For Fabiana Faria’s Go-To T-shirt Spot
EDDIE’S EXPERT TAILOR, 160 Allen St.; 212-254-1151
coming soon co-founder Fabiana Faria found Eddie’s Expert Tailor in the East Village eight years ago while searching for someone to resize a bomber jacket. Another tailor she tried was hesitant, saying the job might take three months— Eddie’s didn’t falter and was able to bring the bomber jacket down to her size in about two weeks. Since then, she’s brought in close to a hundred pieces, including a couple of suits and corduroy pants—but Eddie’s has ultimately become her go-to for T-shirts. Faria has a short torso and prefers a boxy tee—she likes a 22-inch fit—so she hems nearly every shirt in her collection, from merch tees to her Scarr’s Pizza shirt to designer-collaboration shirts, at Eddie’s. (From $10.) “He already knows when I walk in what
I’m coming in for,” she says.
