Where do you take your pieces?
How much do they take you for?
Why is it that you love them so?

Your experiences will help me compile a “best of” list of local tailors.

Alternatively, if you’ve had some terrible experiences at a local shop; post them and I’ll throw together a respective tailor shit list.

So? Let’s hear it!

I’ve also included an ancient photo (below) of a super pissy tailor from the days of yore for your enjoyment.

Albert’s (above value vintage) is good for cheap mends on jeans, though I wouldn’t take anything too fancy there.

He mended some 7′s for me for about $15

I hope the author of this web site realizes the potential and updates it. I think he is AWOL

Brascia’s Tailors across from the YWCA. The owner works the front and has some of the best stuff in town. Never leave there without getting a fashion lesson! 100% Recommend

I would suggest that you should go to Oakridge Tailors. I and my girlfriend have been there two or three times. The result of their alterations and service is excellent.I have done my two Boss suits and Armani sports jacket. I went there because of the thread from other site and their service is exceptional.Also, the best orignal jeans hem ever. My girlfriend loves their original hem. REAL ORIGINAL!!! check the place out!
