Shoulders Overhang: If the shoulder is boxy and overhanging, you may want to exchange for a smaller size. Keep in mind everything gets a little smaller too, so be sure you have extra space everywhere before exchanging.

Loose Under Arms: If there is bagginess under the arms, but everything else fits, you can tailor it in. This is better than sizing down and dealing with tightness elsewhere.
-
Loose Waistline: If there is bagginess around the midsection, but everything else fits, you can tailor it in.
-
Coat Too Long: If the coat bottom falls below split of the pants, swap to a shorter length coat or deal with it.Tailoring is not advised. Contact us for an exchange.

Sleeves Long: if your sleeves fall over the palm, they can be shortened by a tailor.
