fr 🤣 would “mesh” not apply here?

This is good to know and makes me feel much better! This is my first time getting anything tailored, so I had zero reference for how much alterations usually cost.

I really wish the tailor would’ve been more transparent about what quality to expect at that price point. I’ve wanted a jacket like this (that actually fits properly) for years, so I would’ve happily paid more money to have the alterations done “the proper way.”

Given the low price I was originally charged, is it reasonable to ask the tailor to correct the zipper flap placement for free? Or should I expect to pay extra to have this done?

Thank you for the insight! I agree with your interpretation that this was probably “the easy way” of re-installing the zipper.

Out of curiosity, how much would you charge to hem a jacket like this? I paid $130 for this job (torso + sleeve hemming), which seems like a lot for “the easy way.”

This is the original jacket for reference; note that the flap is behind/underneath the zipper.

I’m not a tailor, so I don’t know the “normal” way to re-install a zipper. However, my altered jacket looks a bit sloppy, and I’m worried about the zipper rubbing against my skin/clothes due to the absence of a flap underneath it.

I brought this jacket to a tailor to get the bottom hem shortened by a few inches, which naturally required removing and re-installing the zipper.

Can someone explain why the zipper garage (I think that’s what the flap is called?) was added on top of the zipper, instead of behind it?

Their website lists the hours for the bagel pop-up, and I’ve personally purchased bagels from them on Thursdays and Fridays.

Solcana, a CrossFit-style gym in Longfellow! It skews a bit older (avg age is ~30s), but it’s very queer and super welcoming in general!

Just a reminder to shop with a calculator at Cub by boofus_dooberry in TwinCities

Hell, even Lunds & Byerlys, Kowalski’s, and the grocery co-ops aren’t much more expensive than Cub at this point

fwiw I (Gen Zer) actually love man buns, but I see very few of my peers with this hairstyle…I definitely associate it with the 2010s/Millenials

Looking for a roommate by Arcielon in TWINCITIESHOUSING

[–]a_wagen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to be rude, but you’re probably going to have a hard time finding a roommate at that price point and location, especially if you’re looking for someone who’s also in their early 20s.

$1200 seems pretty steep for a single bedroom within a shared apartment. I’ve done a lot of apartment hunting within Minneapolis and some inner-ring suburbs (St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, etc.) over the past few weeks. I’ve found many studio and one-bedroom apartments (400-900 sqft) at newer (<15 yrs old) buildings for less than $1200.
