Also, I have some shirts that need to be (forgot the term) reduced in stomach/torso size so it's less baggy. Would Albert still be good at those? I usually only go to Albert for hemming my pants.
Tightening up the torso area on a dress shirt can involve two approaches:

1. Darts at the back
2. Undoing the sides and re-stitching the shirt so that it's tighter.

I've had Albert do both on my shirts with pretty decent results. Like I said, if your shirt has double-stitching on the sides, Albert will cut a corner and just use a single layer of stitching. If your shirt isn't from a designer, the no biggie.
