Can anyone please recommend a tailor in London who does alterations? It’s not just basic stuff like shortening trousers; there are a couple of tailors near me who do that kind of thing for a reasonable price. What I’m looking for is someone who is adept at more complex alterations. For instance, I have some jackets that were made for a deceased member of my family; the fit on the shoulders is superb, but the body needs some reshaping.
I took a jacket to one of the places that come up prominently on Google, which had excellent reviews, and they did a thoughtless job, the result of which is that I haven’t worn the jacket. I’m ideally looking for somewhere that’s not preposterously expensive (like the Savile Row tailor who originally made the jackets I inherited), where the tailor is hands-on and can-do.
