I would expect any decent clothing alteration service could do it. My first port of call would be one of those places on the High Street.

Or as Phil says, beer & pies is the other solution. And cake of course.

I'd say it depends on where it would need altering. If it's just nipping the sides in then could be done at a place like Jon suggests, just need to check the design could be trimmed off so you just lose a bit of yellow and not any graphics. If you need the shoulders narrowing too then you may hit more problems. Also sleeve width as you don't want a snug body and baggy sleeves.

That's OK for racing, but otherwise he's gonna look like a right knob. :lol:

That is a good idea Toks, I might see if I can get mine done at the same time as getting the zipper replaced for something of better quality than the crap that Santini seem to use on their kit.

Cheers

If the High Street places can't sort you out, you could try Alex Laycock

Don't be put off my all the wedding dress photos, she's also somewhat of a cycling clothing specialist (or certainly used to be).

Does anyone know of a kit stretching service where I can get my Large tops made XL? Toks, please save me any off-cuts from your tailored jerseys! Too many pies and cakes and not enough riding I'm afraid :lol:
