I went to this place because it had so many highly starred reviews. Now that I have experienced their service, quote unquote, I have to suspect that these reviewers were either family members, paid shills, or compulsive liars. This is by far the worst tailoring experience I have ever had. I took in a blazer to get a new lining---simple, right?---and it has turned into a total farce. It was not ready on the date it was due---in fact, I had to go back several times---and then when I wore it out the first night I discovered that the center seam in back WAS NOT EVEN SEWN SHUT. After humiliating myself in public for an evening---I looked like Cary Grant in "Bringing Up Baby" after Katharine Hepburn ripped his tux into tatters---I took it back again for it to be fixed. But "fixed" doesn't seem to mean very much to the proprietor of J & M tailors, because due to what must have been some truly amazing fingerwork, the "repair" was a bunched up knotted mess. It looked like the center vent had a squash ball sewn into the lining. I took it back yet again, just now, because I needed to wear it to the theater tonight, and I was told that he could not help me now. The work at J&M is way beyond shoddy; it is beyond even simple ineptitude and incompetence and ham-fisted clumsiness. It is like a kind of spite. And so what am I stuck with now, after my $85---no offer of refund was made, of course---is a totally unwearable blazer.
On top of everything, now I have to go pay another tailor to fix what J&M has messed up. Or maybe I'll just employ a trained raccoon; it'll botch the job, no doubt, but probably not as spectacularly as J&M.
And it will be much cheaper.
