I'll be dropping it off at Goodwill this week, then.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gillian, he laughed at your comment! Hubs bought the scarf while we were vacationing in Italy, after seeing all the dapper Italian guys walking around sporting them.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alterations-for-hubss-jacket#post-1036461 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 01:02:22 +0000 Echo 1036461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depending on whether the jacket was very high end to begin with, I think it is likely alterations would be pretty steep. From my understanding, when the shoulders are too wide, it requires more intensive alterations, and add to that the fact that the length might also have to be adjusted and it is likely they would have to essentially take it apart and completely rebuild it. Granted that CAN be done by a gifted tailor, but it is often cost-prohibitive enough to make buying new a better option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alterations-for-hubss-jacket#post-1036460 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 01:01:56 +0000 Anonymous 1036460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know anything about jackets, but his scarf is awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alterations-for-hubss-jacket#post-1036457 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:52:50 +0000 Marley 1036457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Mochi - I have no clue - but will be watching this thread with interest.&nbsp; Hopefully some of our sewers will chime in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alterations-for-hubss-jacket#post-1036438 Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:21:50 +0000 Mochi 1036438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He has lost at least 30 pounds. The shoulders are huge now (they're padded). He doesn't remember what he paid for it. Probably got it aT Macy's or someplace similar. He's not tall and it's clearly long on him. I wonder if it's worth it to alter, even assuming it's doable. He doesn't need for work but it's an occasional<br /> Item. </p> <p>As always, thank you! </p>
