When I left Harlem one Saturday afternoon to get my new suit tailored in Carroll Gardens at One Stop I was really hoping I wasn't wasting my time. I found out when I went back to get the suit that it was worth the trip.
Rule #1 of men's suits, never let the department store tailors cut up your new suit. For the most part, with some outstanding exceptions, these are the bottom rung of tailors who are just working for speed, not detail-oriented craftsmanship. At One Stop, however, you can talk over the suit with the tailor, go through how you want it cut and get advice about shopping for your body type. The mark of a well tailored suit is that it needs no adjustment. It looks like it was made for you and that's what you'll get from One Stop.
