Hi folks - just need opinions about Nordstrom tailoring (sorry if this has been covered before).
My situation: I bought a John Varvatos overcoat through Nordstrom. It's a 44R and the fit is pretty close to what I need - but since I'm more of a 42R, the coat needs some work.
This would be a slightly more complicated "taking in" process. Right now, the coat has nice sharp shoulders (even with the extra room) and a clean line throughout. I don't want to lose that in the tailoring.
My questions: should I take this to a better local tailor (I'm in the Boston area), or can I trust the Nordstrom people? Also, what's the deal if the alterations don't turn out well? Can an item be returned after the tailoring (because it's Nordstrom work on a Nordstrom item)?
Thanks for any input!
