altering my leather suit.

im thinking of doing something to reduce the waist section. everything else is fine w/ me except the waist section.

the next size smaller won't fit my lengths so that's worse.

anyway... i know there's some precautions to altering leather since they're made w/ complicated stitching and altering it might mess it up.

so any of you guys have any ideas?

Drink lots of beer and eat lots of carbs. It works for me!

Try going to a custom leather shop and asking what it'll cost for alterations. They do this for a living so they shouldn't have a problem with doing it right...

(For those hung up on grammar... shouldn't have a problem with doing it correctly...)

shouldn't have a problem doing it right.

the word "with" aint got no bizness being in there.

You can probably find a way to work some elastic in there? I'd take it to a place that specializes in leather though. The last thing you want to do is compromise the durability. Or just wear a belt
