Of all the tailors I have used in my life, Jack is the best. He even remembers you by first name! He is a great listener and can often give recommendations based on his vast experience. I had a zipper replaced on a jacket and a pair of pants hemmed, and I'm very happy with the results. This is because Jack does all the sewing and mending and alterations HIMSELF!!! He doesn't have people working in the back for him, like most places. The last pants I needed altered he was able to do in 24 hours! \r
My relative also had a great experience with him - after having a terribile experience with a place on Newbury Street in Boston and a small cleaner/alterer in Inman Sq in Cambridge, she went to Jack and has never looked back. He has done a number of pants for her as well as a very expensive designer coat. Always flawless. Visiting Jack is like visiting an old friend because he is friendly and looks you in the eye, and he is right in Porter Square so it isn't a hike to get to him if you are carless.
Pros: Does the work himself, Close to Porter T stop, like visiting an old friend!
