Dry Cleaning or Tailors First

Ms_Chocaholic

My partner has a jacket and he needs to get something sewn onto the pocket, the jacket also needs dry cleaning.  Which do we get done first.

Thanks

Unlikely to make any difference, especially if its been cleaned before. 

Personally would either dry clean first and then get the patch sewn on or pass it to a tailors that offer a cleaning services and let them decide the ordering (depending on the quality of the jacket and if the extra for tailor pressing is worth it or not)

Please clean first. I have been asked to do alterations on unwahed clothing it's not nice and many tailors/seamstress's will refuse unclean items.

Yes we will definitely do that but when I say it needs cleaning, the jacket isn't dirty, it might just have a small mark on a sleeve or similar.
