It's been a while since I had a suit altered. Any recommendations for a tailor in Dallas, Rockwall, or Greenville?

I wouldn't take my suits anywhere other than Ken's Man's Shop at Royal/Preston.

I needed a suit altered quickly after buying it online. There is a tuxedo shop down the street that I’ve never been in and has been there forever. The guy couldn’t have been more helpful and I got it back in 4-5 days. Fits perfectly. Might try a little mom and pop shop like that if you know of one around you.

I have had suits altered at Men's Warehouse. This is just MY opinion, but I would try to go somewhere else if possible. I've had suits done at Upscale Men's clothing stores and there is No Comparison to the quality I received. Men's Warehouse has people who hem and sew, higher quality Men's stores have a Tailor who really knows how the Suit is suppose to Look and Feel and Lay. Once again, this is just MY opinion. Good luck with your choice and suit.

I wouldn't take my suits anywhere other than Ken's Man's Shop at Royal/Preston. Kens is good. My old boss (flashy dressing type of guy) suggested them to me. I went from 250lbs to 210lbs and shockingly the suit did not fit properly anymore. They got it fixed up quickly (3 days if I recall?) and price seemed reasonable. Another place I had checked first told me it would take 3-4 weeks! Its like they were shipping the suits overseas to be altered or some non sense.

Nordstroms for a man like you sir.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.
