Getting pleats removed in Boston?

[zacattacks]

I have a nice Zegna suit I got for a great price at Filene's Basement that unfortunately has double pleats. I could live with single pleats, but doubles are too much for me. I know this is a complicated but doable job, and was looking for advice. I called Jack's Tailoring after checking old threads and he said he won't do it. Does anyone know a tailor in the Boston area that would be good for this job? I am afraid of bringing the pants to a random tailor and having them end up ruined. Thanks for any input!

Sorry I cannot be of any help to you except to say, gain a bunch of weight and those pleats will magically disappear. You could PM Vox.

Try "Raymond Personal Tailor" in the financial district.

My understanding is that one of the favorite activities at a StyleForvm Meet-Up is that Members both Senior and Junior participate in a pleat-removing party (this typically occurs after a few drinks, but not so many as to signal the unseemly part of the evening.)

Gentlemen gather in a circle, sheers and pincushions in hand, and notional hijinks ensue.

Fun times.

Wow sorry I missed the Boston gtg. This motivates me to make the next one.
