price drops!Selling a couple of things
1 - Eidos Shay coat - size 48, in what I think is an indigo/blue boucle wool. super nice coat but just doesn't really fit into my wardrobe. I wore it exactly once for a few hours, it's basically brand new. Fit is tts. $250

Thanks. I'm mostly concerned about the elbow area (tightness from bending the elbow). Sounds like it'd be a little less straightforward to let out the width.I own a lot and generally have not found that. The sleevehead is set like a literal dress-shirt sleeve though, so there's no excess fabric there in the top (and no grinze)
All Augustos I've ever seen also have french seams throughout, so you could theoretically widen them all about 1cm each at least, but you'd have to deconstruct them completely, reverse the direction of the pieces are attached and potentially bias-tape them or overlock them as they are not finished.
I think you might be overthinking it. It's a shirt jacket that wears more like an overshirt imo.Thanks. I'm mostly concerned about the elbow area (tightness from bending the elbow). Sounds like it'd be a little less straightforward to let out the width.
Yeah, I feel a good amount of resistance when I try to bend my armsI think you might be overthinking it. It's a shirt jacket that wears more like an overshirt imo.
Do you own one and the elbows are too tight? Curious why you'd want to do that.
Really tempted, but already have this coat in grey and orange... also lacking closet space.
