Have you noticed wear and tear on your shirt cuffs? A business shirt has a lifetime of about 35 washes – after that the fibers begin to naturally break down and show fraying, fringe and color loss. The next evidence of age is wear at the elbows. But don’t worry when that happens to your favorite shirt – our alterations staff can turn long sleeves into short. Upcycling older dress shirts gives you a low cost way to add another round of wear.
