This blazer was sitting on a bench outside my workplace for two days, at which point I took a closer look and found it to be in great condition. I tried it on and it seemed to me that it was not so far off from my size (it's a bit too large) and that it could be salvageable. (Yeah, it's a little gross to find a blazer on the street and try it on, but I'm a poor grad student lacking an all-important navy blazer and couldn't pass up the opportunity.) I have since had it dry cleaned and am now wanting to take it to a tailor. But before I go, might someone advise me regarding whether or not it's too large for a tailor to easily take down to my size, and if not, what alterations I should be looking for? I've never been to a tailor before and so don't know what to expect. Should I simply take the blazer in and have the tailor alter it as he sees fit, or should I provide him with a list of specific alterations I want him to do (copied from responses to this post).
For those curious, the blazer is made by Dawson & Roberts, a company which I'm having some trouble finding any information about except that it's sold at Nordstrom.
