I had a denim jacket from Eddie Bauer (pictured here <a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/Women/Clearance/Jackets-Blazers--Outerwear/index.cat#ppl=%7Btype%3A%22hide%22%7D" rel="nofollow">http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/W.....hide%22%7D</a> though you can't enlarge the photo because it's sold out) nipped in more at the waist, and it made a big difference in the fit. </p> <p>Even though EB had re-styled this jacket to be a little more cropped and fitted, it was still a bit boxy on me. Fixing it was no problem for my tailor, who is just a regular dry-cleaner (i.e., you shouldn't have to find a specialty tailor for this job.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altering-a-denim-jacket#post-88987 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:25:18 +0000 Angie 88987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good seamstress will absolutely 100% be able to alter that denim jacket. I had mine beautifully altered everywhere. It’s a question of how much you’re prepared to spend. It's not cheap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altering-a-denim-jacket#post-88916 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:26:24 +0000 Inge 88916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping this for aidanhh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altering-a-denim-jacket#post-88880 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:47:52 +0000 aidanhh 88880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've read a bunch of the threads about denim jackets and there is a lot of suggestions about altering them... The denim jacket I recently bought is kind of complicated in that it has a continuous waste band, and lots of double and heavy stitching... is this normal for a tailor to work with? Or will their be cuts and re-sewings where their weren't any before, to get around certain styled aspects of a denim jacket?</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p>
