At Channing's Customs & Co., we believe the best garments are the ones made for you. From custom tailoring to thoughtful alterations, every stitch is guided by care and precision.
Channing's Customs & Co. was founded on a simple conviction: that clothing should fit the person, not the other way around. Located in the heart of Grinnell on 4th Avenue, we've built a space where craftsmanship meets community.
Whether you're looking for a suit tailored to your exact measurements, a hem adjusted for the perfect drape, or a one-of-a-kind piece made from your chosen fabric, we approach every project with the same dedication to detail.
From a simple alteration to a fully custom garment, we offer a range of tailoring services designed to give you clothing that feels like it was made just for you.
From suits to shirts, we create garments cut and constructed to your personal measurements and style preferences.
