So, i've been meaning to ask this, but I have been away on vacation. I am tall (6'1") but have somewhat short arms for my height (about 34.5"). I can get Brooks Bros. Shirts and various other manufacturers shirts to work out just fine for me, but sweaters always seem to have an issue. I always have extra fabric, and the sleeves tend to go over my knuckles if i lay them out over my hands. Needless to say, I get extra fabric on the arms, and it bugs me, as I love sweaters
Question 1.
For a basic sweater, cashmere Brooks Bros or Loro Piana, is it possible to get the sleeves shortened? I didnt think so, but if anyone could tell me, I figured it would be the people of this forum
Question 2
Regardless of the answer to question 1 does anyone know of a manufacturer that does sweaters with sleeves of this length (or at least closer to this length so there isnt so much fabric), or MTM? I don't really want to do MTM cashmere if I don't have to, but I would consider it
Thanks again for all the help. I hope everyone is well, and I look forward to your replies.
