I bought a cheap suit with the intention of making it look good through tailoring, but I don’t know how to actually get that done. The local stores don’t have websites and haven’t picked up when I called, should I just walk in with the suit? Do I need an appointment? Also, how much should I expect to pay? (California)
I live a fair drive from the local alternation/tailor shops (rural life), so I figured I’d try to ask before making the drive out just to make a fool of myself.
I thought Jos A. Bank (stylized spelling of Joseph A. Bank) closed down a number of years ago. I remember getting some decent stuff on sale or closeout there very cheap. I was a bit sad to see it go. Maybe it’s still around under new ownership or something though.
The hole in the wall dry cleaning place across from me does alterations fwiw. You could look for places like that near you and ask.
Can confirm that Jos A Bank is still around near me
They are still around in S.E. VA
Lots of dry cleaners also do alterations on site if anyone is interested.
