galvinwong Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I've got a chance to get a Jets 2.0 at a decent price but the problem is that it's size 60. I'm considering pulling the trigger on it and getting it altered to like a size 56. Anyone ever have a jersey altered like this before, and if so any recommendations on a Toronto area shop that can do it? If I can't alter it I might just get it customized as a Tyler Myers and never wear it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) If I had to guess, the cost of the alteration will ruin the bargain you got, and you should probably just find a 56.

scarchelli Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Definitely just wait, considering altering a 60 to a 56 would involve ultimately slimming the entire jersey (which I don't even know is possible), it will cost a lot.

mfitz804 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Or if it's that good a price, buy it, flip it, buy the right size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaxpak Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I haven't heard of altering jersey sizes, but you could always wear a sweatshirt underneath the jersey if it is too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeloS76 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Maybe SLC could do an alteration? Wouldn't hurt to call and ask if they do it, and how much it would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr_Puck Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 A little off topic but I keep thinking of the reverse situation with Pete Peeters extending his jersey to make it bigger: http://thirdstringgoalie.blogspot.com/2012/02/1982-83-boston-bruins-pete-peeters.html I hope you get the jersey worked out Galvin.

jolmari Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Wow, that's really crazy. Maybe M&N took their jersey cut from Peeters' jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Wow, that's really crazy. Maybe M&N took their jersey cut from Peeters' jersey? "Someone go get us a game jersey to work from". Peters was the first they found. That would be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking, I'd have hated that when I used to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
