Hello Gentlemen,
I am a recent law grad who is just starting my legal career, and I am looking for some advice on making the best out of my current wardrobe, as well as suggestions for moving forward. I understand that fit is paramount to dressing well, and while I cannot afford a whole new better fitting wardrobe overnight, I would like to start making what I have fit. I have tried to use the resources that I have, but I have come up short. Most of my former classmates or co-workers just take their clothes to the dry cleaners to get something hemmed. And if I knew a local man who dressed impeccably I would ask, but unfortunately I don't have any such relationships (yet). I also did a search here and askandy but I didn't get any results. So, if any member knows of a good place to get alterations in the Milwaukee, WI area, I would sincerely appreciate his suggestion. That said, I would prefer not to have to travel as far as Chicago, but if needs be, I can make a day of it.
This leaves me with yelp.com and I dropped off a jacket at Oleg Yusufov Custom Tailor. Is there a better way to audition a tailor than giving him a jacket? In the future, should I start with something more basic like pants or a OCBD? Lastly, I have another question about price: provided that the jacket is altered well, what is a reasonable rate to pay for such an alteration?
And for any member that has read this far, thank you for your time. Any suggestions are welcome, and please let me know if this is better posted elsewhere.
Regards,
Joshua
