I cant't stand not seeing any of my shirt sleeve when wearing a suit.
Right now my suit sleeves are just a tad bit too long. I know that having working button holes really limits what you can do regarding sleeve length, but is there any way to decrease the sleeve length, even slightly, without messing with the shoulder? I am hoping for maybe a little more than 1/4th of an inch.
I am apprehensive to have my long time tailor mess with the shoulders on this suit. My understanding is that even the best tailors can have trouble doing the shortening at the shoulders and it can be very costly. Not to mention that the particular suit in question was not cheap. But....if that is my only option, I'd love to hear some success stories and references for good tailors for this in NYC.
