I've been "needing" a proper daywear jacket for some time now, and recently stumbled across this gem for a modest price:



It's sized as a 38L, which should be just fine across the chest, but the sleeves might be a bit long. (If anything, I'm on the "S" side of "R".)

I'd plan to ask my mother-in-law -- for whom this would be a first, although she's quite skilled as a seamstress -- to perform the surgery, but wanted to double-check with the experts here to make sure this isn't a bigger deal than I anticipate.

Many thanks in advance!
