So I moved to SLO from LA. I had been using a very well-known tailor in LA that I used to go to that was very reliable. When I moved to SLO, there were only 3 reputable tailors in the area, and I am glad that I chose Cathy to do my work.
First of all, I am extremely particular about the way my alterations are done and I am OCD about how my clothes fit. I've gone to other tailors before and have been disappointed before. So when I moved to SLO, I was very anxious because I didn't think that I could find a tailor that was as good as the one I had in LA.
When I gave my jacket to Cathy to alter, she got a really good read on me and she knew that I would be a very "particular" kind of customer. She made sure that we tried multiple fittings before she finished any alterations just to make sure that it would end up exactly the way I had wanted it. She also tapered a pair of jeans that I had. When I tried them on, I was very satisfied with the way they turned out, but Cathy, being as keen as she is, wanted to make another adjustment to the alteration she had done so that it would look even better. Needless to say, she was right and the jeans fit perfectly and better than I had expected.
I will eventually be moving out of SLO, but I will continue to visit the town from time to time. When I do, I will be bring all my alteration work to Cathy and no one else!
