mfitz804 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Got my first EDGE 1.0 today and like everyone else, I bought a bigger size than I take in the CCM style. The body part fits ok, a little loose because 58's weren't available and I got a 60, but I like my jersey that way so its fine. But the sleeves are kind of long for me. Not stupid long, as I am a tall guy with long arms, but definitely a little bit longer than I'd prefer. Part of me doesn't want to mess with them, but part of me also wishes they were about 2 inches shorter. Its obviously not a game worn or anything like that, and I don't anticipate having to sell it so re-sale value does not factor into the equation here. I am just curious if it can be done rather than whether it SHOULD be done. Has anyone ever had any luck with having someone shorten their sleeves on an EDGE?

flyhighguys94 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hahaha i laughed at that one. Im curious about this as well. Im sure a local tailor could do it for a few bucks. As long as the jerseys doesnt have striping at the cuff it wont look weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow_hound Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I have done it before. Its possible however the difficulty is based on how short. The arms are tapered and angled in certain team styles. A few inches is easy to do, more then that it might not work. If youre a do it yourself kinda person seam rip the end sleeve open and unfold the edge. With sharp scissors trim the jersey arms 1 inch longer than you want them to end up. Then with a hot iron and a cloth turn the sleeve inside out and fold the cut edge of the sleeve inward on itself to make a new fold like the jersey sleeve was before. With the iron press the fold so it will hold shape and then go to your sewing machine. Use a straight stitch and sew across the sleeve circumference by the cut edge. Flip rightside out ans your good to go. Honestly its harder to follow what i said then to actually do it. Its very easy. If you dont have these supplies or arent handy with doing it yourself a tailor can do this very quick and cheap. Same method is used to hem jeans/pant legs.
