Arthur Arbit, the owner and head tailor of Chasing Tailor, has over thirty years of experience in alterations and garment construction of every kind, bridal, formal, business, and casual, for both women and men. The work that comes out of our shop is meticulously finished to look as close to new, or better, whether it’s making an old business suit look sharp and contemporary, or transforming a dress you love for its fabric (but not its cut) into a piece you’re excited to wear again.

Mr. Arbit has been operating in Williamsburg for a very long time, you could say he is the OG hipster. He ran one of the first art galleries in Greenpoint (not far from Williamsburg), after which he produced rock shows (giving the Yeah Yeah Yeahs one of their first shows), and later produced Williamsburg Fashion Weekend (many of the shows can be found on YouTube), all the while running his own tailoring shop.

Mr. Arbit opened Chasing Tailor in 1995. Since then, he has developed it into one of the top tailoring ateliers in New York City, known for meticulous craftsmanship, thoughtful fit, and a high level of technical expertise, without being stuffy.

Chasing Tailor is a shop where classic tailoring techniques are the standard, yet we’re not averse to breaking from tradition when it best serves our clients’ needs.
