I patronized this business years ago with awesome results from Luk. I now understand that it has been sold to a new, much less competent owner. I recently took a $400 wool pleated skirt in to be taken in. When I went in for a fitting the formerly 'too large skirt' was now 'too small'. We discussed that the pleats were supposed to 'hang straight and not flare' (as they did now) and how the waist band should fit. The 'new owner' seems completely unfamiliar with the style or proper fit of this classic box pleated wool skirt. The next time I went in to ostensibly pick up the finished product, the waist band had been removed (not what had been agreed upon) the width of the pleats had been revised, fabric had been removed from the circumference, short cuts had been taken with the top stitching, the label had been removed and the fit was still not correct. I was offered $50 to 'take the skirt away to someone else'. My deposit was not returned, and I left with a lint covered, crumpled up skirt, with little resemblance to the beautifully made Edward Chapman skirt I had taken in. I was absolutely shaken by the experience. Do not trust your garments to this 'tailor'. He does not know what he is doing. read more
