What we do

Alterations and tailoring

Re-lining

Shoes and leather

Leather boots come back with new soles, and shoes worn for twenty years get their heels replaced along with in-soles, tongues and laces. The heavy leather work happens at the same counter as the fine stitching, which is rare in one shop.

Zips, buttons and seams

A jammed zip on a puffer jacket is replaced rather than written off, and loose buttons are tightened while the garment is in. Split seams and worn linings are restitched so the piece goes back into use.

Cleaning and keys

Dry cleaning and stain removal are taken in over the counter, and keys are cut here too.

Ready when promised

Trousers taken up, let out or reshaped through the leg, finished inside the time you were given. The parade is a minute from the station, so dropping a pair in fits either side of a commute.

Alterations and tailoring

Dresses taken in at the waist, trousers hemmed and jackets brought closer to the body. If your measurements do not match anything on the rail, the garment is altered until they do.

Made to fit you

A dress that is too big around the waist is taken in until it sits properly. Slim on top and wider through the hips is treated as two measurements rather than one size, which is what most alterations here are about.

Everything across the counter

Waistcoats, dresses, trousers, puffer jackets, suits and work shoes all come across this counter. Nazir will say plainly what can be done with an item and when it will be ready.

Top Stitch Acton in Acton London

Zip replacement

Coats, jackets and suits

Top Stitch Acton Ltd is a proper walk-in shop, not a post-it-off-and-hope service. Hand it over the counter, and in most cases the repair is done there and then.

  • Coats and jackets reshaped through the shoulder and the sleeve, with linings replaced where they have worn through. Leather is re-lined in the colour you choose and polished over the outside before it comes back.
  • Open seven days a week on Central Parade
  • Suits adjusted so the trousers and the jacket agree with each other. If the first fitting is not right, bring it back and it is put right.
