He's a pleasure to deal with and a real class act.

How much did Field's charge for all that work? I have been using Christopher Kim and had him do similar work on a suit for me (minus the buttonholes). He charged me $270. It would be nice to know how that compares to others.

Thanks!

I used Kim and he did a very good job. Not cheap, mind you, but probably no more expensive than Field's and closer to downtown. He charged me $150 to fix the back and collar, and $125 to let out the seat and front and hem the pants. It does sting a bit when he mentions the price but the results really look good so I'll go back.

I'd give Casa Oaxaca in Adams Morgan, and Oyamel in Chinatown a whirl. From personal experience, the latter is kind of fancy pants Mexican, but very good. The former is well-regarded as well.

My recollection is that it was about 380.
