You guys hsould have pulled the trigger a few weeks ago, price increasse are in effect already. Bombers, DR and motos are $710 now iirc. It's still a bargain though.

for ToJ price increases, I believe you get a discount if you don't use electronic payment (paypal)

It depends on what you need lengthening. Shirts, I don't see how it can be done. With jackets like blazers or coats, it might be possible by a quarter to half an inch. There is usually a little bit of fabric on the fold of the sleeves that a skilled tailor can probabaly use to extend a blazer or coats sleeve a bit. I am not good with terms and explaining but I think Nii might be able to chime in on this matter and explain it much better.

Yeah, I have a few blazers/sports coats that are too short for my arms, but fit well around my body. So it is possible to lengthen the sleeves on them? If so, how much would it run?

not mine...that's how i would probably want one done if the modified pockets and collars were still an option

the only thing that can be modified on the current bomber is the back

i think there may be a discount if you pay w/ western union (which would include a fee), check, money order, or concealed cash

i personally would stick w/ paypal despite no discount

I got a new perry ellis pea coat. I paid only $63

 

[jordman23]

I have wanna buy a navy or grey one like that, my Black Ralph Lauren one is getting "furry" , for the lack of a better term.

Take it in to your tailor, and have him/her open up the sleeve and see how much fabric there is in there to work with. Typically, the sleeve can be lengthened by undoing some of the fabric/lining in the sleeve. If push comes to shove - the tailor can attach some more fabric to allow it to be longer. Usually though, you probably shouldnt buy a jacket that needs more than 1/2 an inch to an inch max of lengthening.

Have I mentioned that you can be banned for attempting to sell outside of the buy/sell forums lately? 
Don't be stupid.

[john sterling]

Im sure this has been asked to death so forgive me for not looking through this thread but i want to get away from sneakers as my daily shoe and want a nice comfortable shoe that you can wear with jeans.

 

[money making a]

I would like to mention that RTW suits with working sleeve buttonholes are a major PITA

expensive mistake
