Ladies, i have a question. Where do you take your blazers for alteration? As on my previous post my sleeves needs shortening, I took it to Nordstroms and several tailors around my area and no one wants to accept it. They said because the sleeves has a working cuffs they can only shorten a few cms on the cuff area, they also refused to shorten it from the shoulder part...

Hi!
I have have the sleeves of my navy Balmain blazer done by a very good seamstress in Switzerland. She did an excellent job (shortened from the shoulders).

The best is to ask a SA you trust, word of mouth works well.

Hope this helps!

Marmotte, I love this! I'm actually looking at buying this in black-do you mind posting a photo from the front? I'm worried about how it lies. Thank you!

Gives new meaning to just another navy jacket, and it's cooler looking than chanel. Love the nipped in waist and boucle texture. Standout piece even against the other Balmain jackets from new season.

How does everyone care for their Balmain blazer? Do you take it to a regular dry cleaner? How many wears between each cleaning?

I wouldn't dry clean at all unless you've really sweated thru or got visible stains. Normally, I just air it out or steam the lining after a few wears.
