Argyle alteration
Howdy,
I was a proud recipient of the Argyle that my father wore in his wedding. But, I'm 5'11 and 170. He's 6'2" and built like a real man.
After two years of staring at it, I went to work with needle, thread, and steam iron.
I wore this set to church today.
Cheers,
Kevin.

Very nice work, even better that it has some personal history.

It looks very nice. You should have posted a "before" picture though.
Cheers

True Jamie,
My bad. Make it 3" longer and add a substantial amount of girth from the chest through the waist.
sorry.
Kevin.

Looks like a wonderful job on the alteration, and the place where it came from makes it even more special.
