tailors on the streetside for big custom-made shirt

Post by Bongmab69 »

I am a pretty big guy, 150 kgs, and in 2015 when i came first time to PP a nice lady took me to a street where it was full of tailors, just on the walk-way !! They made several shirts for me, the best i ever had !! The girl lost contact with me, and because that time i had no clue where she took me, i only remember, driving on 51 we took a right turn, i try to find again, should be somewhere not so far away from Orussey marked i would yhink, but nobody can explain me where !! It was a pretty big street (as 214 for example) but its not that one,and around the corner where some small streets whit even more tailors with a small stall, all together i would think at least 50 of them !!
anyone has an idea where this would be and if it still exists

thanks in advance !!

It maybe in this area you seek, thing is I have noticed of the city, all business of the same trade seems to pocket together in same areas.

You're right, there are quite a few on street 214. If you drive down from the Olympic Stadium end you'll see them on the left on the corner of one of the side roads (Street 113 or 111, I can't remember) but they're easy to see if you just go down street 214. I had some shirts and trousers done there last year and you're right about the quality, I still wear them now and never had an issue with them. They were tailored perfectly. (Although I've lost quite a bit of weight since so they're now a bit too big)
