Should I find a new alterations tailor and cleaner?

[Dan35]

I’m wondering if my tailor is using a proper invisible stitch to hem suit trousers. They messed up on a few other alterations, so my patience is dwindling. Images 1,2,3 are of the hem stitching (2&3 are the same garment).

I’m also wondering if they’re ruining my suits with their dry cleaning. I get my suits cleaned sparingly, but I had to take this Brioni in last week for cleaning. It came back with some creases in weird spots (image 4), and I’m not looking to ruin a $4,000+ suit by paying someone to clean it. Are these creases damaging the suit and/or permanent? Or are they temporary and I’m just being too picky? I’m new to tailoring, so I don’t know what to look for yet.

Thank you guys so much!

Those creases in all images are a result of machine "pressing" by a "bang and hang" cleaner. It's got nothing to do with the quality of the trouser or the tailoring. Find a true quality dry cleaner in your area who knows how to hand iron a garment -- starting by hand ironing the inside and concluding with the outside.

the pressing is poorly done.

The hem stitching is not great. The stitching should be nearly invisible if properly done.

With some patience you can do a better job hemming your own trousers. It’s about picking up the smallest amount of fabric necessary with the needle.

Dry cleaners and alteration tailors are usually separate categories.
To find the best alterations tailor in your area, go to the highest end
men's shop or department and ask whom these use for "special
alterations" or for when their own staff has excess work. Otherwise,
even in my area, which is super affluent and cosmopolitan, most
tailors are clueless: best for hemming jeans and shortening sleeves.
