  • Seconding the above, I want to say I paid $60 in a pretty average city.

    The store I went to is called Jos-a-bank, feel free to look them up but any higher end men’s fine clothing store should have a tailor on site at all times.

    There are also dedicated tailor shops you can try looking for one of those.

    I don’t think places like dillards or Macy’s will do alterations but I could be wrong.

    Worst case the place you go may tell you something like “he only works Tuesdays and Saturdays” or something like that, so you may want to keep trying to get them on the phone, but I’ve not been told that before.

    Sorry, I just meant that the jasmine rice we get in the US seems different than the stuff you get in a more authentic asian restaurant, but this could be due to many factors. I do realize that jasmine rice was not invented in the US though.

    I’ve heard both sticky rice and sushi rice used interchangeably, I’m not sure if one is more correct than the other.

    Long grain is American style rice, like uncle bens for example. It’s creamier than jasmine rice, but not quite as much as arborio rice which is the stuff you need to make (Italian) risotto.

    Jasmine rice is an American version of a standard Chinese style rice used for stir fry. It usually works well for most American style Asian dishes.

    You’ll also see sticky rice which is Japanese rice used for sushi.

    Lastly Basmati rice is Indian rice and is characterized by not being creamy at all. You can pick out individual grains quite easily. To me, Basmati rice on a plate acts like 1000 individual items you have to eat rather than like long grain or arborio rice where a big scoop of it feels like 1 single thing you are taking bites of. It really is necessary for authentic Indian food though.
