i bought a team sized (6xl) level 1 tall tee about 2 months ago. At first i loved it and thought it was perfect but looking at it now im having second thoughts and i dont really want it down to my knees. Do you think a tailor could take it from 36 in. to like 34 or 33 inches??

The tailor would be drinking his coffee and he would definatley do a spit take, all over some chicks wedding dress. He would then proceed to ask if you were a klansmen, if the shirt was white of course.

My tailor is obviously a bonified NS thugger on the side, cause he didn't even flinch when I asked if he'd put a zipper on my 5xl Jiberish.

no, tailors cannot make shirts shorter. especially not level 1 shirts.

seems like a good learning point that things you think about, and the way things are are sometimes different.
