    Military Tailor - Near Birmingham/Midlands?

    Does anyone know of a good military tailor in or near Birmingham? I just need some alterations done to my 2's.

    I've found one in Warwick, but it seems they are kaput, and another called Callaghan Tailor in Birmingham city centre who say they do military alterations. Any others or recommendations?

    Thanks

    Who normally does your Regimental tailoring?
    ‘Good God!’ he laughed, and slowly filled his pipe,
    Wondering ‘why he always talked such tripe’.

    I'm not in a conventional unit. I know who our approved "tailors and hatters" are - but they're all miles away. As I only need some alterations, I was hoping someone in a unit local to Birmingham would have some suggestions.

    Cheers

    There's a good civvy tailor in Halesowen next to the church who have done both my 2s, 1s, suits etc. They seem to pick up quite a few jobs from the TA units in the area.
