Journey Of The Tailor : Stanton Tailor Shop
23 Comments Published by admin May 3rd, 2009 in General StyleJKISSI : As some of you may know we were on the journey for the best tailor we could find. We discussed previously on how a good tailor on your side was a necessity to anyone especially if you find yourself divulged in “fashion”. If you guys remember Trav posted the first edition of this when tailoring his A.P.C Petite Standards to his liking. I found myself needing a tailor after I purchased a vintage Levis jean jacket . The color of the jacket was perfect, but some of you may know I have others so I decided to turn this one into a vest. The decision of chopping off the sleeves only brought to mind of going to a good tailor. Staton Tailor Shop recommended once by Andrew Chen, he even blogged about it on 3sixteen’s blog.

The tailor Pablo answered all my questions even though I didn’t have the item at hand. The guy had a humorous personality welcoming his customers to the store, which is important to me. I dislike with a passion bad service where tailors are cold to their customers who are ultimately keeping you in business. The relationship between one and their tailor is suppose to be one of understanding, reliance,friendship and that’s what I felt here. A line outside the shop awaits , I was pretty surprised at the amount of people who go to Pablo for alterations. The turn around time for my jacket was amazing as he encouraged me to stand there and witness him do the whole process. Impressed by my visit this will be my next destination to tailor a suit, interested to see how that unfolds.

WOW! only one with that vest thats for sure…it isn’t cheaply done either
Waddup Josh! Yeah Pablo is the best at what he does. I’ve tried several other tailors around the area and none of them can compare. Always does a great job on my buttondown shirts whenever I need to get them tapered on the body sleeves. He tells you exactly what can and can’t be done and isn’t out to g you. You could just tell he really loves his work and thats what makes me feel rest assured whenever I leave my precious clothes with him.
love that place…pull yo pants up!
Reggie, nah man hate to put myself out there , but jacket was like $10 shipped on ebay and Pablo cut off the sleeves for like $10.00 so in total $20.00 for it. PRetty inexpensive if i didnt have to cut off sleeves.
Willy , whats up man , I completly agree with you man its just kind of far from where I live thats the only minus i could think of , and thats if I completly had to come up with a negative about the place. The guy is pretty good man, he really love what he does man. Real funny too man lol.
Coco, me too ! , its up on my waist trust me
that particular picture idk dropped a couple lol
Wow this is very good man , the fit is flawless never thought a tailor couldl do so much something I need to invest in for sure.
nah when I meant cheap i meant you didn’t get the scissors and just cut ‘em off; it looks well done!
Reggie , ohh I’m not going to lie I thought about it though klol , then I wasl ike hmm let me just do it the real way pay for what you get.
Amzin, thanks man appreciate it..
He did a real good job on that It looks like it was originally made to be a vest…really good look
Good stuff here on this post, vest looks great just like Bryan said like you bought it that way. I love this site by the way fellas keep the news coming! btw you dont find a lot of young African Americans especially from the Bronx doing what you guys are. Kepp it up!!
Just saw this site on your hypebeast post man great information your providing on this blog. One question though do you recommend me to take my suit which is very baggy to a tailor possibly making it slim fit??
good shit josh
i’m wondering if he can taper my beat-up levis from the knee down, in a last attempt to make them wearable again.
Marcus Brown, thanks man we are trying to keep thisd doing.
Collins , thanks man probably man depends on how baggy the jeans are pretty sure they could take them in.
Ohsnap , yeah man that can definitetly happen you should stop by and ask him questions he will answer them and tell you what he can do and cannot.
nice..

Good post here .. the color combo of the fit you wore is flawless.. alot of people would not wear red jeans to begin but you pull it off amazingly ..
Good shit my nig. These niggas on the comeup.
Wussup that levi cutoff is dope and this was deff a good post But also i seen that brooklyn circus had a book to look at their stuff where can i get one from?
Rez , thanks man appreciate red jeans is hard to pull off especially the bright red ones mine are more toned down giving a sense of tonal blends you could mix it with.
Meji, good looks my brother we’re trying .. spread the word
Kev, good looks man , we attended the brooklyn circus release book party also we will post that up in a little bit. Yeah you could get the book from the store for $80.00 it is going for. I must say its pretty impressive from the print to the pictures and style. I was totally amazed. You should give them a call if your outside of New York State they can most likely ship it to you.
I like the levis vest thinking about doing the same now that I see how dope it is.
finding a good tailor is seriously a secret weapon. i had an amazing one when i lived in miami, really sweet nice lady. but i had to go through trial and error when i got up to palm beach, one even completely ruining something.
i know what you mean about the “cold tailor”. i mean, dont you think if someone new walks into their establishment they would give them a greeting! it’s a peeve of mine too. pablo sounds awesome!
Pretapoter,
Yeah it is im glad we see eye to eye on that because people really are unaware if how good a tailor is on your side. Not just a tailor but a “good” one will work wonders for you lol.
