for only an inch or so of length, was the time you spent really worth it?

Dude you added one inch...did that really solve you're shortness problem? If so, I don't think you really had a problem to begin with.

I actually added 3 inches (8 cm). Almost the lengt of the original XLT size. I planned on bying fabric in the same colour as the jackets, but it was realy hard to find. I got 1 inch by just laying down the bottom of the jacket. you can see it hereClick for larger image

I bought it at a store where they had lots of different fabrics. It probably a wont help giving you the name of the store, because i live in Norway. But I didnt have any problem finding it. I guess you could find a similar store near you.

Good luck :D
