I was recommended to John by a friend who used to work at Ralph Lauren, Manhasset. Although RL does provide great tailoring services, sometimes it's more ost effective to go elsewhere. I have been going to John on a regular basis for about two years now and have had almost every type of alteration done with fantastic results. Although, I do have a basic knowledge of tailoring myself and know exactly what to ask for, John's expertise sometimes brings my eye to a detail I hadn't considered.
