Hi all,
I picked up a couple fully canvassed Caruso suits from the Clad going-out-of-business sale that are pretty amazing! As I need to get the unfinished sleeves adjusted, I was just wondering what is a reasonable rate for this work by a good tailor? The best tailor I've found in central NJ is Alicja Maciejewicz (euro-tailoring.com) who's very good but also very expensive. To adjust the sleeves, create buttonholes, and sew on working buttons she charges $108 (per coat). That sounds high to me, but I am confident she would do an excellent job. Should I take them to her, or wait until I'm in NYC and take them to Mid City or someone else? Thanks in advance!
