I don’t see 46 RMC very often.

I think I’m going to have a tailor have a hack at it.

Brave man. May I ask, out of interest, what it is specifically that you are thinking of getting done?

To tight under the arms

You could reach out and ask Dena at Great Leather what/if this is possible.

I have really never heard of anyone "stretching" a Pit to Pit dimension. The opposite - take it in, would not be nearly as difficult. Finding similar leather to fabricate "patch in" panels could be a pretty big challenge. But I am not a taylor so I guess anything is possible. Good luck with your plans...

Hi what they do is open up under the arm pits and install a four inch round piece and there you go done.the guy showed me pictures says he’s done about 12 on his machine in the past.

Ps not to be bad mouthing anyone ever but I personally have had best results with male leather craftsmen .belts saddles stirrups gun belts leather kidney belts. And boots etc.no offense to Dena.this guys got a photo album as thick as a old phone book.

Dena is awesome. But if you trust your guy you trust your guy.

If you go for it, I would be interested in photos of the work and your thoughts on how much it helped.

I guess the leather “piece” wouldn’t match up well, but being where it’s located that might not be an issue.

I’d also be curious to see pictures if you decide to go ahead.

I tried a Nelson (size 44) and the fit was pretty spot on except the sleeves were much too wide for my scrawny arms … I’m not brave enough to alter a jacket at this price point so I sent it back.

I’d just sell and start over.

Or this

I own them all. The quality and cut is similar on all. If you alter your RMC and are unhappy, your essentially out everything. While if you buy one of these you can flip for probably about the cost of the alterations
