Alterations & Repairs
It's estimated that approximately 85% of men's suits require some form of alteration or repair. Understanding the various services available is important to ensure customers obtain their desired fit and look.
Tailoring is how an existing garment is adjusted to better fit someone's body shape. It can involve making alterations such as shortening sleeves, hemming trousers, taking in seams, and adjusting waistbands. Additionally, tailors may replace missing buttons and take on more complex repairs like replacing zippers or entire sections of fabric.
Repairs are typically needed when fabrics become damaged due to wear-and-tear over time. This could mean patching up tears or holes in the material or darning with needlework stitches where necessary. Suits made from delicate fabrics like silk will require careful handling during repairs so they're not further damaged by incorrect stitching techniques.
In summary, alterations and repairs make all the difference when creating a perfect custom fit for a man's suit. Understanding these processes helps me provide quality advice tailored to individual needs - ensuring everyone walks away looking sharp!
