NEEDED: An Independent seamstress or a tailor that does custom work. Ok, so I'm a big guy. Several years ago I found a jacket that I loved. Wore it often in cold weather and it actually looked very good on me. But, alas, it wasn't high quality material so it has since worn out. I still have it though because I've been unable to find a replacement that looks anything like it.
That said, I'm tired of looking. The only things that have come close cost about $800. No thanks. So, does anyone know anyone, either a tailor who can do custom work from scratch or even a seamstress (is that even the right word anymore?) that does their own work.
I want to use my old jacket as a design template from where to begin but I want my new one to have certain design changes. So I'm looking for someone who can make a jacket from scratch. Do we have any good local/semi-local suggestions? (I'll go as far as Austin if I need to.)
Thanks.
