I'm curious to know if you all have experienced a tailor that didn't want to do what you wanted them to. I'm 6'3" 210lb, ~43" chest and ~36" waist so I prefer my clothing to be slim fitting. I've had two different tailors and a small local menswear shopkeeper tell me that they didn't want to modify something because the jacket was already tight enough. They all want to put a full break on my pants, even when I tell them that I want nearly no break.
I need to take a suit back to the tailor after putting it on at home and finding out that the pants have a full break, after specifying none. While I'm up there, I'm taking the jacket and telling them to do as I say (in a kind way).
Is this common among older (age) tailors? I guess the lesson is to be firm about what I want so there isn't rework.
