Nothing should be more simple for a tailor or seam...

Nothing should be more simple for a tailor or seamstress than hemming a pair of khakis. Perhaps sewing a button... Take 'em to the seamstress at your local dry cleaner and, presto! Unfortunately, not so fast. How many times has my local hack screwed this up. Ok, so I'm particular, very particular. But really, outside seam top of band to bottom of hem 40" is not that difficult an instruction to follow. I recently brought a dozen pairs of khakis of various shades and weights to Alteration Specialists. Half were new, half were redos. My only instruction beyond the above was to please do a good job--no uneven legs, please, and 40" means, well, 40". I've tried most of them on and actually worn four of them (the only real way to try). The verdict: fantastic! So far, spot on! I will, for sure, be using them again. By the way, I was shocked by the price. Given the address and "this is not your seamstress stuffed in a corner of you local dry cleaner" setup I expected the price to be far higher. In fact I almost felt I was undercharged. Well done, everyone!!! BTW, I HAVE NOT BE ASKED OR SOLICITED OR KNOW THE OWNER OR RECEIVED SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR POSTING THIS! -Will
