I am disappointed at the poor service and quality provided.
The shirts which the proprietor altered for me were done to a poor standard and I had to visit his shop three times 9-5 on various days before he was actually available to let me collect them.
The alterations requested were basic: take four brand new shirts and shorten the sleeves by exactly two inches while also moving the gauntlets. An alteration I have paid for at countless other back street seamsters across the country before.
Yet in contrast to the work I have seen previously, this gentleman's needlework leaves a lot to be desired. My shirtsleeves are now replete with loose threads, incomplete stitching, and a generally shoddy standard of work.
I will take my next batch of shirts to a more reliable alterations tailor elsewhere next time. For £10 a pop, this is substandard work and an utter inconvenience to collect them. read more
