Anybody know a reputable shop in or around Raleigh, NC that will do motorcycle jacket alterations?  I've got a 3-4 year old Tourmaster Cortech 3/4 length jacket given to me.  It's in perfect condition except it's too big for me.  It's a an XL and I need a L.  If it's not cost prohibitive I'd like to get it altered rather than get a new cold weather jacket.  I'm considering an Alter Ego jacket on Ebay but this may be a better option.  I'll start calling around today, just curious if anybody has had any Thumbsup experiences.

I guess nobody has had alterations done Razz.  I'll answer my own post if anybody is looking later on - I went to Duke's Tailor off Creedmoor Road here in Raleigh.  They just had a name change to Lili's Tailors.  It's a family operation run by a sweet old Asian lady by the name of Tracy (didn't meet Lili or Duke for that matter).  For a reasonable sum of $39 she shortened the arms and reduced the chest of the jacket.  It fits a lot better now; I don't feel like I'm wearing a space suit anymore.  She double-stitched everything where she had cut, it looks totally original.  I think if I need any other alterations done I'll go there first.
