Walid did a great job tailoring a custom Brooks Brothers jacket (retail $800+) that I found at the factory story ($40).  For $40, he took in the Portly 44 and turned it into a 42 Regular. \n\nHe was quick to point out the working button holes and equally quick to tell me NOT to tailor another jacket.  He could have taken my money but he was honest and said the jacket didn't need tailoring.\n\nHe helped me understand his work and also took the time to explain how he completed the tapering, so that I would know which sizes and fits would best be altered.  This saved me a lot of money, as the factory store does not accept returns.\n\nI currently live in DC and I still get my tailoring done here while I'm in town.\n\nIn contrast, I paid a bit less at an Asian tailor that shall remain nameless down Park Road, but found that my pants still did not fit after tailoring.
