I'm not impressed with the fit of my jacket and the pants are a bit too short. Also, I was charged for an alteration which was not performed resulting in having to leave my pants for almost another week. Somehow I was charged even more than the original quote. Lastly, when the tailor was actually there and saw me try on my suit he offered no feedback and really seemed to not care about the fit. On a positive note, they did successfully sew a button correctly on a shirt I brought in.

I've spent cash on alterations for two sport jackets and at least four pairs of pants. This was expensive for me but getting your clothes done by a professional always will be worth the money. I'm assuming that all is going well with these alterations but I won't know for two weeks. I wanted them to take their time to do it right. As soon as this is done, I will take my clothes to his recommended dry cleaners. Be aware that the hours here say they are open on Sunday. This is incorrect. The website doesn't have the latest updated schedule. Your best bet is to always call ahead of time if you are under a time crunch. In my case, I was called Friday and was told my clothes are ready. Unfortunately, I'm not anywhere near that area so I'm going to have to pick it up on Tuesday because Monday is a holiday. Planning ahead works for me, but many people wait until the last minute and alterations are one of those things you need time for. Other places may accommodate you, but I'm sure you won't get the same quality. Actually I just realized that this was sitting in my drafts waiting for me to finish my overdue evaluation. The clothes were done very well and they are still looking good. One pair of pants that are my favorite now look very well on me. I use them a lot. Can't find any faults with their alterations. I definitely will use them again even though they are pricey. You get what you pay for here no doubt about it.

When I picked up the suit, I was told there wasn't enough material in the jacket to loosened it so they just fixed the pants. I tried to explain that it was a suit and only fixing the pants didn't help me at all. The man that works there said I should have told him not to fix the pants, if they couldn't fix the jacket, but i didn't know until I picked up the suit and I was initially told both could be altered. He said he didn't care and I believe him. ****** If they didn't tell me there was enough material in the jacket to loosen it, I wouldn't have left the suit to be altered at all. ******

Back in the 90s I purchased a designer tie by Erte. At the time, it was the most I had spent on any…read moreone item of clothing. I got so many compliments on this tie (A CEO of an S&P 500 company once commented that his Chauffeur was better dressed than he was) that I wore it for all special occasions. After all those years of Valiant service, the tie was getting scruffy and was actually torn in a few spots, like where the knot always went. I reluctantly retired the tie. Enter Del Valle custom tailors. I brought them the tie and told them I wanted to get it back in service. I realized that it would need some major work for that to happen. They gave me an estimate of a couple of weeks which stretched out into a month. The problem was the tie was worn through in so many places that in order to make it wearable it would need to be taken apart and put back together in a new configuration. Del Valle did an excellent job. They took apart the tie, cut away the worn spots, added silk material to the back of the tie, and put it together again 1/2 inch narrower. Of course, the new configuration changed the centering of the design, but with this tie that was not a significant issue. The $100 price tag was worth it to have this tie rejuvenated and ready for another 20 years of service! (Note: To buy this tie brand new today, the price would be approximately $2,500. I did find some used ones online, but they were also worn out)
