I need a Tailor
 

I can't seem to get the search app to work anymore. So I'm turning to this Forum for help. I need to have a the collar replaced on my favorite sportscoat. I have the material and would appreciate any help or recommendation. Thanks Len

The dry cleaners at Southern Trace Shopping Plaza has a sign in the window that says Alterations.

Thanks I went there today and was told the tailor rotates from cleaners to cleaners. So I found her at the cleaners in Spanish Plaines. She said she no longer does anything complicated. She is the one who did my last jacket 8yrs ago. Anyone else have a recommendation. Len

Have you checked "Next Door" for your area? There is a lady who is mentioned there from time to time. I will pm you with name and phone no. Since I can do hems, and other simple alterations, haven't had a chance to use her.

I’m not try to be snarky here but if you have worn out the collar on your favorite sports jacket, what’s that say about the rest of jacket or are you hanging it up like a trophy, please take this a little lightly as it’s coming from someone who never stops shopping for clothes lol

I have my Favorites and this is one of them. It's a cotton Sportcoat worn with jeans. I have 10 of them in different colors. I don't like the new coat with old jeans look. Len

If you don't mind traveling, and want expert tailoring, give Nila's in Eustis a try...she and her family are all 'come overs' and they really know the trade

wife has been EXTREMELY pleased....and her grandfather was a tailor

21 N. Eustis St, Eustis phone 352.483.3111

10 jackets wow
 

your my type of guy , although I like new which means sad to say that some of my best friends are Hector and Jorgae from Amani and Hugo Boss lol

Look up Susan Lehota in your Villages phone directory. She’s a retired home ec teacher in the Village of Bonita and takes care of all of our needs. I think you’ll be pleased with her work.

I’m just trying to figure out how you wear out a sport coat collar while living in Central Fl. I start sweating profusely just looking at a jacket:bigbow:

I agree, toss it!!!

Yola Buchannon lives in The Lakes of Lady Lake on Rt 25 just North of the postoffice. She is excellent. Been sewing all her life. 352-430-2649. Very quick and reasonably priced.

Formal wear store in the Lake Square Mall In Leesburg does alterations of things whether bought there or not. Thanks

Tailor - Yison 765-274-9559.
 

Yison has been my go to seamstress for 8 years. She does beautiful work. Lives in Buttonwood.

Judi Lamberti Village of Duval 423-457-1040 does excellent work.

If it’s so worn that the collar has to be replaced it’s time to kiss it goodbye. What you’re asking for is no easy feat and you probably gasp at the price quoted if you do locate someone.

Thank You
 

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I am going to call a Tailor today. To the people who say I should pitch it because it will cost too much to FIX. I know how much it cost I have done this before. When traveling I like to wear a comfortable coat on the plane, it comes in handy in St Augustine at Christmas, Leaf Peepin in the Carolinas etc. When it gets dirty I throw it in the wash. Just my personal style. Len

Patti Weir is a fantastic seamstress...352-2594437. She lives in Alhambra.

Try Phillip Tailors in Leesburg. It's located near the Leesburg Mall next to Publix. Just took a suit vest over to be made a little larger and they seem very knowledgeable. I would call before I go just to make sure she can do the job.
