Tailoring

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

I need to get a few things tailored. What is a "decent price for the following":

1. Sew buttons on a blue blazer (buttons are getting loose)
2. Hem jeans (too long)
3. Adding buttons to a few pairs of shorts on the back pocket (maybe velcrow? I just don't want my wallet to fall out)

not sure.

when I pay for that stuff it always seems like too much.


don't get the velcro on your shorts....when you wash them lint will collect in the velcro and it will get gross real quick.

yes. I think it'd be weird...can they put buttons on back pockets that weren't designed for them? I'll ask them.

Last time I paid 15 bucks for my jeans to get hemmed. dunno if that's about a standard price.

I also have some stitching that needs to be done on the inside of my blazer, the breast pocket tore a little bit.

jacket was 14 bucks to fix. this was primarily to repair a rip on the inside lining.
jeans were 12.
