Doug Peter, San Francisco tailor - experience?

[fdbaker]

When I was in law school (1979 - 1982) I clerked for a firm with offices in the Russ Building on Montgomery Street in San Francisco. On the ground floor was a shop called The Shoe Tree, run by a father and son, that specialized in (duh) shoes and leather accessories, but also sold high-end ties, sweaters, shirts, odd jackets, etc. It went out of business long ago, but I bought my first go-to-court shoes and briefcase (which I still use) there 30 years ago.

A couple of months ago I ran into the son on the street, and he told me he now operates a tailoring business on California Street - Doug Peter Custom Clothier. I had him do some alterations and they nicely executed. I was thinking about ordering some bespoke shirts; he is a good guy and I want to support his business, but I would love to know if others have sused him and what their experience has been.

Thanks, and sorry this was so long-winded.

Any tailor recommendations in SF?

Stay away. I ordered a few shirts and they are crap. A tragic waste of fine cotton.

What the hell? Who is crap? The person you asked for opinions about? This just sounds like you are trying to smear someone.

He's saying the tailor is crap, in his opinion.

 

[fdbaker]

The shirts are crap. That's all I'm saying.

Ahhh, I blew it. This was an old post and I failed to look at the date. Cheers!
