I bought two suits several months ago, and at the time, I was not aware of the magic of a custom suit. I saw some colleagues at an event, that looked like they were born to be put inside those suits... and that's because they were. The ones I bought were fine, but definitely had some oddities with the fit.
Enter: Tran Tailor. To my surprise, there were not an ample number of alterations places in the area, or at least, many of them appeared to be more for wedding/prom dresses. But Tran's website said they did suits, so I made the trek over here.
They took my measurements, and asked if I could come back in about a month. I didn't need the suits for a while, so the wait was longer than I expected, but it didn't bother me.
When I went to pick them up, one of the suits felt pretty good, while the other one was too tight. They were the same exact suit, just a different color, but they adjusted them differently, I get it -- humans are doing these changes, not robots. Still, it wasn't the most convenient, as I had to come back a 2nd time.
They 2nd time, the suit still wasn't as good as the other one, but good enough,
Overall, they got the job done. It wasn't cheap, it took a while, and it's definitely not the ideal fit like something custom, but I'm in better shape than I was before I initially came.
