Best of Boston

When you buy a suit in Filene’s Basement and ask the salesman whom he recommends for alterations, John Tzalemas’s shop is often the response. Around the corner (5 Bromfield St.) from the department store, John the Custom Tailor will do a good job quickly and will make a suit to your specifications. “I’ve been a tailor since 1952,” Tzalemas says, “and have developed an excellent skill. We offer good service and good quality.”
