I went to a tailor last week to have the waist of a cashmere jacket taken in. It's an old jacket but I'm starting to get fussy about the way my jacket fits.
Anyway, the guy tells me that he can take 1/2" at the shoulder to make the jacket fit better. I've never used this guy before and I was wondering if it is worth risking the jacket to find out if he's good enough for the job. My understanding is that taking in the waist is a trivial job. Taking in the shoulder is another story. He also wants to take in the shoulder from the armholes - I thought this was harder than taking it in from the center seams (which I suggested). Anybody else used Ugress on W72nd before?
I'm just having him take in the waist for now but I am thinking taking in the shoulder too. Opinions?
