YouTubeI recently picked up a couple suits and I need the pants tailored. Can anyone make any recommendations? How much does this sort of thing normally cost and how long does it take? I'd prefer a place that'll actually take measurements instead of asking what length I buy my pants.

I go to a place off Brice Road across the street from Lowes.
I don't see a simple pant hem there costing more than $5-10 per pair.
I took in two pairs of jeans not long ago, one to have the zipper replaced and another to get some of the flare taken out and it was like $25...which are obviously more labor intensive than a simple hem...and she did excellent work. She did request a few days to complete the job, though.

personally, i don't entrust my clothing with anybody other than boris or his wife, marika. they'll do the type of shit -- taking a jacket apart at the shoulder, for example -- that the tailors at saks and nordstrom simply can't. and if you're talking about a suit, which is an investment of sorts ... let's just say you don't want just any old swinging dick cutting it up. go see boris or marika; tell them ryan morgan sent you.
Agreed-Boris.

Awwww, this was the thread I was trying to find. The guys who mentioned Boris are 100% correct. I had this same problem when I moved to Columbus. I had some French Cuff shirts that were a little too long, and saw French Tailor on Front, i believe? Worst work ever, the sleeves were made entirely too short, and I was furious because the shirt was basically ruined. After asking some locals if we had any local places for menswear besides Nordstrom and Saks, I was refered to Godfrey's in the Worthington Mall ( if anyone desires more "classic" lines than what this Saks offers check them out) and Godfrey's informed me they send all of their clients to Boris. I tried them out, and have used them ever sense. I had one problem with a cuff hem coming out once on a pair of khakis, but they fixed the problem. I have also heard of a great tailor out in Gahanna, but I cannot remember the name, and frankly I do not even think I have been to Gahanna, so I stick to Boris.

is boris good for women's gowns? i need to have a bridesmaid dress altered for a july wedding, and it's going to be one of those pesky jobs with weird specifications.
