Hi all,
I wanted to see if anyone had any experience modifying IH shirts. I did a search through the forum and it seems like people are able to shorten the sleeve and shorten the shirt, however details on exactly what was done is lacking.
Specifically, when shortening the sleeves, is it more advisable to modify from the cuff or the shoulder? Can a competent tailor replicate the stitching on the shoulder seam? What about the flat inside seam? Is there any fabric that is especially hard to tailor, such as heavy weight denim?
Thanks!
Dan

Dan in my limited experience sleeves are always shortened from the cuff the cuff removed excess removed and then resewn.
a competent and experienced tailor/seamstress should be able to do all the above, however I have seen a few faces that look like this [emoji50] when presented with heavy weight denim as their needles/machines have to be up to the job.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@d.s3 Have a tailor remove the shirt cuff completely and reattach it at the point to achieve the desired shirt sleeve length
I've had a Belstaff Trialmaster jacket sleeve lengthened, at Hideout Leathers, using a similar method however with the addition of millerain cotton to achieve the desired length.

I need some lowtops:
PF Flyers - All Court 1965

Both are made in Japan. 37 Celsius is too hot for boots.

I have a pair of hillsides which are supposedly made by shoes like pottery. They're very nice and I think better made than a lot of the alternatives.
