Clothing Alterations?

[http://users.livejournal.com/urban_faerie_/]

 Does anybody out there know of a place that will hem your pants for you at a reasonable price? I have a few pairs of nice trousers for work that I can't wear out in this weather because they are too long and they will get destroyed walking in the snow. They are too long in general and just need to be taken up an inch or two, but I have no idea where to take them to get a nice job done.

Who do you trust in this area to do simple clothing alterations?

Thanks!

We use Jack's in Porter Sq., and we've been nothing but happy with him.

That said, a simple hem job should be fine at any competent place, most dry cleaners do hemming fairly cheaply. I know Jack tells people to go to the Porter Sq. Dry Cleaners with simple stuff when he's got a lot of work lined up.

I second Jack. I use him for everything, though it is true that most dry cleaners can hem pants more cheaply.

But otherwise, Jack is the best.

Hemming you can get just about anywhere, but you can't go wrong with Jack's in Porter Square. Jack is a great guy, charges reasonable prices, and does excellent work.
