how much can you shorten a tailored jacket?
Hi, I am noticing jackets that may generally fit besides the length. How much can you shorten a jacket and does it depend also on closed vs open quarters?
Thank you!

wide fit denim recs
Hi,
I'm looking for recommendations/inspiration on wide fit denim. My silvertabs have some more character now since I opened the hem but I'm still looking for something more. Do not think something like jncos is my vibe so I'm not sure where to look. Thinking of something that's high rise and has a 10" leg opening which doesn't exist in the realm of Levi's. I'm cool with both designer and vintage etc though the more expensive the further out in the future I'll be getting them.
Thank you!

should shrunken denim be avoided?
Hey,
I found a listing for a pair of vintage denim in my waist size but then I look at the actual tag in the pics and it's a 32 so they're listing it as a 29 because it shrunk.
What sort of pitfalls are there to this fit wise? My initial reaction is to avoid these.
Thank you

milsurp serge wool weight
Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with vintage US milsurp serge wool pants? I'd like to have an idea of the weight of the fabric and how scratchy it is. Specifically looking into pairs made by watauga apparel corp. as I quite like my tropical polywool (pair I'm looking at is entirely wool however) milsurp trousers made by them and would like a winter pair.
Thank you!
