I am trying to recreate the original thread that was lost to the Great Crash MMVI. Please post your experiences here. From what I can remember, the following tailors were mentioned in the past:
Alexi
Bhambi
Ignacio
Campos & Campos
Dynasty
Peppino
Wilfred's
L&S
And how about the in-house tailors:
Bergdorf Goodman
Barneys
Saks
Neiman Marcus
Paul Stuart
Polo Mansion
Alexi:
On E77 between 2nd & 3rd I think. I've heard many good things about this tailor but I haven't tried him. He's a custom tailor also does alternation work. He seems to be the most promising in terms of quality. Don't know about the prices.
Bhambi:
I had only one experience with them. Sleeves shortening with working button holes. I was extremely satisfied with their quality. The button holes are hand-sewn at $10 each, a good deal but they charged me $40 for shortening EACH sleeve!
Peppino:
No experience with him, but the stories I heard in recent posts are very scary. Shutting side vents without instructing them to, uneven sleeve lengths and shortening sleeve too short with working button holes already put on.
Campos & Campos:
On W13 can't remember the cross ave. No experience but I inquired their prices, very expensive.
Wilfred's:
My experience with them are mixed from ok to very good. But with prices they are charging I am looking for someone with more consistent quality. One member mentioned they shortened sleeves from shoulder with very good result.
Dynasty:
I don't anything about their quality and prices but member recommended them. I think they are in the high 30's around Madison.
L&S and Ignacio:
No experience with them. In the same neighborhood as Peppino.
Neiman Marcus:
No experience but very reasonable prices. They say they'll accept purchases from Last Call stores. I was told their main alternation opearation is in the Short Hills store and button holes are machine sewn.
Bergdorf Goodman:
Very good. But only accept in-store purchases. If I could send everything to them I would.
Saks Flagship:
No experience. Will accept purchases from Off 5th Ave. stores.
Barneys:
No experience but their prices seem very reasonable. Machine sewn button holes. Would like to give them a try for my warehouse sale purchases.
Questions regarding in-house tailors. What if they botch an alternation job? Refunding your purchases?
