Has the economy gotten you down? Even the great deals at the stores are too much? How about making your “old” pieces “new” again?
I needed a new wool coat for the winter. I had badly abused my lining by tearing it with my rings and watches. As I shopped around for a great new winter coat, I got frustrated. What I could afford lacked character. And what I loved would cost me more than I could afford. So I grabbed my coat out of the give away pile and headed off to my favorite tailor (Frank’s Tailor & Alterations, 605 W. Roosevelt Rd, 312-421-3457 — tell Frank I sent you). But first, I stopped off at a fabric store for a colorful lining so it really does become custom made.
One week and about 50 bucks later, I had a great winter coat. Now this works for everything. Guys, think about the lining in your suit coats and women, the lining in your pants. You don’t have to trash them, just find a great tailor and you’re all new again.
Make sense?
