Specialty tailors for professional wear

Post by cbarnard »

Hi! I am new to the message board, but a very experienced mom who raised a very gifted son,
now 23 at grad school at AFIT in Dayton, Ohio. He recently was home for the holidays and he is
in search of a quality tailor who can help him with dress shirts/jackets etc. His right arm was
affected at birth and it is much smaller, shorter and contracted. Any thoughts or ideas on
a resource to help him??

Thanks
Cindy

Hi ,
I usually just take my clothes to a drycleaners and they alter the sleeves. I try the jackets on while I am there and the measure to fit. I've never had a problem with doing this.
Welcome to the board. Please take some time to look around. There is a lot of support here.
Take care
