Good results/quality? Remember any pricing?

Found this in my wallet.
I have been happy with the quality and prices (though I am usually putting quite good quality clothes so am happy to spend a bit getting them altered correctly).
The woman has a good eye, understands the results you want (she is reasonably young and of Greek origin, I think) and has a decent turnaround time. Like all alterations places it can be a little brisk and impersonal (tiny changing area).
^^ I'm unconvinced that OTR trousers really need tapering...what's wrong with a full lower leg?
Great post thank you.
But damn, seems it'll cost near $200 to get my 4 pairs of pants hemmed and tapered. I wonder if MJ Bale will help me out, as they didn't slim them as much as I'd like.
Edit: Scratch that, with a cuff the length is perfect on the pants. It's just the leg opening all the way up the leg is too baggy. I'm guessing it will cost ~$40 per pair to get the whole leg tapered?
You scrub up well as always Jason. Your meermins and carminas get a bit of a flog too!
What's the etiquette with doing up your second button only as opposed to the top? Also, where can you learn to do more subtle PS folds like the one you've got? I'm over the TV box and scary jesture look.
what reverso was it? im searching for one in original dimensions rather than the current oversized variety.On another note, thanks for the advice offered here apropos. I ended up purchasing myself a Zenith Captain Chrono watch in stainless with a silver face and gold hands. And I'm mighty impressed with it - it's a beautiful watch offering wonderful symmetry (when compared with the Captain Windsor series of watches).
I'm not a fan of the JLC reverso series I saw, so that made the decision somewhat simpler, although there was an IWC Da Vinci perpetual calendar from about 1990 on offer at a second hand dealer in Lt Collins St which tickled my fancy for a small while thinking about the intricacies of the movement, but the styiling was dated enough to rule it out of contention.
I like the longer collar points on this shirtCharles Nahkle button-down in Monti pinpont oxford...
Commissioning this shirt reminds me why it's good to have a close working relationship with your tailor.
Couldn't make it down to see him, so I quizzed him over the phone about appropriate fabrics (oxford, sky blue stripes on white). Knowing me well, he picked this one as a fabric I'd probably like. Received the shirt in the mail today.
Love it!

Speaking of RMs, does anyone here have a suggestion for a pair that are more or less waterproof, e.g. storm welt, rubber sole? Would like to support the Aussies where I can...
Edit: I should add I've looked at the Henly but I'd prefer something with a regular chisel toe or narrow toes rather than the wide toes - they look a bit too bulbous IMO.
Perhaps a better question to ask is if anyone who has experience with MTO knows if you can add a storm welt as a MTO element on, say, a Craftsman...
