Rant: My tailor is a douche that can do no wrong

So I brought him a pair of jeans to slim down a bit and when I went in to get it today, I noticed the fit was a bit odd, I took it off and looked at it and the symmetry of the jeans was off.

I calmly asked him why it was like that and he just started raising his voice at me. In fact, every time in the past when I questioned his work, he would say that is just how it is and I trusted him but not this time. Jeans should not be tailored this way and his excuse was, "that is just how jeans are, I have no control".

Seriously? I felt so belittled, I didn't want to get into it with him because there is somewhat of a language barrier and I'm not the type to cause a scene, he obviously wasn't admitting fault so there was no further point of me being there. I paid my money and left.

The job of the last pair of jeans was good, don't know how there could be such a big difference but..whatever, he lost a customer and referrals.

Local tailors are pretty rare where I live so I guess I'll have to start traveling farther for good and honest work.

Anybody else get this?

A good tailor is more important to a man than a good doctor....Find a GOOD one!
