A rude, bitter old man is what you'll encounter if you dare phone ahead to inquire about price quotes. And why not call ahead before driving there, possibly wasting your gas, time and energy when EVERY (and I mean EVERY) single other tailor and/or seamstress in town will happily quote their general rates over the telephone?!
"I don't give price quotes for mens' suits alterations over the phone," Angelo barked at me into my iPhone (something I guarantee you he wouldn't even dare think of doing had I been physically in his store, standing right before him within arm's reach)! "You bring your suit in and I tell you, then, what it will cost to alter your suit(s)!" said Angelo. I snapped back by replying "Good luck with that approach, fella'!" before I hung the phone up and took my business to Lefkowitz & K. I. Sunder Tailor Shop - located in downtown Winston on 233 West 5th Street - where I had a far more professional, pleasant (and affordable) experience over both the phone AND in-person!
I'm from a sophisticated gentleman from New York City with a closet full of Italian designer suits (Prada, Versace, etc.) that I always alter a bit before wearing and am more than used to shopping around for tailors who readily and willingly compete with other tailors/seamstresses by giving over their rates via telephone so be sure to also read my review for the aforementioned downtown tailor shop and you'll see clearly why the Lefkowitz & K. I. Sunder Tailor Shop has plenty of other raving reviews from loyal customers reflecting Sunder's outstanding more-than-evident talent and customer service skills while Angelo has next to none upon Yelp!! read more
