[I searched past threads and didn't see this question raised/discussed]
I inherited a beautiful Golden Fleece suit from a relative, but it is a 44L, while I wear a 44R. From measuring the lengths of my other GF suits, the 44L is about an inch longer than my Regulars (a bit more in the sleeves - roughly 1.5 - 2").
Can a Long be tailored to a Regular, or will too many problems arise (positioning of the pockets, buttons, drop of the lapel, etc.)? If anyone has any insight or experience in this, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts!
