Tailor in New York

[mhodson]

I've recently shed a bit of weight, which of course leaves me swimming in my suits. Fortunately my office is business casual in the summertime, so I've been able to put this problem to the side. But as the calendar turns to August I'm reminded that we're only a month away from Labor Day, when we go back to business formal dress. While I'd love to buy a new wardrobe to celebrate dropping the pounds that's unfortunately not an option. Can anyone recommend a good tailor in New York to take my suits in?

Also, is it possible to add on a ticket pocket to already made suits, and is this recommended?

Thanks for your help.

Apologies for writing "botched" and "MTM Oxxford" in the same sentence:I did not mean to be redundant.
