A small shop. A steady hand.

Olive & Thread has been quietly doing the work since the kind of work mattered. Tucked into a storefront on Solano Avenue, the shop takes whatever walks through the door — a wedding dress, a uniform, jeans that no longer fit, a jacket from twenty years ago.

No fuss, no upcharging. Bring the garment, get a fair price, pick it up when it's ready. Most jobs turn around in a few days. Same-day work when we can.

What folks say after pickup.

★★★★★

Brought in a suit jacket that was too big in the shoulders and waist. Came back fitting like it was made for me, and the price was honest. Will be back.

M. Rodriguez Local review
★★★★★

Hemmed three pairs of jeans for me in two days. Nothing fancy, just clean work and fair pricing. Hard to find a good neighborhood tailor — this is one.

J. Tran Local review
★★★★★

Took my bridesmaid dress in at the bust and shortened the hem. Three fittings, and every time they made me feel like the work mattered. Highly recommend.
