I have been going to the same guy for a while and was disappointed with the way a few jackets turned out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-34792704703537430422010-02-16T14:42:33.842-05:002010-02-16T14:42:33.842-05:00Absolutely agree with this.

Small things like taking in the sides a bit, adding some nicer buttons, etc. make a big difference.<br /><br />Incidentally, the sleeves can be shortened (a certain amount) even if they have real buttonholes. This is best done by actually taking material out at the shoulder. However, the roughly 'cone' shape of the sleeve means this can't be done by much and the fact that it requires the removal and reattachment of the sleeve means that it is, of course, very expensive.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830993529506105218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191518927726520283.post-2127409563763268862010-02-16T10:12:02.551-05:002010-02-16T10:12:02.551-05:00I have a navy suit I bought 2 years ago that I wou...I have a navy suit I bought 2 years ago that I would like to get altered and taken in.

For example: I'm an extra small at Banana Republic and at times I can find very nice shirts down to about $20. However, I find that the shirts have too much material throughout the torso (shoulders sit at a very nice spot though). Can a tailor make it more fitted? Would it be worth it?<br /><br />Thanks a lot!<br /><br />~MarvinMarvin!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10248769657303726376noreply@blogger.com
