So aweek ago I took a pair True Spec pants to Jim@Jaime's to have them hemmed. My wife had measured them and even put in a stitch to hold the measurement. Initially, I was planning on having her hem them but she was just too busy so I took them in to the nearest place.... So Jim (hispanic immigrant of somesort) says "Peoplein the US just don't know how to sew anymore." I think, Ok as a rule thats probably true.
So, I come back to get my pants and I take them home. Once I get home, I looked at them and saw that it was a total hack job. The hemline is all over the place, he has sewn a fold into the hem and there are places where the thread is already frayed.
The next day, I took them back for a refund. I showed them to Jim and he says "Whats wrong with them?" At this point I want to say "You let your 5year old hem them, thats whats wrong with them." But I show him the mistakes. He says "this happens from time to time."
At that point he offers to re-do it, but my confidence is low and I told him I just wanted my money back because I was taking them elsewhere. Of course he refused. I told him that I was going to do all that I could to make sure noone ever brought anything there again. All this out of principle and I hope he loses more than the $12 he stole from me. Was thinking of filing a claim in small claims court. I'm feeling bored...
BUT the biggest joke of all is that he was busting on the US because we can't sew.
