Re: Specialty tailors for professional wear
Hi ,
I usually just take my clothes to a drycleaners and they alter the sleeves. I try the jackets on while I am there and the measure to fit. I've never had a problem with doing this.
Welcome to the board. Please take some time to look around. There is a lot of support here.
Take care
