Anyone know of any good tailor and cobbler in Calgary?

I searched the forum but I got no hits.

I've been recommended a tailor shop called Umberto's by a colleague at work but wanted to see if any members had some suggestions. The only cobbler I know of is in a mall downtown.

A downtown location would be preferable since I don't have a car.

Thanks to everyone in advance.

Cheers

The cobbler who works for O'Connors is reputedly amazing. Ask their shoe department guy and he can recommend a couple other Italians, as well.

Bit of late reply, and it's out of the way unless you're in the South, but Maria's Shoe Repair at the intersection of Canyon Meadows and Bonaventure Drive is outstanding, and reasonable to boot. The fellow who runs it is a real old-world gent.
