Wow, $109 tailoring bill

[ThePresence]

I always use this tailor, because he's damn good.

2 pairs of pants, hemmed, cuffed and tapered.
1 suit, jacket sleeves shortened; pants hemmed, cuffed and tapered.

$109.

This guy is making out like a bandit.

He's certainly worth it though. Good tailors are hard to find.

Just a bit of a shock when I looked at the bill.

eh, my fiance just had 2 pants done and it was either 40 or 60 for both. doesn't seem that outrageous considering the jacket. That is like $30 for each item...not that much considering you can wear them comfortably now

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

thats quite reasonable for what you had done. I've paid about $20 in the past just to get a pair of slacks shortened. Things such as tapering and cuffing take quite a bit of work to do right.

price of clothing total?

That's not bad actually. I've paid tailors more for less work.

$75 each for the pants.
The suit was $350 IIRC.

yeah thats really not bad, i had my jacket and pants tailored for $65 @ marios

 

[EGGO]

Sounds reasonable.

If I was charging $109 for that much of my time spent I couldn't live like I do and it's not great

However, I have been to hadadasheries (sp definitely) that had a lot of people in the backroom working.

Huh..that's actually really cheap imo. I'm having 2 shirts tightened up for $150 and a relining of a coat for $200 but yes, he's damned good.

 

[richardycc]

the place that I buy my suits from does all these for free, done in 2 days too, and all their tailors are old italian guys, so you know they will do a good job.

Since its so easy why didnt you do it yourself and save money?

Pants tapering and shortening of sleeves is probably the bulk of the cost. Especially if the buttons on the sleeves are functional or have 'fake' holes, as I understand it.

 

[shopbruin]

pants cost: 12.99
hemming cost: 12.00

but they were done great.
