Hi all, I just bought a c 1950's? 'Guards' thornproof 2 piece suit, it is a wool 2 ply twist in light grey-ish brown with a green overcheck.
It needs the jacket sleeves and trouser legs taking up could anybody recommend a good tailor etc in the Chesterfield/Sheffield area of the UK who could proficiently do this?
I'll post pictures later.

Ok here are a few photo's, they really dont do this 3 button c 1950's?suit justice as it appears to have had very, very little use;
