Pablo Vargas and the Stanton Tailor Shop pre-date the gentrification of the Lower East Side, dating back to the days of business from the garment trade and fear of the neighborhood's dangerous lurkers. Now, Vargas has built a following of loyal, discerning customers with his impeccable skill and surprisingly reasonable prices. Whether it's making vintage pieces work, fitting a dress or suit to perfection or altering the very construction of the original garment, Vargas has earned high marks.
