    Where to get alterations done in NYC?

    Bless your heart. I'm a young attorney at a large law firm in Midtown. It's important for my clothes to fit well, but also important for me to not be fashion-forward (i.e. my clothes can't be tight or otherwise garish). Thanks again for the suggestions.

    Where to get alterations done in NYC?

    I have a few OTR shirts and slacks that I need minor alterations for (sleeves half an inch too long; some slacks need to be hemmed/let out at the waist). Where should I go to get it done? Looking for quality as well as cost-efficiency.

    The vast majority of men wouldn't notice, and the vast majority of men who noticed wouldn't care. My opinion, therefore, is that those are fine for you to wear to an interview. A black captoe would be better, but, eh, close enough.

    I would wear a black balmoral captoe to an interview. (AE's Park Avenue.) Short of that, a dark brown balmoral captoe. (AE's PA or Fifth Avenue.)

    I would imagine that a professional shoe-shiner knows how to shine all tones of brown calfskin shoes.

    Quote: I usually prefer for buttons to be sewn on in a straight line instead of glued in a crooked one, but I think that's just personal preference. Cheers, BigRob

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I bought a pair of walnut Jefferson seconds during the sale. I was appalled when I opened the box -- the leather was splotchy and wrinkled in prominent places, the bottom of the cut in the leather for the laces was dented inward, and the lining by the heel of one of the shoes was so deformed I...

    The Hong Kong Tailors Thread

    Dafuq, they had a young woman take your measurements? I would have demanded an old Chinese man. It's part of the experience. Also -- after having read your post (it's well-written), I'm wondering why you didn't comment on/post pics re: the quality of the shirt you had made. Did it fit well?
