Any one have any suggestions?
I know Despos is the best, are there any others worth looking into?
I am located on the North Shore, so getting into the loop is not appealing and logistically challenging.
Any advice or names is appreciated.

I love working with Mr. Despos, and the cool thing about him is that he loves what he does, his shop is interesting , and he is a very pleasant person to work with. I have had some bad experiences with other tailors not listening to what I wanted and I am completely impressed with him. If you can make the trek , I would advise engaging his services.

For small things and closer to my home Joe's Tailors in York town Mall is good. They are technically excellent but YOU need to know what you want and insist on it.
