He can't go to work naked...

Can anyone recommend a tailor in Pittsburgh, preferably not downtown?

My SO has a suit in need of some tailoring (he bought it at a discount place without an on-site tailor). We're living in Bloomfield and he works in Oakland, so the closer to home or work the better. We do have a car, but not a lot of free time, so a short drive would be fine. Thanks!

Sorry, should have mentioned--I saw that thread, but it seems to focus on downtown-located tailors and I'm hoping to find someone closer to us. They do mention a guy at the William Penn, which might be good for us, location-wise. Any others?

D'oh! I got the William Penn confused with the Oakland Holiday Inn... because I'm classy like that. Nevermind... still in need of a neighborhood tailor.

Jesse is in Bellevue, which is maybe 10-15 minutes west of downtown, but he's a good tailor and his prices are comparable to other tailors in the north hills...

If you don't mind driving to Squirrel Hill, Ianni's on Forward Avenue (across from the bowling alley) is the place my family's always used--they have hemmed many of my pants over the years (I'm short).

Irene's Tailoring in Sq Hill. I've used her several times and have had no problems.
