    It varies. You can find some very affordable tailors that do really good work. It depends a lot on what you want done. Take in a shirt? Maybe $30. Tons of alterations on a suit jacket? Could be $150+. It really depends.

    I’ve found that a good tailor is worth every penny, though. I have many 20 year old clothing items that still look good and aren’t overly worn because they fit well.

      Alright, so probably not for me, as the only upper body wear I like is plain red t-shirts, which come pretty cheap anyways.

        Yeah, I don’t think t-shirts are necessarily bigtime tailoring candidates, but pretty much all pants are!

        I currently have a brand of OTR pants that fit me nicely, so I don’t have every single pair of pants I buy tailored. But the difference is noticeable when I do have a pair done. I like Levis 514 jeans, but they’re cut for wider hips than I posess. A little take-in and maybe a different hem length drastically changes the way I look in jeans. It adds a tidiness that makes them more versatile.
