Tip Top Tailors

Needing a suit altered before a wedding or a job interview is the kind of errand that comes with a deadline attached, which changes how you should approach it. Tip Top Tailors sits at 2271 Harvey Avenue, one of roughly eighty seven businesses sharing that street number inside the large retail complex that runs along Highway 97 through the middle of Kelowna. Park once and walk, because the building is far bigger than it looks from the road.

Kelowna weddings cluster in the summer, when the vineyards and the lakeshore venues are at their best and every supplier in the valley is stretched thin. That is precisely when fitting rooms and alteration benches are busiest, so the further ahead you plan the easier the whole thing goes. Outside that window the pace eases considerably. The highway position makes this a straightforward stop for anyone driving in from Lake Country, West Kelowna or the towns further south, which is part of why this stretch of Harvey draws shoppers from well beyond the city limits.
