    D.C. area tailors?

    Any recommended tailors in the D.C. (Silver Spring, MD) area?

    I have a couple casual coats I am going to cut down to kilt jackets.

    much grass,
    Scotty

    I work in Silver Spring, but I have no ideas about tailors. I couldn't justify the expense of a hand-made kilt.
    There's a place in Alexandria that may be able to advise(large Scottish population there). It's a store called Scottish Merchant. I know they sell tartans and kilt accessories(sporrans, pins, etc.). Give 'em a call or stop by.. They're located on King Street.


    Edit:
    Just checked their website.. Looks like they do tailoring.

    I highly recommend Field English Custom Tailors in upper Georgetown. They're not cheap, but Mr. Field and son are ace tailors.

    That's good to know. I've been looking for a good tailor in the area myself.

    Thanks!

    If you ever have need of their services, tell 'em Stilts (another one of my monickers) sent you.
