    hey everyone, i'm looking to buy a suit... i found the one i want, but unfortunately, it needs tailoring. i need the jacket to be tapered down in the body/stomach area and shortened...

    any suggestions? the place i'm buying it from doesn't do these kinds of alterations. thanks in advance!

    man, clutchfans keeping it real - nobody wears a suit regularly? ;)
    how about a custom suit maker? no family friends? just trying to keep my money in "the family."

    If you're in Houston, check out Saigon Tailors near midtown on Alabama at Main. They do custom work and alterations. I had them alter a suit and they did a fantastic job.

    there's this Tailor I went to alternate my suit a few years back, he did a damn good job of it, my gf at the time always went to him to do her alterations and she loved his work and still goes to him today, he's over at an office building off of Westhimer/Voss, I can get his number from my ex for you if you want

    EDIT: n/m apparently he has his own CitySearch page :)
