Michael bought a few suits that he snagged on super sale, and brought them to us to work our magic. The jacket was quite wide at the shoulder (it angled out an abnormal amount), and sleeves were too wide, but the bottom of the jacket fit him perfectly!
So we slimmed both side seams, slimmed the sleeves and reset the should into that perfect modern suit!
Do you have an over-sized suit that you want slimmed down? We can definitely do it, but when we need to reset the shoulders it does involve a lot more time, and usually starts at 3 hours of work (at $50/hour). With that being said, if you get a suit at super sale, OR you’ve had it in the closet for so many years, OR it’s an amazing hand-me-down from your father or grandfather, then it is totally worth the investment to custom fit it to you, and it will certainly be cheaper than a new suit! Give us a call at (202)567-7668 or email at info@gingerrootdesign.com if you want us to take a look at your suits. We also do simple suit alterations like pants hemmings and just taking in the waist a little as well!
*Tailoring by appointment only. Closed Wednesdays and Sundays.
