I would not use Studio Kim for anything more involved than hemming a pair of pants. I just didn't find the alterations I had done to have worked out very well (bringing in the waist on a pair of pants, slimming some shirts.) King St W is also not as quickly accessible as others. I would use Magic Tailor, or another recommendation.

Wondering about this Boris perforated ninja hoodie, as worn by Faust in WAYWT:
Is the fabric itself decently thick or is it a thinner jersey-like cotton? Really intrigued by this thing and have an opportunity to get it at a good price, but I'd need it to be substantial enough to layer under a jacket with a longsleeve in New York / German winter.Last edited by Arkady; 01-13-2016, 09:49 AM.

I have a Harnden SS16 classic that just came in in 60% linen 40% wool.
Sleeves and length are spot on but it's quite tight in the shoulders and upper back (when I stretch my arms out) and I'm worried about it ripping.
If anybody has any experience with this fabric combo could tell me if it might give a little bit with wear I would be most appreciative? I'm worried sizing up one will be too big everywhere else.
Thanks so much.

That sounds quite typical with PH if you have wide shoulders at all, I size up for that exact reason and the jackets are still fitted in the back and shoulders while usually roomy elsewhere. You could size up and have it tailored at the torso, if you want to go that route.
I'm not familiar with that exact fabric, but I've seen a couple of blazers rip at the backseam, including one of mine, so be careful."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

I also just took a pair of pants in to be hemmed and slimmed through the leg, and my tailor quoted me $35. Does it usually cost that much to get this done?
She said it was because they would have to be taken in up to the crotch, which makes sense because I'm trying to turn a pair of loose wool trousers into something slim and fitted, but I didn't expect it to cost that much.

Does anyone know if Sydney's does alterations on items not bought there? I figured since he used to sell TVA, ma+ and the like, he might know what he's doing more than others.
A related small question: are like half the members of this forum based in Toronto/GTA?

You must not be in NYC because this seems really cheap to me. Most places here charge that much or more for a simple hem.
