tailors

A few weeks ago i was complaining to leslie that my nice jeans have two holes forming in them, one on the knee and one in the crotch. She had the same pair with the same holes, except she got them patched and they are fine now. Awesome, i'll just get mine patched too.

Disaster

The knee got a 7 inch patch so the fabric no longer bends when i walk, so if you look at my knee it looks like there is some sort of knee pad inside my pants. awesome. also the place where the hole was they didnt even match the thread color when they sewed back and forth over it.

The crotch patch is sewn on 3 of the 4 sides which means that one side is already peeling off, and there is some sort of itchy material sticking out of all the sides that scratches every time i take a step.

The icing on the cake was an added bonus. On my drive to work this morning i noticed a bump on my thigh that felt kinda sticky. when i got to work i went into the bathroom to see what it was. mint gum.

Thanks Georgetown valet in Clarendon. you managed to ruin a 200 dollar pair of jeans. word to the wise...DONT GO THERE.

yikes. the good tailor is actually a wash and fold with a sewing machine...La Clinique Cleaners at W 57th and 10th Ave. I suggest them for all your patching needs.

Just be glad it wasn't Joey Tribiani's tailor.

You mean cuppage isn't normal?

I'd trust the tailors listed here... http://aseriousjobisnoexcuse.blogspot.com/2007/09/well-tailor-and-cobble-me-happy.html

The guy on the 2nd floor catty corner from Benetton in Georgetown is pricey but does a good job.
