East Bay Area Lycra Tailors?

[DRietz]

Any of you folks know of somebody in the Bay Area that can work magic with stretchy materials?

In the event that nobody wants to give up their small Super Sport Zanc jersey, I'd like to at least shorten my medium so it gets rid of the bunching around the stomach.

Yeah, I'm a picky skinny bike racer - I just want to look pro while representing Zanc and co!

How do you propose to handle the rear pockets? Shift them all up so they stay as deep as they are now, or just shorten from the bottom, so they too get shorter?

I just want the front moved up, so theoretically the pockets wouldn't have to move.

Havent the need alter any of my kits but fellow club members on the leaner side have had good experiences with kit alterations, repairs done here:

I was opening this thread with the idea that there are now bespoke lycra tailors making one off cycling clothing. Thank god I was wrong.

I just sent two pair of bibs to Kucharik (http://www.kucharikclothing.com/) to have the chamois replaced -- figured i can get a few more seasons out of two pair of bibs for commuting duty and save my nice capo stuff for the weekends, at half the price of one new pair of bibs, so.

they should be shipping them back to me on wednesday, hopefully have em by friday -- i can tell you how it works out :)
