    More to the point, who sews anymore?
    It's part of business: natural attrition due to changing lifestyles.

    There was an Indian seamstress that did cheap repairs nearby me, she didnt charge much and worked wonders on clothing. She eventually aged out and retired, you never realize how good you had it until you need a zipper fixed or you want to get more wear out of your favorite shirt lol. Anyways, all the places still left I can think of are run by immigrants or people with foreign backgrounds.

    Yeah, I guess CNN is fake news. Glad to see you agree with Trump on something.

    Look at you fact checking!

    But do you know that PE Leonard Green did an LBO in 2011 and saddled the company with massive debt? Ain’t no president fixing that crap. This is the barbarians at the gate.

    It's fake if it doesn't confirm what I believe ....... or want to believe.

    How does debating with someone who tells you things like this feel? Welcome to what it feels like to be part of non-MAGA world.

    (Then throw in having a POTUS who programs them with literal lies.)

    Cheers!

    My wife bought 2 pair of jeans at a thrift store for less than 10 dollars. They are slightly too long. She called a couple local highly recommended seamstress ladies and to hem them up. It is 25 dollars each. lol

    My wife will be doing it herself.

    I'm pretty sure I got a gringo price on a boot repair I had done, but it was cheaper than buying new boots
