Title: Suit tailoring Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, January 15, 2013, 16:26:41 I've a couple of suits bought pre-weightloss which are now too big for me.
They're not exactly Savile Row but they still cost me a few bob. Rather than stumping out for a couple of new suits, is it worth getting them tailored/taken in? If so, any recommendations?

The bulldog clip might get me funny looks in the office. Wait a couple of years and they'll fit you again. How cynical.

I know of a seamstress in Calne who could probably take them in.

Jensons in Gorse Hill (just past the co-op going North) does tailoring - the bloke is a bit strange but I've used him successfully for this in the past.

I'll have to pop in and see what they suggest.

I've seen what you wear.Title: Re: Suit tailoring Post by: Honkytonk on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, 12:17:17 Marks and Sparks actually do some great cheap suits. Less than 50 quid for something machine-washable and that looks like a suit 100 quid more expensive? I'll take that.
