A Good Tailor Can Work Miracles 

Finding "your" tailor is much harder than finding "a" tailor. You're looking for a person to help your create your look.  

7 Tips to Finding the Right Tailor:

• The label doesn't matter. A good tailor can make a so-so suit look good and a good suit look smashing. No matter how expensive the garment, if it doesn't fit right, it's a wasted opportunity to look great.

• Don't let an inexperienced tailor near your clothes. You wouldn't let an inexperienced surgeon remove your appendix, would you? Good tailors have a long history with cloth. Most apprenticed for years to learn the trade. A surprising number come from a family lineage of tailors.  You can ask them how long they've been doing it, they'll probably be glad to tell you.
