Shirt Tailoring
So I just bought a few new shirts... and as usual, they aren't tapered as well as they should be... I hate when the side and back of my shirt billows out-looks sloppy.
I've had a couple shirts taken in in the past but never really liked the final fit... anyone have any pointers about how they have a tailor/seamstress take in their shirt? I know there are other lanky guys out there:D |

My wife tailors my shirts for baseball and basketball. I put the shirt on w/ my uniform pants (and belt for baseball). She pulls on the side seam towards the back to the fit that I want. She pins it, takes out the side seam, and sews it back to where it was pinned with a reinforced side seam. Excess is trimmed off and shirt now fits correctly.

Agreed with Bob. A shop that is dedicated to doing alterations should also be able to do a good job for you.

I don't think as a moderator Bob can put people on ignore, it would kind of defeat the purpose. Also, I see where Padgett was going there. Think chseagle if you're not sure. ;)

Thank you Bob.
Unfortunately, through trial and error you have to find someone who knows what they are doing. |
thanks...
Bob, Welpe, thanks for the honest responses.
Mark, if you need some help losing weight, feel free to ask others on this board about a preseason training program... I know I'm here to help if someone asks for it. |
