UPDATE:

I found a new guy a couple of weeks ago. Uses chalk and also makes custom shirts and suits.

However, for 2 suits with sleeves, pant hem, waist, etc... it was $340. That hurt a little today

Honestly that’s not bad at all.

That’s not a bad price. I bought a suit 3 years ago from an excellent menswear shop. I paid around $1700, it included a tailored shirt. I only wear a suit for special occasions and to be buried in. :eek:

I think what made my price go up was some work on one pair of pants to cut down the legs: $140

At least that's what I saw on the posted price list.

Would that basically be taking the pants in half to make the legs skinnier and then sewing them back together? Almost like making a whole pair of pants, minus upper details?

If so, sounds like a lot of work and reason for the expense. The seamstress I go to charges $10 to make legs shorter; not sure about skinnier.
