    Maybe Anto Ryan's. Have got them to sort out trousers before -- usually a €10 job. Don't know if you're looking for bigger alterations though.

    I've got a pair of jeans that need shortening, and the tricky job is a pinstripe jacket that needs the body taking in.

    There's a shop on Eyre street, on the corner across the hole in the wall.

    Yeah, I've used these too for shortening jeans, they do a great job, somehow keeping the original stitching on the hem. About €15 per pair.

    does anyone know a good place to get minor alterations made to a leather jacket?

    The sleeves are slightly too long

    I think that most of the places listed should be able to do it for you.

    Do you have any idea what the cost might be?

    It's a long walk to town for me, so knowing a rough price would be useful.
