I have used Jackie's alterations, this particular location on Saint Andrews Road to be exact, for…read moreseveral years now. I am not a wealthy man, but do enjoy fine quality fabrics, so, what is one to do if unable to facilitate the ownership of said goods at a price that one can afford more reasonably?? The answer is as simple as seeking out a professional Taylor, and practice that has fallen to the wayside in our post consumer Internet marketing society. I am, for my part in this review, neither young nor old, but consider myself more practical than my age should afford me. The preceding was just Acacian for following statement:
I have never looked so good in my appearance than after The alterations that Jackie's provided for me. Let's take it a step further however, let me appeal to that Avenue that I hold dearly and consider that you, the reader, may as well, and that is simple economics.
Consider the following example, based off of actual numbers, for reference. They have this review, 19th February, I arrived to Jackie's to retrieve a pair of Hilti Denim slacks that I had height adjusted (And just for reference, the alteration to the legs or a custom height was $10, replacing those pants with a proper length, would've been $250, which is also substantially higher than I paid for them to begin with). I have a pair of Lauren gray-wool micro-plaid slacks my mother bought as a present for me some few year back. They were nearly full price, and for that line and being at Belks, it was closer to 200 for them. She insisted, so now I have pants that hang in my closet due to passive body realignment (I think I just made that up, but use it if you want. It basically means weight-loss through dynamic lifestyle assessment and restructuring) As I am unwilling to throw a side such an expensive gift from I had someone to whom I care so much about. I considered, only yesterday as I'm cleaning through my closet's for what I still wear and don't, That I really like these pants but cannot wear them as they are.
So, while retrieving one pair of pants, I inquired on the other pair as well. I knew for good and well that a professional tailor would be able to do anything that has excessive material that was needed, so I preemptively carried shoes, with a heel profile that most closely matches what I would normally wear with the pants, along to the alteration shop.
Not only was I happy about the suturing of the waist, but the buttocks is also being tightened to extend the appearance of my legs (which already appear short, due to the cut in the inner thigh of most pants) and the length of the legs were also shortened to discourage baggage around the ankles. These pants are now going to be cut and laid to my exact dimensions, will look perfect on me, and all for $26 bucks. Whatever price you would pay for alterations you would need would not be more expensive then to replace the clothing in the first place I assure you so consider taking that before making the decision to refuse and replace, but instead, give that wardrobe a new lease on life while helping out your community and saving more than a few bucks while having an outfit that you can honestly say is made for you.
