Just thought I'd share this.
These guys took over Mr. Thomas (retired due to ill health) in Lexington St a few months ago.
They are two brothers. Quite young and very passionate about their work.
I dropped a few jackets and a suit in there a few days ago - one of the suits had to have the sleeves taken up via the shoulder. They were concerned about the resulting change in pitch. I went back today as they asked me to pop in - and they have attached both sleeves at different points to see which would give the best result pitch-wise.
Never had that kind of attention to detail before or that level of expertise. Maybe I've just had bad alteration service in the past but these two guys seem way ahead of the game. They also seem quite down with teh "SF aesthetic"
Anyways just passing on the info as I know this subject comes up from time to time and hopefully this may help some others.
