Quality Tailors in Toronto?

[Analog]

Anyone have a go-to professional tailor that does quality work in Toronto? If so please post your tailor of choice and/or experiences for all the inter-web to see.

What I'm looking for :

• Full-time professional tailor (no dry cleaners etc.)
  
• Skilled/experienced with alterations to suits, jackets, coats, including complex surgical procedures
  
• Honest - won't tell you they can do anything/everything just to get your business
  
• If tailor is female she must be hot
  
• Preferably downtown area

TIA

the woman at the sketchly on dundas between mcaul and university is damn good. i know its a dry cleaner but i fully trust her with all of my dior stuff. (that takes alot of trust) oh... she really isnt hot either

my gf and i have used studio kim on king st just west of bathurst a few times. the did a good job on everything we have taken to them, but you need to explain things a few times as english is not their first language.

i go to this lady named nina rosen up in thornhill just east of john/bayview... used her for everything for years, but a) its in thornhill and shes definately not hot

I'm near both of those locations (queen/spadina area). What kind of work have you guys had done? Do they do clean work, the kind that goes unnoticed?

I can maybe waive the "she's gotta be hot" requirement if she's really really, really really good.

i had some jeans shorted and tapered and the back added to a vest

What exactly are you looking to have done? I've had a lot of work done by a woman (Nikki) at the Stitch-It located in the TD Centre concourse (Bay-King) and she's always done amazing work.

She's taken in blazers, slimmed jeans, taken in jeans in the waist/seat, etc. All excellent work.

Right now, I have some coats and a trench that need : arms taken in, length taken in, maybe slim the waist/torso a little bit. But long-term just I want to have one or two tailors that I can depend on because this is the kind of work I'll always need done.

I think I saw someone else recommend the Stitch-it location (maybe it was from StyleForum).

Does she work with denim as well?

I need to taper a pair of bootcut jeans.

got em to patch some levi's that were falling apart last summer, did a good job.

had the same jeans patched by a stitch it in the burbs and patches ripped right off.

i also back anywhere hughsd says is legit.

[marsaf]

for anybody that has had it done...how much was it to taper a pair of jeans?

How to find good alteration tailors guide (you heard it first here): just call a trustable local menswear store (say Harry Rosen), tell them you're a client but you need to have something you bought from another place altered and want the address of a good tailor, they'll direct you to the one they use when they're too busy to do everything in-house. Should be allright for your purpose.

i need my imperials hemmed, any other recommendations other than studio kim

chain-stitch would be nice, but not neccesary
