What exactly can a tailor do to a shirt/suit?
I know hem/sleeves can be shortened/slimmed, but that's about it. What about in terms of the shoulder and torso?
Also, my neck is around 14.8" so I need to wear shirts with 15" collars but I find that 15" shirts are too baggy on me. I like more of a slim fit and I have a fairly athletic build.
Should I just keep buying smaller shirts that fit me better but are too small in the neck or just buy larger shirts and have them tailored.
I usually wear size s/14.5" for classic fit RL shirts. Should I try going up a size for the custom fits?
Also... What is "balance"
