Tailor Recommendations for Basic Items? Does anyone have any good tailor recommendations for the Cambridge/Somerville/Boston area? I'm looking to have a few wardrobe basics fitted. Thanks!

where to buy a suit? I've found to my dismay that the pandemic has done a small number on my waistline - but enough of one that the suit I was planning to wear to my wedding in just under 3 weeks won't fit me. Any suggestions for where I should shop in the area? No real budget but staying under $1000 would be nice. With the timeline, I don't think I have time for made to measure, so I'm looking at off the rack and tailoring.

You could try [Le Couturier](https://www.lecouturierma.com/) near Porter. Dick, the owner, is a solid tailor and recently merged his tailoring business with keezers, which used to be a budget suit store in Central sq.
Looking for specific tailor When there was a Levi's flagship store on Newbury Street, they would discount pants if you needed them tailored and make a recommend to a specific tailor who would hem the jeans for the same cost of the discount.
Does anyone know which tailor that was? I'm not looking for general tailor recommendations (unless someone feels really strongly about a tailor who does great work for raw/no stretch denim).
Thanks!

I get my raw denim hemmed by Dick at Le Couturier, he does a great job. http://lecouturierma.com/ note they moved from Central to Porter Sq recently.
Anyplace I can get sleeves attached to my dungaree vest? Got sent home from the office today due to wearing my favorite dungaree vest to work... I didn't realize people were so strict here about dress codes. Does anybody know of a tailor accessible by T that will add sleeves to a dungaree vest so I don't have to drop my fave item from the wardrobe roto?
UPDATE: Thank you all for the suggestions, I checked around the city but nobody was prepared to carry out this job in a way that would live up to my high expectations of quality. I did find a pretty neat pinterest about it with several pictures in the slideshow so I think it's time to take matters in to my own hands.
