i bought a suit off the rack for the first time ever yesterday at JC Penny's.

where do i take it to get tailored?  i know most dry cleaning places offer that, has anyone ever done that?

[hbionic]

No, but I did the same a while ago...and was thinking the same...let me know if they do a decent job...I figure $50-$70 for tailoring? The pants I that came with the suit look like zuit-suit pants...farg...feels rediculous.

[Seabiscuit36]

Dry Cleaning places do a decent job, and for a JCpenny suit its fine.  It does help to find a legit tailor, since getting your suit worked on by an old italian man is infinitely better than a drycleaner getting yelled at. 

[Sgt PSN]

I'd take it to a tailor.

Men's Warehouse will tailor for you even if you bought the suit out of the store.

[SunMo]

they will?  i checked their website for something about that and couldn't find anything.  that would be my first preference

[Munson]

If you get it done there, you're gonna like the way you look...I guarantee it.

Yeah.  I just bought 2 suits from them last week since I figured camoflauge would not be a good look for job interviews.  I checked their store first, found some stuff I liked but wanted to shop around first.  I asked them if they'd still do the tailoring if I bought elsewhere and they said yes, but that priority will be given to in-store purchases.  Normal turn around time on in-store purchases was 3-5 days, out of store would probably be 7-10 days.  So if you need the suit sooner than that, then you probably need to go to a regular tailor. 

And just incase anyone cares, I looked at the dept store suits but ended up going back to MW anyway.  Better selection and buy 1, get 1 free on suits over $200.  2 suits, 2, shirts, 2 ties, 2pr shoes and tailoring for $700.  And they offer lifetime adjustments on any tailoring they do for free along with free button and zipper repair.  So in 2 years, if I need my jacket let back out, I can take it to any MW and they'll do it at no cost.

i did end up calling them and they told me the same thing you just said.  my wedding isn't until 7/20 and we aren't leaving until 7/18 so I think I have enough time.

[Sgt PSN]

Just out of curiosity, why buy a suit for your wedding instead of renting a tux?   

[SunMo]

because i don't have a suit and wanted one anyway.

[SunMo]

that and it's a real casual wedding, a few people at niagra falls, nothing real formal so i didn't feel a tux was necessary
