Here's an update. I think Maria at Golden Needle did an excellent job! It wasn't cheap. It was $285 for hand-sewn button holes, shortening the sleeves and finishing the slacks length, as well as tapering the jacket a little. But she seems very knowledgeable and, despite her shop being very...- Chiboy

Thank you. I ended up taking the jacket and slacks to Maria at Golden Needle. It was an hour long slog into the city on a Saturday afternoon and then another hour to get back to the suburbs, lol. I hope it's worth it! She seems very knowledgable, hand stitches the sleeve buttonholes, and...- Chiboy

Thank you. Not sure it's "reasonable," but a tailor recommended here charges $20/buttonhole ($160 for the suit), and I feel like I might as well do it "right." They do it by hand. We shall see. If I wear this jacket for as long as I wore my blue HF blazer, the cost will be insignificant. lol- Chiboy

Surgeon Cuff Advice
I don't know. Are Zegna (not Z Zegna) jackets not made with handsewn buttonholes? Are Zegna jackets not "worthy" of paying for hawnsewn buttonholes on the cuffs? I guess I was thinking "hey, this is a pretty darn nice jacket and I can add a nice touch to it." But I sense you are saying it is...- Chiboy

Surgeon Cuff Advice
Thank you so much for the informative response! I'm not trying to to pretend this is something it's not, so I guess doing something "creative" with a buttonhole color is to be frowned upon. The estimates I have gotten from the Zegna store as well as one of the independent tailors recommended...- Chiboy

Surgeon Cuff Advice
On Saturday, I am going to pick up a jacket I saw at the Zegna outlet a couple of weeks ago. The salesman mentioned getting real buttonholes (surgeon cuffs) and I have since gotten intrigued by the idea. They are expensive -- the Zegna store in the city charges $150 to sew them -- but I...- Chiboy

Hello! I am about to buy a Zegna jacket and slacks from a Zegna outlet store here and want to get it tailored right. I spoke with the Zegna regular store on Michigan Avenue (in Chicago) and they will be happy to help. Of course, since it will be purchased at the outlet store, I will pay for...- Chiboy

Introduce yourself.
Chiboy here. Got my first suit in 20+ years this year, and am now about to buy a jacket to replace my trusty Hickey-Freeman blue blazer that I've had most of my adult life. I love quality and could use some expert opinions. Nice to be here...- Chiboy
