HOW TO FIND A GOOD TAILOR?

This is like finding a good doctor or a good lawyer. You know they’re out there, but where are they to be found? Some of this will be trial and error, so even if you take the following advice, start with a simple alteration like shortening pants.

Since we live in the 21st century, the Internet is a great resource that can be used. Go to Yelp or Citysearch and look for tailors near your zip / postal code and see what the reviews say. Don’t just look at the star ratings, actually read the reviews so you can get a feel for the work that was done and its quality.

A less technology-driven method would be to ask your best-dressed friend where he gets his clothes worked on (this should go without saying, but we thought it’d be remiss to not mention here).

If you’re completely on your own and all of your friends and relatives dress like schlumps, then your best bet is to go into the nicest men’s shop in town and ask who they use for tailoring.

Many stores have onsite tailors, so if you’re buying from them, it’s generally easiest to let them do the work if you don’t have your own tailor yet. Even if you didn’t buy the clothes there, some companies (like Men’s Wearhouse in the USA) will still do your alterations for you, they’ll just charge you a bit more than they would one of their own customers.

If the store doesn’t use an onsite tailor, ask them to share who they use. Chances are it’s a local shop that would appreciate the additional business you’d bring.

What you’ll generally want to avoid is taking complicated alterations to a dry cleaner that also claims to be a tailor. Certainly, some exist that will do good work, but generally they’re only good with simple alterations.

BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR TAILOR

Over time, your tailor should fill a space in your life akin to that of your favorite bartender or barista: a person with whom you have good rapport and who knows your tastes and preferences.

The key to this is to communicate honestly and openly with your tailor. Be up front about your likes and dislikes. Your tailor, like any professional, would rather learn this information up front as opposed to doing work that you then ask to have re-done. This costs money for you, time for him, and is an unpleasant experience all around.

Over time, your tailor will learn how you want your clothes to fit, and you will learn how he does his work (i.e. what does “slim” or a “slight break” mean to him?). His good work should be rewarded with your loyalty, and your loyalty can often be rewarded with a “yes” instead of a “no” when you ask for the occasional rush job.

Listen to him when he tells you that he can’t do a job or that an alteration is a bad idea, because he’s a professional who knows what he’s doing.see more @ https://bespokeunit.com/suits/mens-tailor-guide/...
