Hello. I am looking for a good cost effective tailor. BUT...
Just show up and explain. Insist on getting everything pinned - not only chalked. It's important so you can visualize the expected result of the alterations.
I've had my pants slimmed by both the son and father at Cardelino. To be honest I prefer the son. He cuts my stuff very slim the way I like them, and did a damn good job too. The father does well too, but definitely not as slim as I'd wanted, but also not boxy and ridiculous looking either. I actually asked the father to make things slimmer, he kind of was hesitant, but he did what I asked, and it actually ended up being too slim/looking awkward on me! I wish I had just followed his advice.
My Wilfred's experience - I needed to get sleeves of a jacket shortened at the shoulder because it had functioning buttonholes. After reading this thread I decided to try out Wilfred's - during the consultation they seemed to know what they were doing so I was pretty comfortable with it.
