Title: Best Alterations shop in Riverside/Avondale
Post by: DetroitInJAX on October 28, 2009, 03:13:15 PM
Hey all,

I need a bunch of new uniform pants hemmed for my job and used to take them out to the beach to have them done but would rather remain local if possible... Where do you all go to have your alterations done?

Basel is a true gentle-man and has been keeping Jacksonville's top business people in fine trim for many years.

If your close to Roosevelt check out Ortega Alterations, the lady there has saved my wife on many occasions, and does great hems.
