Does anyone have a tailor they can recommend in the Chicago area? I'm in the midst of a wardrobe upgrade (which brought me to Dappered to begin with) and I have a need for some snipping and sewing.
First and foremost, I have a tux I'd like to get a little more fitted for an event next month, so I'm looking for someone who is skilled in tailoring suits, not just shirts (I do have a bunch of shirts I'd like to get tailored, so I'd welcome a recommendation here too, but I'm willing to go two places if there's a better value proposition on shirt tailoring).
I have done research on Styleforum, but every other comment is "Chris Despos is the only tailor who knows anything" followed by "Despos isn't doing alterations anymore." I saw mixed reviews on Paul Chang and generally positive things about The Tailor Shop and the Golden Needle. I did a perusal of Yelp (always taken with a grain of salt) and Gus' Tailor Shop on Ashland seemed to sound legit.
Anyway, I was wondering if the friendly and knowledgeable folks here had some experiences or recommendations they would be willing to share.
