What Tailors Need From You

If you take advantage of our alteration credit, your local tailor will appreciate a few things:

• Bring the shirt freshly washed/pressed. This ensures the fabric has settled.

• Explain exactly what feels off. (Sleeves too long, chest snug, shoulders pulling.)

• Show your Deo Veritas order sheet. It outlines the cut and details.

• Keep alterations conservative. Small changes preserve balance — e.g., shorten sleeves by 0.5”, not 1.5”.

Pro Tip: Stick to reputable tailors. Cheap alterations often lead to uneven results.
