This is my second visit. I wish I could have found them sooner. They have beautiful brightly colored formal sequence gowns in the window so I never even thought this was a place a hard working guy like me could go to get his clothes fixed. I am so relieved that I finally got my two piece suit tailored professionally cuffs. I bought this particular suit from my personal clothier. That's a fancy name for a guy who use to own a clothing store but now only orders and delivers from online.
So I get these quality shirt and pants suits for only $40. So obviously It's not worth spending a lot on tailoring. However this one shirt and pant suit was made out of better quality. It was like a very heavy, tweed but almost like a herring bone or twill (I googled it). Anyway, it was uncut pants. The legs and arms were so long when I tried it on it made me look like on of those floppy balloon men in front of cell phone stores. I got mad at my clothier for selling me such a ridiculous outfit that would have to spend at least $100 to get fixed. I throw it in the back of my close for a whole winter and never took it out the plastic again.
This winter while standing on the #34 bus on my way to work. I took a good look at the this time at the neon sign "Tailor". Next day off, I brought the suit.
They had a very nice dressing room, with a Lazy Susan stand where I call see the full length of the pants unraveled like Rapunzel hair. I should have took a photo. I looked like "Mom who shrunk the kids?"
The tailor was soft spoken and considerate. I even asked him to take the arms in a tad, not use just the Long stocking legs. There was another nice customer there.
I came back week later, after a courtesy call from the Tailor and "Wha La".
Fit for a King! Funny thing is I didn't have the dress shoes I was going to wear during the fitting but the length of the pant draped nicely. My Tailor saved my Clothier. I appreciate him so much and it only cost me $50 bucks. To be honest, that came about right since I got the set inexpensively. It would have probably cost me $250 full price.
Anyway, it's a pleasure having a tailor and it wasn't 2 weeks before I came back to have my ultra cool blue and orange windbreaker suit pant leg fix. It torn in the legs along a dark blue stripe. He matched the color and it wasn't long before I got my courtesy call as soon as it was ready. I hopped on the bus and grabbed it as a price that was so nice I won't disclose. I just back on the bus and tried to hide it from prying eyes which was impossible because it's such a glowing, vibrant blue. I can't wait to wear it again.
Thank You Golden Tailor. read more
