Marbay's Tailors
Marbay is the place along downtown Session Road where you can have your fill of woodcrafts, native accessories, woven clothing and decor, and lots more. This section is just the ground floor and is right behind the Maharlika Livelihood Center which fronts Session Road.
When you're coming from Maharlika, the left side of the Marbay is a line of Tailoring Shops which specialize in uniforms of all sorts. Popular items are basketball jerseys and military gear. I took these shots when we were seated by a stool waiting for my pair of pants to be repaired.
These shops have been here for the longest time, and they still use sawing machines that are manually run using a pedal at the lower portion. We were also taught how to use such machines in Grade 6 Home Economics; my wife and I had lots of fun reminiscing about those good old days.
