A good jacket deserves an assessment
A quality jacket can feel current again with targeted alterations. Before deciding, we look at the structure, the fabric, the inside seam allowances and above all the position of the shoulders.
The most effective alterations
Taking in the waist, shortening the sleeves, adjusting the hem or correcting small imbalances can make a big difference when the jacket's foundation is right.
When the job is complex
Altering shoulders, armholes or deeper proportions takes more work and is not always worthwhile. An honest assessment separates a useful adjustment from an overly invasive transformation.
The result must look natural
A good alteration should not be visible. The jacket must keep its balance, freedom of movement and consistency between front, back and sleeves.
