Alright, having a hard time finding rough estimates for such procedures through previous threads. Google isn't much help either. Yuck.

Can anybody provide general prices/time frames for the following:

-Having a loose button restitched into a suit jacket
-Having pant legs slimmed

It's been a while since I've had pants slimmed, but I think I paid $18 last time?

if hes a nice guy, the button is free as a courtesy.
if the bottom must be narrowed as well as the upper leg then it must be recuffed.
