suit alterations

[unowned]

hello all,

I recently bought a mens suit, am looking for somewhere in the gta to perform suit alterations such as pants hemming, sleeve shortening maybe waist tightening as well.

Thanks in advance

how big is the suit? if you need to alter it more than 1 inch, return it

it fits fine, its just that it could be a little tighter, the pants are a little long but that is to be expected, and pant hemming usually isn't an issue but ive usually done this at dry cleaners, yet have been dissappointed by the hemming everytime (due to improper measuring), im a 44 (european size)

I actually just take those to the dry cleaners. They do small jobs like that and its usually fine. For me at least.

thanks, any other suggestions you might have? the reason why i ask this is i once went there before, one of my friends told me they could tailor make killer pants, but top part of suits weren't so great.

As an alterations tailor, Frank is good and can work on jackets or pants.

As a custom tailor, he does not make any of the custom clothes himself so you can’t judge his alterations skills on the construction quality of his jackets. So, to the extent the jackets he has made are not great, it is because the outside tailor shop makes them to a specific price point. Keep in mind Frank’s pricepoint on made-to-measure suits (used to be $650-$1000 for basics – not sure what it is now). The jackets you get are commensurate with the price paid.

I know which outside tailor shop makes the suits for Frank and they do all levels of quality. You can probably get a very good jacket from him but it will cost more.

How much would it cost for him to take in the waist of a suit jacket?
