Hi all,

Firstly, newbie here - picked up a lot of useful knowledge here already!

I wanted to ask the forum members who are in Sydney - who would you recommend as a good alteration tailor in Sydney (preferably, but not necessarily, in the conservative business dress)?

I have quite a few OTR suits that I bought from one place in Hong Kong - they're decent suits (for the price), fits the shoulder well, but the sleeve and leg lengths are both too long and the jacket could be a bit tighter (they would look fine with a cardigan inside but with summer coming up and these being summer suits, that's not an option anymore). So I would like those alterations to be done.

These suits aren't that expensive so I'm not going to break the bank to alter them, but at the same time I want them to look good and there are a few suits to alter, so I'm somewhat flexible on the price (and turn around time). Just hoping to find a guy who is friendly and knowledgable.

Any recommendations/advice you guys have would be much appreciated. Thanks heaps.
