Shortening sleeves - How much?

andrealm

I ordered a coat from Tesco and it's a great fit except the sleeves are too long. Does anyone know how much it's likely to cost to have the sleeves shortened?

Thanks

Cost £7.50 three years ago for a suit jacket, if I remember rightly, from a proper old fashioned tailor near where I live - sometimes it's worth a trip up to the gent's section of Marks and Spencers and ask the eldest/senior salesman where they send their suits/where he would send his if they needed doing.

Thanks, that's a good idea. £7.50 sounds quite reasonable. I've just looked on the Zipyard's website and it says they charge from £12 for jackets and from £14 for winter coats. I thought a local place would probably be a bit cheaper.
