Having snapped up a bargain Reiss suit the other day next I had to find an affordable yet quality tailor to take up the trousers.

Provided you don’t mind dropping your trousers in a workshop amongst 4 or 5 male and female tailors, then Rafaele Condilio in Dean Street is your man.

My trousers were expertly taken up and for a surprisingly low price. As I left Rafaele pointed out that they do made-to-measure and, given the quality and the price, I will take him up on that sometime soon.

His workshop can be found above Wen Tai Sun Art & Crafts (well worth a visit for Chinese cultural bits and bobs); the door is round the corner in that road that leads down to the Soho Hotel.
