New York City may be the big apple of the East Coast, but Hoboken is just as juicy with the plethora of new businesses opening in 2025. As an exciting addition, Alts, an NYC-based tailoring company providing services like bridal alternations (yes, that includes bridesmaid’s dresses, a frequent query in the HG Facebook Group), custom clothing, and more, has made its way across the Hudson. Formerly known as Alteration Specialists, the company opened this week at 530 Washington Street in Hoboken. Read on for what we know about Alts, the newest arrival to Washington Street in Hoboken.

Alts, a premier, full-service tailoring company with roots in Manhattan and Brooklyn, announced its plans to open in Hoboken at 530 Washington Street earlier this year. The team behind the business shared with The Hoboken Girl back in January that they were in the early stages of remodeling and hoping for an early April opening date, although it could be delayed due to unforeseen renovations.
Now, we know that Alts made its Mile Square debut on Thursday, June 19th. The team shared with HG that the company is providing a 10% discount on all alterations (excluding custom clothing or products) at the Hoboken location from June 19th to July 19th, as well as more surprises. The news was also announced via Instagram:

Alts was founded in 2014 in New York City and quickly rose to become one of the best alternation companies in the area. Providing services like standard and bridal alterations and custom clothing, publications like Vogue, Forbes, Harper’s Bazaar, and Refinery 29 have reported on its exemplary work. In 2019, Vogue titled Alts “New York’s Most Genius Tailor.”
According to its website, the tailors and seamstresses at Alt work with a wide range of materials, from leather to denim to wool to fur. Courtney shared with HG that the company works with “classic garments to the most complicated, luxurious fabrics on the market.”
Sustainability is also an important practice at this company. With alternations and tailoring being the core of Alts, “environmental and community impact is central to every decision [it] make[s],” as per its website.
Hoboken locals can expect the same kind of work and practices at its Washington Street location.
