Diamond Tailors & Dry Cleaners Reviews

This is some text inside of a div block.

After more than a dozen jackets, a dozen coats and half a dozen shirts, this has been an incredible alteration service for my wardrobe. I have an athletic body with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, off the rack nearly never fits me well so I need to alter almost everything I buy. I've had my suit jackets taken in from the side seams and the back seam, sleeves slimmed and shortened (from the shoulder seam nonetheless) and had upper back seam crease removal (after slimming down a coat very much, there is a crease forming on the top which requires the entire shoulder to be taken apart to remove). I've had this done on jackets with both full lining and half lining, the latter being more difficult because of the lack of slack given by the extra seam delineating the half lining. After a jacket couldn't be slimmed further, I've even had its pair of buttons moved slightly and seamlessly more inward to create a more snug fit on the waist. For my overcoats I've had slimming done on wool, with and without lining. I've had my sleeves slimmed on a few as well. My shirts received slimming on the side seams and darts made on the back to further create a more tapered look. All in all, incredible craftsmanship, given that I've had to take in quite a bit of material from all of these. My measurements are a 39 inch chest and a 30 inch waist, most clothing made for my chest assumes I have a 36-38 inch chest, meaning there is nearly always 6-8 extra inches of material on my waist. Proper fitting of clothes means that you should have 4 inches of extra material on your waist on shirts and about 6 inches on jackets and coats. When a coat made for a 39 inch chest has 42 inches of material on its chest but 38 inches of material on its waist and you have a waist like mine, you're going to end up looking baggy. Alterations are a must in that case and I've found Diamond's service to be reliable and well crafted.
