Hey guys,

I just bought a really gorgeous L.B.M. 1911 chalk stripe suit. It's an unlined, unconstructed soft suit.

The work I need done is:
-Jacket shortened just a tad
-Sleeves shortened (lost buttons and holes replaced)
-Pants hemmed (possibly slimmed just a tad)

This is by far the nicest suit I've ever owned and I would obviously like this work to be done right. I go to Carnegie Mellon so things in this area would be best. I've read a number of other threads on this forum and a few names have stood out.

Pasquale in Squirrel Hill
Frank Cicco in Buttler (although this is really pretty far)
Ruby's in Shadyside
Rocky's
Distillo's
Rossi Tailoring in Mt. Lebanon

I'm hoping you guys might be able to offer some insight into what the best place to get this sort of high skill work done at. I got a very good deal on the suit so I have room in the budget for good tailoring but it would be helpful if you could offer some insight into cost as well. Thanks very much!


~Andrew
