Part I: Finding Local Tailors

• Look Locally

Try searching your city's yellowpages or yelp. Searching "alterations," or "tailors," on these types of sites helps give you an idea of professional tailors in the area. This gives you the chance to read other customers reviews to get a better outlook and narrow your search.

• Advertisements

Tailors that have advertisements in local newspapers, magazines, or websites typically mean they are making a business from it. There is a reason they are able to advertise and others won't or can't. It is possible to find a great tailor that doesn't advertise, but for the sake of time it's easier to stick with the advertising.

• Ask Around

Don't be afraid to ask your friends and coworkers. If you're starting from square one there's no harm in asking. You'll often find that they give the most detailed reviews and can give you more advice on finding a special local tailor.

• Conclusion

Check online but be wary of the reviews. In my opinion,your best bet is to ask your friends or coworkers, they'll give a personalized review and can help if you need particular items tailored more than others. Not all advertisers are great but they're clearly doing something right.
