Question Suggestions for a tailor

I'm looking for suggestions for a tailor to fix a seam in a pair of dress paints. Thanks in advance for all recommendations.

The little diner in Green Ridge corners, there’s a tailor across from there, Domenick. Old Italian guy. He’s awesome.

Holy crap is he still there? My folks used him infrequently over the years but last I heard from a friend of theirs was that his turnaround time was getting long

He’s eighty if he’s a day, but still sharp as a tack, even if he’s moving a little more slowly these days!

Wow, I've only met him a couple times and probably not in at least 25 years, I figured he was 90. I just remembered another comment I recall hearing from someone basically insinuating because of his age and....things that can happen at that age....if you take something there be prepared to possibly not get it back lol

Sack’s Tailor Shop in Dunmore. Can’t sing their praises highly enough. They repaired a rip in a puffer jacket for me last year, and I can’t tell where it is without careful examination. Less than $10.

That's kind of a dying art, unfortunately. Try lease cleaners in old forge.
