Enjoy you jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reason-543-why-nordstrom-is-fab-leather-alterations#post-1558539 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 02:21:41 +0000 Joyce B 1558539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Beth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reason-543-why-nordstrom-is-fab-leather-alterations#post-1558534 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 02:20:12 +0000 Beth 1558534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce, she took up a hair over an inch from the upper sleeve, then tapered it slightly to reattach to the bottom half. I know what you mean about the seam placement...on me, the seam is just barely below my elbow with my arms hanging straight.</p> <p>Carole, my one and only previous experience with leather alterations was a disaster, but I knew if anybody would do it right, Nordies would.</p> <p>Word Lily, *high five*! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reason-543-why-nordstrom-is-fab-leather-alterations#post-1558450 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 00:09:35 +0000 Carole 1558450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Applause! That's scary when you are sending something out that you've spent a small fortune on. So glad you are happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reason-543-why-nordstrom-is-fab-leather-alterations#post-1558433 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 23:53:40 +0000 Joyce B 1558433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great! I will follow your lead and do the same with mine. What length of the connecting arm part did the taylor narrow? I think that for me the seam may end up above my elbow.<br /> Enjoy your properly fitting jacket and thanks for letting us know how it went! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reason-543-why-nordstrom-is-fab-leather-alterations#post-1558426 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 23:44:51 +0000 Word Lily 1558426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reason-543-why-nordstrom-is-fab-leather-alterations#post-1558398 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 22:49:03 +0000 Beth 1558398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of you may recall I was trying to decide between sizes of this leather moto jacket during NAS:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/classiques-moto-need-opinions-on-sizing">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-on-sizing</a></p> <p>I ended up going with the larger size and having Nordstrom shorten the sleeves. With bated breath, I picked it up today, and it is fantastic! You can't even tell that it's been altered. The tailor was able to take the sleeves up at the elbow seam and narrow the sleeves slightly in the process.</p> <p>Nordies comes through again. I love that place. :)</p> <p> </p>
