I brought a jacket and some dress shirts in to Regina lately, on the recommendation of Dean's in downtown Naperville: I needed some buttons replaced on the jacket, and they won't perform modifications/alterations on garments not purchased from them. Their recommendation was Regina.
Regina's not convenient to me, but they did do a nice job, swapping out horrible brass buttons for black ones on both front and sleeve of a sport coat. I supplied the new buttons, and the charge was about $10 to both do the work and press the jacket. Not bad, I suppose. It's $1.25 for the shirts, and again, they did a fine job, even getting what I thought was maybe burned on iron residue off one of my older shirts.
So will I be back? Well - short of more alterations, probably not. It took me nearly 40 minutes to get from the Rt. 59 train station to Regina on a very lightly snowing Wednesday night. (Off topic - how are people in Chicago of all places incapable of driving with not a 1/4 inch of accumulation, and only scattered flakes coming down?) So with a cleaners walking distance from my house - this will be a rare occurrence. But they still do a good job. read more
