I spoke to them by phone. </p> <p>I had thought you could bring outside things for alterations, it just used up more points or cost more. But she said no dice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recommend-me-a-boston-area-tailor#post-1624582 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 01:21:43 +0000 rachylou 1624582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No recommendation from Nordies?

The referral BR gave me does do leather alterations and has been in business for a long time.) </p> <p>Who does leather alterations...</p> <p>I went back to Banana Republic to return the jacket and some other purchases. I ended up getting $200 off the jacket! I still have over a month to return it, but I'm really wanting to see if the sleeves can be shortened for a reasonable fee. I do like the jacket a lot....:) </p> <p>I was surprised to call my local Nordstrom and find out they don't do alterations for items from outside. That wasn't my previous understanding. </p> <p>Thank you in advance. </p>
