    Mia and the folks at modernize trailers are always really great to work with. I’ve had a few items altered here and then also had my wedding suit fully tailored. I love my wedding suit and all the alterations have been great. The process is always thorough and they provide great service. I never feel like I’m being rushed and the end result is always quality.

    Amazing service and attention to detail. I got a custom polo shirt in the summer from Modernize and they were attentive and careful through every stop. Next stop: saving up for a suit

    I had the most amazing and fun experience at Modernize!! I was looking for a classic three-piece suit for my first custom suit and the team made my wish come true 💗 The fabric selection was great and I was able to find this beautiful and versatile navy blue fabric (shown in the photos). The team was also super easy to work with and the end result was everything I wanted - and it fit so nicely, making me look taller than I actually am. I wore the suit for some portraits and team photos and I'm so happy with how everything looks. THANK YOU!!
