I thought about getting couple shirts on sale and hemming it. Is that a stupid idea?

I don't want all my shirts to be longer, but its nice to have one or two. Just takes a little more thought when you're pairing them with jackets. Like a super short cafe jacket is NOT gonna work.

I'm a shorter guy so I took my work shirts to get hemmed. I told the tailor to keep the label at the bottom. "For what? I throw away!" was his answer lol. I told him to keep it on which he did. The only problem was he snipped the exposed thread on the sides for no reason :mad:. I also got a short collar shirt hemmed which ran pretty long. Tailor said "shirt too big!" :rotflmao:

I heard it at the Engineered Garments showroom in NYC and saw the shirting samples for FW20 myself.
