| This will probably not get a lot of responses but I thought I’d try. DS wants to get his long-sleeve GK jersey altered so that it has short-sleeves. I’ve never heard of this but another GK told him that he had this done. Does anybody know of a place in Montgomery County or NW DC? The friend who suggested it lives far away so it’s not an option to use the same tailor. |

| Gotta be a pretty simple cut and hem from most dry cleaners who do alterations. |

| Seems like somebody’s grandma could knock that out in a few days. |

Why would he want his arms exposed as a GK? Lots of landing/scraping on hard ground - wouldn't he want some protection? |

| Long sleeves are definitely better to protect against turf burn. |

It would make sense to me to wear long sleeves but for the last few years he only wants short sleeve. He says it’s more comfortable. It also appears to be a popular option among his GK circle. Even many pros now wear short sleeves. If it’s really cold then he wears UA underneath. |

| It gets hot on turf fields. The elbows are the only part of the arm that remotely needs any protection. My keeper prefers short sleeves during the hotter months. |
