^^ Extremely easy. All he has to do is run in the side seams to the desired fit.

Need to find something to wear to a "cocktail dress" party for tomorrow. I have roughly 2 hours to shop for this in the city tomorrow. Some simple look idea's/pics would be appreciated.

It fits about the same, but I would recommend avoiding it. After two or three washes, the waistband on mine has warped so that it flares out strangely and is pretty much unwearable. EDIT: After trying it on again, I'll say I exaggerated a little. Also, it may fit a bit bigger. But I still don't recommend it.

So I want to buy a Spiewak Harris Wool coat online. Im just worried that the size wont fit. The measurements for the coat are:
Shoulder to shoulder: 18.5"
Pit to pit: 21"
Length (back collar to bottom): 33"
Sleeve length (shoulder to end): 25"

I am 5' 5" 155lbs, with an athletic build. My suit coat is 40s, which I had the sleeves shortened and slightly taken in at the waist. Thanks for the input everyone.

^^ That is pretty much perfect for someone who wears a sz40 suitcoat. Maybe a bit long for you, but that's a given I think. I measured a size 40 the other day and that's how big it was except pit to pit was 21.5" and the sleeves 27" (it was a 40L). Otherwise identical.

It stikes me that you must have a very athletic build to take a 40 @ 5'5"? Impressive.

Very athletic...or very fat

10% body fat. I eat barbells for breakfast... then have trouble finding clothes that fit.
