On the other hand, does anyone have an answer to my question about buttonholes?? |

i am asking because i ordered 3 regular fit shirts and they are huge on me...so i am thinking i should exchange them and get the slimmer fit.... |
they are slim fit and they were still a little large, I have a 16.5 inch neck, broad shoulders and a large chest with a 34 inch waist though. I had the sides and arms tapered. All 3 shirts are going to cost $78 at Oakridge tailors. You could just get the regular fit shirts slimmed down at a tailor since you're probably going to end up doing that any way. |

For those who want a bespoke suit within a reasonable price range should try WW Chan (http://www.wwchan.com/) who will visit Seattle in March. Suits start at about $1100 USD but I've heard fantastic reviews. My understanding is that it is true bespoke and not high end MTM. |

Just picked up my 3 piece suit from Oakridge Tailors. They made alterations to the jacket and vest (made both more fitting) along with hemming the pants. Overall, great job for $180. The suit fits way better now, compared to no alterations. I guess with every suit, one must make alterations cuz anything off the rack is pretty generic and not all bodies are the same shape. |
just to add another thing, Joy and William know their shit. They totally fixed up my cuffs, a job that a previous tailor had done a sub par job on. Also, the jacket tended to lay strangely at the vent, so they restructured the lining inside TWICE to make it fit perfectly, with no extra charge on both occasions. |

Just my 2cents. :) |
^ technically.................. =P Can anyone recommend me a tailor to do a taper? I'm looking to cut the inseam from the inside, not the outseam, might require more work. |
Where can I find RLBL in Vancouver?!? Been looking for a retailer that carries RLBL for awhile now... |

+ Any more comments on Albert's on Robson? Any experience around here for a tailor on repairing some damage on a suit? My pant belt loops need a bit of work, but there is extra fabric from the pants to be let down to patch it up with. |
price point was reasonable all my alterations came in at around $100 that included re-working the shoulders, sides, cuffs, arms, and vent on the jacket, and tapering the pants. they're at 5534 Cambie 604 325 0545 give them a call |
just bumped into this thread and got some questions. Im looking to buy a suit jacket but I dont have that much to spend, I can only afford the ones from like Mexx, or banana republic but not from boss or holt. The thing is that I am kind of small (5'7 with a small frame) and alot of the suits fit baggy on me. Are these tailors able to customize the entire suit to fit me better?...will they have to re-do everything such as length, cuffsm shoulders and waiste?...also, when wearing a suit jacket, how low is it suppose to go?...whats the correct length of one... |
Hi Nano, There is actually no standard length for suit jackets. That being said, suits are generally divided into small regular and long for jacket lengths so that the suit stays proportionate. Id recommend buying a blazer instead of just a suit jacket. These tailors can customize these suits TO A POINT - do not go in there trying to get the shoulders re-structured, it would be a waste of your money and time. Make sure the jacket fits in the shoulders, this is CRUCIAL. The other parts (waist, cuffs) can be modified. The length of the jacket wont be modified. I'd consider saving up and getting a quality suit or blazer. If you check forums, you may be able to find a quality suit for less money than you thought. (edit: Banana Republic has some decently fitted and constructed suits and jackets if i remember correctly, choose that over Mexx or Zara). It may just not be worth it to buy a Mexx suit then try to get a tailor to turn it into something amazing I saw a Ralph Lauren Purple Label blazer jacket in 38R for like $400 US recently, not a bad deal |

ok, i want to bump this sucker for some additional commentary i've got 4 boss suits that need the jackets taken in (compared to my 2 tailored suits, i will never buy off the rack suits again, too much pain to get them adjusted) - so i went to albert's today at 12:15 - no one there - but man, what a dump that place is, its like he's got 1 room to work in... not exactly the most inviting place to come and take relatively nice suits that need work that i would suggest is not the most simple in the world... so, alberts - can he do suits (adjustments to suit jackets and the seat of the trousers?) or should i be taking them elsewhere? there is the potential for 4 full suit adjustmetns & 2 trouser adjustments, so that's quite a lot of money - i won't just take it to anyone thanks for any additional commentary |
i'll recommend the same people as before take your boss gear there and they'll be able to do it for sure. if you dont have a great feeling about alberts in the first place, and you are already considering going somewhere else, then go somewhere else |
