Any recommendations on a tailor in Bakersfield? I have a bunch of Mabitex pants that need to get fitted.

I have to smile because the best tailor I ever had was in Bakersfield. He was downtown ( the downtown bars then were Goose Looneys and the Alley Cat) - but I lived there in 92-93 and he was pretty old then. I am guessing that he is no longer with us (or at least retired.) I have been searching for a tailor as good as him since. Maybe someone took over his shop. If not, isn't the Patrick James store still on Ming? Stop in there and ask for a reco. Good luck. Go have lunch at Luigis!

Goose Looney is still around, and still probably the most happening place in that little oil town... for better or worse
