Just noticed that the tailor I've used for small-scale stuff, which included having the sleeves lengthened on various jackets, sewed the jackets' cuffs closed when adding length. Where there should be a vent there is now just one seam with the buttons sewn onto it.
I've had some of these jackets for years, but now that I've seen this I can't look away, and it's really annoying me.
Is this common? Can jacket sleeves be lengthened in a way that preserves the sleeve vent? We're not talking working cuffs here; these were just mid-to-middle+ range off-the-peg jackets with sewn-on buttons (Canali, Brooks Brothers, HF).
I'm a regular with long arms so sleeve lengthening needs to keep happening, but this is disappointing.
