"Alterations Express is first-rate...for hemming pants.\n\nThose of you that know me have likely heard me say that part of being a grown up is having a tailor - a real one. In my case, a tailor must be between 75 and 190 years old, male, and have a memorable accent. Yours could whatever, but to be taken seriously by yours truly, ensure that you have one.\n\nAnyways...\n\nAlthough I trust the kind folks at Alterations Express to hem pants while I wait (my wife insists that there is an awkward pants-optional waiting room where nobody looks anybody in the eyes), they do not - repeat, DO NOT - replace a tailor. \n\nI have had nothing but great experiences with them going above and beyond to ensure I was a happy client and it keeps me coming back with loads of pants long enough to make other pants when they're done with them!\n\nWhat did we learn here: This place shortens pants, and you should have a tailor.\n\nThat is all."^^ . .
