@theclothingcenter8: Google’s Most Asked: Can You Tailor a size 42 suit jacket down to a size 40? Well, yes… but the shoulder is where alteration costs can exceed the value of the garment. Waist suppression and sleeve adjustments are among the more accessible alterations a tailor performs. Clean, efficient, and well worth doing on the right piece. Restructuring a shoulder is an entirely different level of work. The labor involved is substantial and the price reflects it. That investment only makes sense when the garment underneath justifies it. A high value suit worth preserving is one thing. A mid range department store purchase is another. The honest answer in that second scenario is often to start fresh with something built better from the beginning. That is the kind of advice we give here. #theclothingcenter #menswear #customsuits #newjersey #tailoring
