Hi guys, I have this Brunello Cucinelli polo that fits absolutely perfectly except for the length. Does anyone know of a tailor in NYC that could alter it or even make a copy with the right length? Thanks!

I don't know of anyone who does bespoke polos but I imagine that shortening it a tad is a pretty simple operation.

Lengthening it, however, is another story.

Take care with "just" having a polo shortened. It may have to be tapered a bit, too. Depending on the cut they can flare at the bottom.

I might be wrong, but I think I've heard Ascot Chang having this service once.
