Giliberto Designs Inc

Tailors in Manhattan rarely feel like an afterthought. Most shops cluster in the garment district, where fabric rolls and measuring tapes are as common as yellow cabs. Giliberto Designs Inc occupies a quiet corner on the eighth floor of a midblock building, a detail that might escape notice unless you’re already scanning the directory.

The address—142 W 36th St. #8, New York, NY 10018—places it steps from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a handful of fabric wholesalers. That proximity makes sense; the shop specializes in made-to-measure suits, shirt alterations, and hem adjustments for everything from denim to evening wear. Clients often bring in pieces they’ve purchased elsewhere, knowing the stitching here won’t betray the original cut. Trouser cuffs, jacket sleeves, and even delicate beading on formal gowns get the same attention, though the focus stays on precision rather than flash.

Garment district veterans tend to keep their contact details close, but this one isn’t hard to find. A quick call to (212) 695-4925 usually sorts out timing and pricing before you arrive. For directions, the map pins the building between Broadway and Seventh Avenue, where the sidewalks hum with garment racks and delivery trucks by day and empty out by evening.
