Went in for a consultation because my normal go-to tailor is on vacation in his home country til August. Thought I’d give this guy a shot in the meantime because I really needed my suit tailored.
Not only did he tell me he can’t tailor anything because I wasn’t fully dressed to the nines for measurements, but he told me the alterations I needed (lapels laying flat on chest instead of popping & a pair of pants hemmed) were IMPOSSIBLE.
My go-to tailor and I have been working the suits I buy the same way EVERY TIME on numerous occasions as I buy my suits all the same exact size from the same exact brand because I KNOW they can be altered PERFECTLY everytime. Low and behold, I waited for my tailor to get back from his vacation and he tailored my “impossible” suit to perfection!!!
The Neirman tailor doesn’t have a clue what’s going on as my tailor hemmed the pants beautifully with a perfect break sitting slightly above my the shoe and he altered the jacket to sit beautifully flat on my chest, as a sport coat should.
Make the trip out to Gus in Hartford’s it’s a hell of a ride, yes...but you’re going to get 1) A personality 2) A respectful, knowledgeable GENTLEMAN who will treat you with respect and offer reasoning as to why something wouldn’t be able to get tailored, if that’s the case, and 3) Extremely reasonable prices by a true master tailor. Someone who has put in the needed time, money, and energy to be able to call himself a master. You’re making a mistake going to Nerimans. Trust me.
