Suit jacket sleeve shortening

Alteration service. Price on request.

Suit jacket sleeve shortening, shown on a charcoal single-breasted jacket with notch lapels, both cuffs pinned at the new length and a tape measure laid along the sleeve. The sleeve is shortened so the right amount of shirt cuff shows, with the cuff buttons reset to keep their spacing. The new length is marked on you at the fitting with the shirt you will wear. The result is custom tailored to your measurements.

How it works

Bring the piece to the studio in Officer. We look at it with you, pin and chalk the change at a fitting, and quote before we start.

Typical timeline: Most hems and simple adjustments are ready within a week. Bridal and suit work is scheduled around your date.

Bring the shoes and undergarments you will wear with it, so the length and fit are set correctly.

Fabric and care

We work with wool suiting, linen and blends. Wear the shirt you plan to wear with the jacket to the fitting so the cuff shows correctly.
