Hey all, wanted to get your opinion on a recent experience I had with my tailor.
I started a new job a week ago after being unemployed for 5 months and picked up a new sport coat from Cavour to celebrate. The jacket fits me well off the rack, I just needed the sleeves hemmed.
So I brought my sport coat in and explained what I wanted and they charged me $80 just to hem the sleeves with non-functional buttons! I initially balked at the price but they explained that because the jacket had hand sewn elements they needed to charge extra to recreate the effort. Is this a reasonable and fair price or have I just gotten cheap? Thanks in advance!
