I have what probably seems like a basic question about getting shirts altered. I have about 7 Brooks Brothers Slim Fit shirts which I thought were slim enough with the right sleeve length.
Now on further reflection (and with a more refined eye thanks to styleforum), I realize that the shirt sleeves are too long and that the back of the shirt is too blousy. Is it possible for a tailor to take the shirt in and shorten the sleeves?
This seems like an easy process, so what is a decent price in a major city (Chicago to be specific if you have recommendations)?
As a rule of thumb, how big are the waists and chests of your shirts relative to your actual chest and waist size, respectively.
Thanks Much.
