There was a really good clothing sale at Barney's warehouse. I bought a sport jacket that normally costs
$2500 for $280, and a suit that was $3400 for about $300. I felt proud of myself, since there werent that many really high quality jackets and suits, I picked through 100's and found these. The sizing was a little off, so I need to get them altered. I decide to go to a tailor I used to frequent, who knows how to make suits from scratch. I figured, even though his prices are way high, he would do a good job and it would be worth it, since i saved so much already. So, I hadn't been to this tailor for some years, the minute i walked him , he greeted me by name. Wow, I mustve been a really good customer. So I try on the clothes , he marks them, and pins them. I come back in a week to pick it up. I try on the suit. the chest is too big, the back is saggy, the shoulder is big. I try on the sports jacket, the shoulders are too big.
Meanwhile he wants $100s of dollars for the work he has done. I say " this suit and jacket do not fit right"
He says, " yes the chest , shoulder and back are not a perfect fit". So I say, " well you are a great tailor, these should fit much better". He says " you want it to fit perfect? Now that's a big job! that costs a lot"
I'm like, WTF. You mean I come here an pay you to fix my clothes so they don't fit right, because if I want them to fit right, THAT"S A BIG JOB,,,,,, I"m still shaking my head.
