Hello all,
This is my initial posting, and I hope that it's in the correct category.
Recently, I purchased a three-piece, peak lapel Tom Ford suit, and had it altered by a tailor in the Philadelphia area. The alterations were a success, and this suit fits better than any I've ever had, but when I picked it up yesterday, the surgeon's cuffs that I'd requested, as the sleeves were unfinished, were not present. I was not charged for them, thankfully, and the cashier told me that the tailor must have forgotten. He was not present at the time that I picked up the garment, and I needed it for a function that evening.
Not to make a mountain out of a molehill (no, really), but I distinctly remember requesting them, and this would have been the first suit I've owned that had them.
My question: would a tailor be able to make the non-functional cuffs into surgeon's cuffs by removing the buttons and then using whatever device it is that punches holes in the cuffs, or am I stuck with it as is?
The area in which I live is not one in which this will matter at all, but I like the look, and had hoped to wear this suit while visiting some of larger cities. I don't want to look like some rube who's wearing a nice suit without the surgeon's cuffs being present. Granted, not many people would notice, but most of you would, and it would probably cause a certain amount of disdain. I also cannot imagine that he wouldn't have added them, since I requested them.
Thanks!
