Wazin is too expensive basic alterations. If you need something major done, go to him, I guess.
yup, for example if you're just hemming pants, go to local dry cleaners
wazin charged me $20 for hem and cuff sometime last year. I don’t that’s expensive for nyc, or I’ve just been overpaying my whole life.
the other issue is there’s always a risk with trying out a new guy that could mess up your garment.
can't wait. I'm in!For those interested, I Sarti Italiani will be swinging through NYC again March 7-8. Available times for 1-hour appointments are Saturday at 5, 6, and 7pm, and Sunday morning at 10 and 11am. Address is 116 John St in the City (that will change starting with the next visit in the fall). DM if you have any questions.
you got determination, none of my stuff are working other than bespoke, and I wonder if I would even bother to ask working button hole if they're willing to discount otherwise...
I'm getting some machine made buttonholes for 2 jackets by Tailoring NYC. I'll report back how it goes in 2 weeks when I get them back. $65 per jacket for 8 buttonholes total ( 4 each sleeve), also attaching the buttons. Not too bad, they use a Juki if that matters.
Yea man, it's rough trying to get handmade button holes in NYC. I gave up that idea a while ago. Have you posted what yours look like?Yeah I wasn’t planning on it but I was convinced when he showed me an example that he allegedly did and it was impeccably done. When I asked why none of mine looked like that he responded that he didn’t know I was so particular about the buttonholes and that sometimes when he’s making them he doesn’t pay close attention...
Thank you for the response! Unfortunately I’ve been told that it isn’t possible to redo handmade button holes using a machine, apparently the machine cuts and sews at the same time, where as hand sewn are cut then sewn, so it’d have to be redone by hand (or so I’m told). But thank you nonetheless!
