Ask NAFOOM: Oxford-area tailor |

I think it's been discussed before, but I couldn't find it so I'll bring it up again:
I need to get a suit jacket altered. Is there anywhere in Oxford that will do it for a decent price?

You could also ask Neilson's who they use, if they don't do it in-house. | #2 | ||

I'm sure they would be top notch. And if they do it in-house, that person probably does some work on the side.

Peggy's Alterations on the right before you get to Beacon in that shopping center is pretty cheap and quick. I actually dropped off some jeans there today
for reconstructive pocket surgery and will get them back 1 week. Square Alterations takes forever. Not sure about the cleaners.

........... take it to either Nielson's or Hinton and Hinton. Anywhere that sells nice suits would be good.
A good tailor can be hard to find these days. I know plenty here in Memphis but none by name in Oxford. I'm sure the two stores I mentioned above have a decent tailor.....I would hope so anyway considering the price of their merchandise. Nothing looks worse than a poor fitting suit so don't go to cheap route. |

What Kind of Suit Is It? | #8 | ||

One of the better haberdasheries in Oxford would be your safest bet, with Hinton & Hinton probably in the lead.
If the dry cleaners in Oxford alter clothes as poorly as they launder them, I would avoid them at all costs. If you bought it at New York Suit Exchange or S&K, I'd just throw the suit in the trash. |

......... if you're looking to buy something downtown Lansky Bros. or Shelton Clothier will have a good tailor on staff. But don't take something you
bought at NY Suit Exchange there, if you know what I mean.
If you have already purchased something and need to have it tailored: Vernell Williams, Joseph Bank at Poplar-Kirby, is probably the best one I know of. He is fast and does great work....especially cuffs and jacket work if you have an unusual frame. By fast I mean 1-2 weeks....pretty good for a busy tailor shop. Richard Kapatia has been around a while....his shop is called Alicia's Alterations. They are out in Germantown somewhere. Richard's brother PK is located on Poplar Ave. between Perkins and Colonial. Great work, good turn-around time, but slightly more expensive. He will rush things for you but you pay for it. I've never had a bad experience with any of these guys. Hope this helps. |

The street right before the morgan keegan tower if you are going south on Front. Maybe it's Washington. But there's a little alterations place there
and she does a good job.
I don't know if I'd have her completely redesign a suit, but she does good work on most alterations.

across from Wal-Mart does in house tailoring. They carry mostly big and tall clothes and are very reasonably priced on alterations and custom ordered/fitted
suits.
