I figured I'd post this here rather it getting lost in another big thread.
I purchased this Barbera Sartoriale 3-2 jacket some time ago from the board. It's a beautiful fabric, quarter lined, wool/silk/linen blend and fits very comfortably (shoulders, chest both fit well). I've only worn it a few times mostly, I think, because I find it a bit too long. As you can see by the pics, if I hold my hands down by my side, the only part of the thumb that falls below the bottom of the jacket is half of the thumb nail. I'm guessing the jacket is a couple inches or so too long. The length measures 30.5". I think if I had an inch taken off it would be ideal but not sure what that would do to the pockets stance, balance, etc.
My question is, if that's the case, is this something that can be fixed? If so, can most competent tailors do it or should I lean on a top notch tailor?
Or, am I making a big deal out of 1-1.5"?
Thanks in advance.
