Anybody know of a good tailor in Fairfax/Prince William county areas?
depends on what you are having tailored...
There is a great old korean lady who has a shop in fairfax city, but she doesn't do leathers if that's what you're up for. great work on knit repairs and such.
I'm going to be buying a new suit here in the near future and I wanted to have it tailored, not just altered. I haven't gotten the suit yet, so I don't know exactly what I'll need done.

here is the one i referred to
Ann's Custom Tailor
10610 Main Street
Fairfax, VA (703) 385-6560
it's at Railroad Ave and Main St. It's just one very VERY nice Korean lady running the shop. She is very good at eyeballing cuts and hems. I took in some old slacks that I couldn't get my fat ass into and she let them out just enough and they fit like new and I can't tell where the mods are or where the old seam was.
She can tell you how good a suit is as well, just ask her to check it out. Prices are reasonable, I think it was $18 to let the pants out and redo the hems to plain from cuffed. Not bad for a $200 pair of pants that can be worn for a lot longer now.

I am assuming you mean like a regular suit, not a leather riding suit or something different...
if so, the tailors at Jos A Banks were REALLY good and VERY professional, and it wasn't that hateful as far as pricing....I think it was like $65 for them to tailor 2 suits...and they had to make alterations in the jacket and pants in both
