I have a nice Andrew Marc leather jacket I bought last year. The sleeves are really longer than I prefer but I've been wearing it that way. The problem is there are snaps on the sleeves. I've been to Neiman Marcus alterations people and they said because of the snaps, the sleeve would have to be removed and taken up at the shoulder. NM is very expensive of course. My local alteration lady said same thing. She is reasonably priced and can do in a few days. She seems confident that she can do a good job. I'm just a bit reluctant because I've never had this type of alteration and it's leather. I haven't found a leather specialist in San Diego.
So.....I guess it's either I keep wearing it with too-long sleeves or take it to the local lady. Unless anyone out there has an excellent tailor in San Diego to recommend?
(I found one recommended leather alterations shop on Yelp and when I called to ask if the person who actually does the work would be in to look at my jacket, I was told they send it out -- many miles away in Chula Vista)
Advice? Sleeve length is approx to bottom of my thumb. I've seen some of the members on the Bal forum with some pretty long sleeves on their leather jackets.
