I have a pair of poplin suit trousers that need to be let out 2" in the waist. I've been considering asking the hotel butler service to send them out and ensure that I get them back within 24hrs or less, but I don't want them outsourcing to some cheap alterationist who will make a mess of my pants. Can anyone recommend a reliable and FAST tailor who can do this, preferably nearby the hotel? It's a simple matter of letting out some of the fabric at the waist, so I don't even really need a fitting and coul potentially leave them with the hotel while out one day, but I'd like to get some suggestions and feedback from others first.
Thank you!
My suggestion would be to contact the concierge at the St. Regis or Brooks Brothers. Your local BB (via a NYC BB) or BB customer service may be able to help with a preferred tailor.
