Terrapin charges a $60 cleaning fee for suits that are so dirty they would contaminate our sewing machines.  We also reserve the right to refuse to work on suits that are just too nasty for words, so if you send a suit for alterations, please be sure it is clean and dry.   Don't forget to complete the Measure Chart and ship it along with your suit.
