    Default Need a Suit tailor

    Any reccomendations for a good tailor in Calgary? I bought some new high end suits and need some cuff adjustments and maybe a collar on one and of course pants hemmed.

    First problem is I need em done by next week Tuesday. (July 17)

    Anybody know of any reputable tailors that they trust? and work fast?

    Yep the guy in Crowfoot worked great for this one. I've since had some work done in Creekside Alterations and Repairs. She does good work, but takes her time and have heard that she doesn't like to be rushed. So maybe don't take it to her for a rush job.

    Bump, any recent recommendations, specifically in the SW? @89coupe do you have a go-to in this neck of the woods?

    It doesn't need to be completed in a timely manner, but I really care about it being done well. I don't want a hack wrecking my expensive clothes.

    If you can make it downtown to Bankers hall, World of Vici does a great job and tailors a large portion of the Flames players suits. The owner, Matt Eaton, is a great guy and easy to work with.

    https://worldofvici.com/

    Edit: Also recommend grabbing a bamboo dress shirt or two, super comfortable, durable and just require hang to dry after a wash.

    Any idea what they start at? They were at a golf tournament last year as a hole sponsor, seemed like a good group

    Yo bro, are you from that goat Calgary car forum that get salty over lawn care, land rovers and circumcisions? That's straight fire.

    I think they are around $1-1.2k starting range for the more staple fabrics. Great guys for sure and have grown a lot over the last few years. They do custom shoes and hats as well, if that's your thing.

    You gotta tag all the engineers if you want the goods on playing dress up. They have to trade in the khakis and polo tops once a year for the ring polishing ceremony.

    That's not even how it works. Other members end up polishing them during the Dutch Rudder Thursday Semenar (just before Good Friday) and the Midsummer Night's Cream Cockring Exchange Social in July.

    *no Software Engineers allowed and all other pretend "PL.Eng" whatevers will be Weak Bottoms (not Power Bottoms).
