I've never really read a single good post about what a tailor can and can't do concerning shortening a shirt sleeve. Assume the shirt in question has gauntlet buttons.
Just how far can they take up a sleeve without messing up the position of the gauntlet button? Can the gauntlet button and buttonhole be completely relocated? (If yes, what does this normally cost?)
I'm looking specifically for information about what a tailor can do to an OTR at a reasonable cost. I know most of you will reply "Go MTM", but getting an answer like that isnt the purpose of this question.
Every once in a while, I come across killer deals with OTR shirts that look really good but sizing is usually a pain. Sleeve length wise, I have short arms and often fit into a size 38 but my neck is size 39. Most size 39 sleeves seem about 1-2 inches too long for me.
