I just bought myself the coolest stuff at the army surplus: an shearling (I think?) aviator cap and a swedish army coat/jacket. Both look very cool, the only problem is that the sleeves of the coat are extremely wide - otherwise, it fits perfectly. Is it very hard to slim sleeves? can I attempt to do it myself or should I take it to a professionnal?
note: I have successfully turned flares into skinny jeans in the past, but I have never worked with the thick wool material this coat is made of. I have access to a very basic sewing machine and can also do an ok handstitch (it isn't pretty, but it holds). advice?
