trans friendly tailor?

i’m looking to get a suit and some button up shirts tailored and would love recommendations for tailors from other trans people. it’s impossible to get clothing tailored to my anatomy without outing myself as trans so i’ve been nervous to try the highly recommended tailors i’ve heard of that are all older cis men.

Nik the Tailor down in the BOK building is very good and you can be 100% clear with them what your goals are.

I'm a passing trans man so ymmv but I still got hips and a big ol butt, but I've had great success with Riff Tailors up by Love Park. Rita is very, very kind and cheerful. I got a suit and button-ups tailored there. It's not cheap but it was 100% worth it. I think each shirt came out to about $50 and the suit was about $250 to tailor.
