The tailor is the owner. He is a very friendly guy who is proud of his work, which means quality work. He's not after getting rich - He has the lowest price I can find in the area. On top of that...he's honest. If he feels the work isn't worth the money you would have to pay (i.e. I bought a suit at a discount store. In order to alter it to fit me, it would cost almost as much as I paid), he will tell you to see if you can exchange it for a different size. Of course, if you still want him to do the work, he'll gladly do it. I have been going to him for years now. I have been pleasantly happy with him each & every time!
