| - Abstract: HABIB AIN'T NO BITCH.
There are tailors, and there is Habib.
Habib could beat the shit out of your tailor; of that there is little doubt. But Habib is so classy he won't make note of that. Just take my word for it. (And don't go snitching to Habib that I said so)
And Habib ain't no bitch. He knows exactly what he is doing. Probably the best tailor in the valley accessible to us regular kind of folks.
The one suit I possess is clownishly over*sized (on me) and baggy. Habib has never touched it with his golden brown hands. But if I were not "The Grappling Monk"/Hobo and had an infinitesimal amount of style, I have no doubt in me that Habib would make the cheap suit I purchased from Kenneth Cole at Las Vegas Premium Outlets North for 100 bucks off the rack look like a thousand bucks, easily.
No, TWO thousand dollars.
I don't go to Habib to alter clothes. I go to Habib to patch my Brasilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) kimonos (GIs). I have gone to other places that charge WAY more than Habib and in less than one roll the fucking patch is coming off. If you find a place that will double-stitch it to stay on, it will still look like shit compared to Habib's work. (And cost more)
If you want your patch on crooked, the stitching on it to be crooked, and for it to come off in less than a full season: just go to your local dry cleaning/alterations storefront and give it some untrained goon. You will be looking like a young teen white belt that had their mom put the back patch on their KI-brand GI (in other words, you will look like an asshole). Black belts go to Habib for a reason.
If you are in the Armed Forces -- I write this review during the sequestration, so I am sorry -- but Habib is the man to go to for your service patches. The BX personnel don't give two shits about your patch being crooked and/or not according to regs. Bring your uniforms to Habib, pin the patches exactly where they belong in the shop, and tell him when you will pick it up. Habib does not tell you "one week," or some mierda like that; Habib asks "when do you need it?"
Habib patch-work is so stellar -- you could roll with Gabi Garcia herself (or if you are in the military, the biggest/toughest/meanest person in your unit), right after she has been cheated at a major tournament by the IBJJF (again) -- and it would hold up to her viciously clawing at your GI and trying to squeeze the life out of your body. And I don't lightly make such proclamations. - E
