Are you looking for an alterations tailor or a tailor to make jackets/suits/shirts?
When I lived in Norman, I took everything I needed to have altered to Robert's Tailor Shop, on MacArthur just south of 50th. It was a long drive for me, but the Vietnamese woman who runs the shop is fabulous. I typically had her taper my shirts, trim jackets and fix the sleeve length, and cuff pants and trim the waist/seat area. Pattern matching was always perfect, work was done to my satisfaction and delivered when she promised. I don't remember, but I think she also did some functional buttonholes on jacket sleeves for me. She was not shy about advising me if she disagreed about something I requested, assertiveness that I appreciated. She also spotted things that I missed, including the fact that a jacket I bought on B&S as NWT had been altered so the pattern didn't match properly. She is excellent at alterations, but AFAIK doesn't make clothing.
I found her by asking Mr. Ooley's who they use when their in-house tailor can't handle everything.
I moved to Pittsburgh, PA two years ago and haven't yet found anyone as good as she is (though I have a tailor in La Jolla, CA make jackets and suits for me whenever I'm in the area and he is better).
