the sleeves are basted so you'll need to have a tailor adjust and attach the buttons. If you go with functional cuffs that would add about $80 + $20 to shorten the sleeve..if you just sew them on (non functional) then maybe $25 total to shorten and sew buttons

If you shorten the jacket then that might be another $30-50 depending on your tailor. And depending on how much you need shortening, it might throw off the pocket position and not be possible.

If you want a slightly more generous cut than intended from the designer, you might just get away with small adjustments + finishing the sleeves and trouser hems.

Thanks. Seems pretty reasonable - debating if I should pull the trigger.

Based on some of your comments on the tailoring, it seems this would fit me quite well with minimal adjustments.

However, I don't want to take something away from someone else here (or go to war over it), and I'm also a bit put off by the refusal to take PayPal or credit card.

I generally regard non-secure payment options with suspicion. What do you all think?

Bought many items from her and you shouldn't feel concerned at all. She's a great seller

Please don't let me keep you from bidding on it. I've decided not to go for it at this time. It would be great if someone on this forum wins it.

Ah....
two others jumped in in the last minute. Sheesh, the nerve!

Ah, well. Anyone have any good links to a general description of Spencer Hart? Good stuff?
