This new thread is intended to continue conversations begun earlier in a thread on tailoring in Korea. There are a number of us here with an interest in menswear, both expatriates and native Koreans. Glad to hear from all.
I'll start with a query. I am told that Korean tailors turn down small jobs because they do not see sufficient profit in them; and indeed, I have already had such a job turned down. So my question is, where then should I go for small jobs such as a loosened trouser hem, replacement of brace buttons, and so on? Would drycleaners handle these tasks? Might a woman's dressmaker (there is one around the corner from me) be more amenable than a men's tailor?
