I was deeply dissatisfied with the tailoring done on a trenchcoat that I brought here to have the sleeves shortened. Two inches from the bottom of each sleeve was a mini belt encircled by three loops, which would have to be repositioned as well. I was told it would cost $55 and take two weeks, which seemed to be expensive and slow, but I figured it would result in a perfect product. Two weeks later, I went to pick up the coat and was told that it would not be ready for another day -- meaning, they had not even started on my coat. All of the above I could tolerate, but what I found unacceptable was the finished product that I received: the belts that encircled the bottom of the sleeves had not been repositioned at the same height (there was a 1/2-inch difference), some of the loops were sewn on crookedly, and the loops were now all of different lengths. One could plainly see these errors just by looking at the coat; it was obvious that the work was done haphazardly. It was also clear that Apollo had not bothered to look at the finished product before handing it over -- or if he had, perhaps he figured I wouldn't care. But, having paid $55 and waited more than two weeks, I did care. When you complain, Apollo will say that he will fix it (after dismissing your complaints). What he doesn't understand is that when customers pay his high prices, they do not expect to have to point out to the tailor that details on sleeves should match with each other and that sloppy products should not be handed over on the theory that they will do it right only after the customer complains.
Pros: None
Cons: Poor work product; long wait

Campos & Campos do very good work, but their prices for basic alterations are absurd. To alter the waist and length of three regular pairs of pants, they charged $160!!!! Maybe I will use them for suits, but they are not the place for simple jobs.
Pros: Good work
Cons: Overpriced. Slow
