I need to have some jeans and trousers altered but all the local tailors are beyond useless and have already ruined two pairs of jeans. I need a tailor that I can post the jeans to, with a sample pair to show him how I want them.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Erm, why not post asking for recommendations of decent tailors in your local area?

Tailors-by-post sounds like MOT's-by-post, and equally reliable.


Oli.

Because the one's I have tried were crap. All 4 of them. 2 pairs of trousers for me, and two tops for SWMBO.
I'll take my chances by post biggrin

'Decent tailor' and 'post' doesn't work.

I have someone I use to use. However you have to go for a measuring up and the whole fandang-go first.

If you're willing to do this, there are quite a few available.

Other option is to find a local one who is good.

Why not? The tailor I used to use in London (shut down now frown ) would take a pair of jeans that fitted me perfectly and use that to show him how I wanted the new pair. I would give him them and say "Make them exactly like these, please."

Where abouts is your tailor?

My wife offers such a service, all profits donated to the Children's Chronic Arthritis Association. PM me and I'll pass her email on to you. Obviously if done by post all measurements are your responsibility!
