I always buy OTR shirts and pants and they always fit fine, but never "perfect". So I decided to take one of my lower end shirts that is much too bulky in the body to a tailor to see about getting it tapered. I tried the shirt on and he marked it to be taken in at the side seams and slightly up in the arms, he also put in some tapering down the back.
After this was all set he told me that the seams will not be the same because only the factory can do "french" seams like the shirt had. Is this true or is this just becasue he could be an "entry" level tailor without the proper equipment?
For the Toronto people, the place I took it to is the tailoring/alternations place in Hazelton Lanes. Can anyone comment on his work?
