I tend not to leave reviews but after looking for a good tailor for a long time, I felt that I had…read moreto show appreciation for what he has done. Mr Padar is excellent at what he does, and does it with such grace and positivity as well. He does not come across as impatient as most tailors I have been to in the past have, and has an excellent eye for fit. I brought 2 off the rack suits in for tailoring after I lost weight, and my suits now look like they were custom made to my measurements. Since everyone's idea of the perfect fit is different, he always made sure to ask how I felt about his proposed alterations, and always modified the alterations to match my preferences; this is in contrast with some bad experiences in the past where tailors would try to pushily tell me what I should want. With regards to the handiwork, I have never received buttons on a sleeve so perfectly aligned without strain in the fabric whatsoever. There is also no sign that the jacket or the pants were altered, except now they fit perfectly. I also received prompt responses after contacting him by email on several occasions, always within a business day. He cares deeply about the customer, as after an email from me expressing confusion at pricing, he kindly explained the circumstances through a phone call to my satisfaction. Pricing is not cheap, but not expensive, so reasonable is the best way to describe it. However, if you are intending to wear your suits for a long time to come and are quite confident your physique will stay similar throughout the years, it is well worth it to take them here for alterations.

They also have Boulet which are boot Made in Quebec, difficult to find a place to get some but mainly they are known for their Cowboy boots but John Lennon use to have a pair of classy-zipper Mods style low boots. Love iti! They also have lot of shoes for the kids and prices are within normal range without being that much of a bargain. As for the Cordonnerie, they are old school, they can fix lot of different shoes and staff have lot of experience. Cet endroit n'est pas seulement une cordonnerie mais une boutique de chaussure, botte, sandale, name it, ils ont tout! Ils ont aussi des Boulet qui sont connus principalement pour leurs botte de cowboy hyper confortable mais pour les fans de chaussure Fait au Québec, c'est difficile de trouvé un endroit où on peut en avoir, encore pire, simplement les commander! (John Lennon en portait! enough said!). C'est une boutique séparé en deux et ils ont beaucoup d'options pour les enfants. C'est une surface est vraiment plus petite qu'un Globo, c'est sur, mais il y a beaucoup de variétés. Les prix sont dans la norme sans être vraiment peu dispendieux.

I did not discover until day 3..... it wasn't a pretty sight or aroma. Tried laundry service in my bougie upscale hotel (I had moved) said they needed 24 hours and each piece would cost 3x more.

I'm happy to be able to write a good review for this place for a couple reasons. First, I would…read morehave been pissed if they ruined my new suits, (yes I was taking a gamble). And second, they are a so close to me that it would have been a shame to not be able to use them. I had a few alterations done here, jacket sleeves shortened, pants hemmed, and buttons put on the sleeves of one jacket. They did a great job for a very good price. In fact, there were a couple things they did not do, (which they easily could have justified charging me for), and said if I change my mind and want it done to come back in anytime. This saved me money, and probably doesn't even need doing. They are polite, courteous, bilingual, (probably trilingual or maybe more), and did it in good time frame. I haven't tried the dry cleaning portion of their business yet, but think I will switch to them and give them a shot.
