Seeing as there is mention of dry cleaners in this thread I thought i'd ask in here… Are they pretty much all the same? Having a coat dry-cleaned and I don't want those detergemt marks on the black buttons that you usually get, would a good one cut them off and restitch them after?

i'd recommend jeeves for anything valuable when dry cleaning.

thought id put in here about the guy dale who works in covent garden who does alterations that everyone on here recommended.
took two pairs of dior to him to be tappered, he done them to a good standard but he charged £30, which i thought was a little expensive. but im happy so i cant complain. better than having a £380's worth of jeans ruined, which im sure would have happened if i took them anywhere local

Alterations is a must, most of my clothes have some type of alteration done to them. (no weight gainer/diet freak)

most London alterations tailors are in Soho, many on Kingley street just behind Oxford Street.

How easy/cheap is it to get a large tshirt altered to a medium?

Just keep on the pot noodle diet and you'll soon fit the large

recently purchased a pair of 19cm Clawmarks, but since I'm a short ass, I needed to get then shortened somewhat, my inside leg is 31.5" so took them to Dale in Covent Garden for him to shorten, I asked him if could put the original hem back on, which he did, however when I tried them on, I wasn't impressed with the end result. They didn't look right, they look like a pair of butchered 19cm Clawmarks.
My question is this how do you keep the original shape of a jean when your getting them shortened, in particular reference to to Dior's and APC's? Should I be asking the tailor to taper them to the original shape/measurements??
Any help appreciated.

Care to share contact details for the alterations guy in Kingly Street? I need replacement front pockets on my Samurai's now they have disintergrated. Cheers.
