Would bringing a hoodie to a tailor to add extra pockets on the inside be worth it, or am I crazy?
My favorite hoodie that has a ton of pockets is wearing out and I'd like to get something warmer to replace it, but I can't find anything from a brand that I recognize/can trust. I was thinking of getting a heavyweight American Giant hoodie and taking it to a tailor, but I have no idea how expensive that would be.

That doesn't sound crazy to me. Where would you get the additional material for the pockets, though? I would expect a tailor to charge in the neighborhood of $50, but that's a rough guess.
I've been thinking of adding an inside pocket to a vintage jacket of mine and I've decided to just do it myself with iron on fabric tape. Getting a tailor to do it would cost twice what the jacket cost, and I'm not skilled enough to open up the lining 🤷♀️ I don't really care what it looks like inside anyways
