Can anyone out there recommend a good place to take some trousers (or pants in American English) to get them hemmed? I will go anywhere in the city if anyone has a particularly good place or tailor to recommend.
Also, about how much will it cost to get one pair of pants hemmed?
Thanks everyone for your help. (I did a search of the archives but I couldn’t find any threads on this topic.)
Fee, first off nice new avatar!
Second, the Shark hubby has had a few shirts made at the tailor that used to be in the Hilton and we have been impressed with the work. The tailor has since moved

The only thing I can say is DONT have it done at a laundry service. I had a few buttons sewn back on some shirts at the local cleaners. the work was great… those buttons aren’t going anywhere soon, but they used black thread on a white shirt… 
give james tailor a try… and then report back
Thank you very much, Sharky.
I will check out James Tailor and report back in a few weeks.
Great name for a tailor, too. I wonder if he listens to James Taylor?!
Thank you once again for the tip.
Damn good question. I’ve got a leather jacket needs a new zipper. I’ll be near the recommended Tailor shop on Monday. Questions for the tailor, andybody?

PS. I’ll let you know if the zipper … zips.
Quick update…
I ended up going to a little place in my neighborhood to get my pants hemmed. The elderly woman charged NT$ 100 for each pair, except for two pairs that were NT$ 150. She said something about the seams being stronger on these two pairs. ???
NT$ 100 seems to be about the going rate for getting men’s pants hemmed. I asked around at some other shops, and at some shops in different neighborhoods and got this amount (or NT$ 150.)
Sharky, I will get up to James Tailor at some point. However, Linsen is kind of out of my way. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I was in the part of town (maybe a good reason in and of itself to go?!). I’d like to get some shirts made.
