Maybe you got your hands on a hard to find jersey but it doesn't quit just right - anyone ever take it to a tailor to take it down a size?
I'm interested in anyone's experience or thoughts on this or how difficult it might be - I'm considering it but am slightly afraid of messing up the jersey....but I kinda feel like it would be like tailoring anything else...guess it depends on the skills of the tailor

1) just a tad short...maybe by an inch - really doesn't matter that much it fits fine, I just notice when I wear my hustlers cause the back pad is so big the jersey rides up a little and sometimes gets caught in it, which is a look I'm not too fond of
2) the grey that used to be around the bottom of the jersey isn't there anymore cause to alter the bottom and bring in the side seems meant that stripe didn't fit naturally back on
3) same with the grey at the end of the sleeves
4) the grey under the armpits doesn't match up 100% but it's hard to tell unless you look close - definitely can't tell on the ice
5) Also the "restitched" size patch is a little high, it crosses the seem and I might have them lower it so it doesn't cross the seem but that's just me being a little OCD I think...
Here are some pics - first a before - then the afters

That looks awesome.
Could never tell it was tailored. I've got a 58+ jersey that is a tad too big.
Seeing this makes me want to bring it in to have it done.
Thanks!
You should do it - it literally took one weekend to do - the only thing I would suggest is being VERY VERY specific, Also, I went to a tailor that I don't usually go to, mainly because he is more expensive, but I wanted to make sure this was done right, he did a good job on it though so no complaints here.

Can any of you guys give me the name of a tailor that I might be able to send a jersey to have this done? I have a 58k that needs to be tailored, would love any recommendations if possible!
Let me know if you find someone and how it works out. I have the same issue.
