I cannot recommend enough! Your clothes look nicer, but they also last a lot longer when they're altered to work with your body instead of against it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago* (1 child) How much do they cost? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hrimfaxi_work@midwest.social 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) It varies. You can find some very affordable tailors that do really good work. It depends a lot on what you want done. Take in a shirt? Maybe $30. Tons of alterations on a suit jacket? Could be $150+. It really depends. I've found that a good tailor is worth every penny, though. I have many 20 year old clothing items that still look good and aren't overly worn because they fit well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Alright, so probably not for me, as the only upper body wear I like is plain red t-shirts, which come pretty cheap anyways. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hrimfaxi_work@midwest.social 2 points 3 years ago Yeah, I don't think t-shirts are necessarily bigtime tailoring candidates, but pretty much all pants are! I currently have a brand of OTR pants that fit me nicely, so I don't have every single pair of pants I buy tailored. But the difference is noticeable when I do have a pair done. I like Levis 514 jeans, but they're cut for wider hips than I posess. A little take-in and maybe a different hem length drastically changes the way I look in jeans. It adds a tidiness that makes them more versatile. permalink fedilink source parent
