I've been satisfied with using Railcar a half dozen times; usually for tapering and hemming.

I have used Williamsburg Garment Company for taking in the waist. I would go back and consider their other services as well. I learned of them from Put This On.

I have long accepted that I am not the type of guy who would wear a sweater vest as a tank top. Consider accordingly.

neither am i but i think this will look cool on a plain white/ grey tee!

is there an easy way to search for all pictures posted by a user? trying to find a specific one from a while back and it's damn near impossible through the profile page.

I've used Williamsburg Garment Company for mail-in hemming. The process is pretty simple: you just mark where you want the pants hemmed and they will do it for you. The downside to this process is that a tailor won't be able to tell you if your desired length makes sense. But I imagine most people here don't need that kind of assistance. I folded the pants to where I wanted, carefully took them off, and then attached a binder clip to make sure the crease would stay folded when the jeans arrived at WGC. They then hemmed the pants and sent them back.

The shop is owned and run by Maurice Malone, who some might remember from the 90s. I thought that was kinda cool and it was part of the reason for me choosing them.

thanks for the info. decided to go with williamsburg since they're on the same side of the country as me so the turn around should be a bit quicker.

One time, ONE time, when I was looking at leather goods, I saw the JW Anderson penis-shaped coin purse and now it's all over my ads. I'm all nervous that someone is gonna see it and wonder what the hell i'm doing.

Now you have to buy it so you can hit "I already bought this"

Two “should I bother?” tailoring questions that are more suitable for the SWD side, and this seems like the best place to crowdsource:

After shortening the sleeves of a coat, ~1/8th of an inch of lining shows by my thumbs when I stretch out my arms (but doesn’t show at all when my arms are by my sides). Worth bringing back to the tailor to cut the lining back a bit?

Have a crew neck sweatshirt that fits right everywhere except the length, even after many washes and dries. Worth having my tailor shorten it by ~2 inches to match my other sweatshirts?

IMO if the lining thing bothers you, have your tailor adjust it. Should be a quick, cheap fix. On the length, I would rather a sweatshirt be longer than short, so I wouldn’t have it shortened. Can let it slouch/bunch a bit at the waist or wear it long under a jacket. Depends on your proportions though, at my height and proportions (6’1”, longer legs and rise) I could get away with it; YMMV

I’d encourage you to embrace and enjoy the variety rather than try to have all your sweatshirts (or replace with shirts/pants/coats - same idea) match in length. It’s nicer to have some trimmer and some wider, some shorter and some longer.

I went to Chateau @whorishconsumer and he pawned all of the **** he didn't want and watched some Demolition Man.
I gotta say overalls and mesh crop too might have to be my summer fit. I just need to actually get fit again.
