Hey guys, I'm going to the tailor for the first time to get my first suit altered and was wondering what I should bring (other than my suit of course). I couldn't really find any info anywhere on the internet and was too embarrassed to ask the tailor when I called to make the appointment. I wasn't sure whether or not to bring the shoes that I'll be wearing with it, so I waited for my AE's to come in the mail before going. I was planning on just bringing my suit, AE's, and my best fitting shirt..

Hi Gc2892, yes that should be it... a shirt and a pair of shoes with a similar heel/height to those you normally wear. Should you need a tie to get the full picture, the tailor should have one for you. If you wear braces, you may also consider bringing those in.

Also bring the items you will be putting in the pockets, wallet, cell phone, keys, etc.

I would just like to add, bring someway to pay for the alterations. ic12337:

Yes, but you will pay next time when come and try the suit on to see if everything was done to agreed tailoring. How much? Normally $20 for the sleeves and $10 for the pants plus tax, so I round-up to $40. Good luck!

That was the tip, right? :devil:

Actually it's "What to take to tailor?"

Whether you use bring or take depends on your point of reference for the action. You ask people to bring things to the place you are, and you take things to the place you are going.

That's my tip! :icon_smile:

I think that it should read "What to take to the tailor?" since tailor is being used as a noun rather than a verb :teacha:

Bring a good tie as well.

Clean underwear is good

What to take to the tailor is absolutely the correct grammar, but the OP title was "what to take to tailor".
