittings at your home or office across Long Island City and all of Queens.
