Sleeve length alteration for splittable/double-faced wool coat?
I read somewhere that the construction of double-faced wool coats make then harder to do alterations. How much harder is it? For example, is it still within the capabilities of an average dry cleaner seamstress, or is this something that I absolutely should take to a dedicated tailor?
The dry cleaner seamstress has always done a fantastic job with simpler things like hemming pants and shortening suit jacket sleeves with non-functioning buttons. She also generally lets me know if she can’t do something, so I’m not too worried that she’ll take a job she’s not capable of. But it’s a whole trip to get to her so I wanted to see if I can save a long trip.
