I had a coat jacket altered (sleeves shortened) here; they did a lovely job. The outer stitches were done perfectly, you can't tell that it wasn't the original stitching, and they even preserved the moleskin cuff on the lining.
UPDATE:
I was initially not thrilled with the lining; however, within a couple hours of posting the review, I was contacted by Opal and they offered to fix the lining. They picked it up the next morning, and dropped it off that evening - everything was perfect! Excellent stitchwork, and excellent customer service.
