Tie It

Tie it all together with the perfect fit

A superb tie pulls a formal look together, but most ties are made in standard sizes that don’t work off the shelf. They’re often too long, too wide, or simply don’t sit right with the rest of your outfit.

That’s where we come in. Our experienced tailors can make a custom tie from your fabric, resize one you own, or repair damage like worn tips and loose linings.

For custom ties, alterations, or repairs, find your nearest Alter It location.

Ties tailored, altered and made just for you

A tie might be small, but it can throw off your whole look if it doesn't fit right. Here’s how we help you get one that fits your outfit, height, and style.

Custom ties

Already have fabric you love? Want a tie that matches your partner’s outfit or suits the event? We’ll help you create one that works for you and stands out for all the right reasons.

For a custom tie, pop into one of the following stores that offer this service: Camberwell, Fountain Gate, Richmond, South Yarra, Malvern, South Melbourne and St Kilda.

Tie alterations

We can make your tie shorter or slimmer so it sits better with your shirt, and feels comfortable when you wear it.

Tie repairs

Whether the seam’s split, the fabric’s pulled, or the shape’s lost after years of wear, we can bring your tie back to life.

For all these services, prices slightly vary depending on what’s required. Feel free to pop into your nearest store for a quick quote.
