I have been to a taylor today. I had a good timing, there was no other customer there. He was quite the professional, but then was pretty curious, when I showed him the inside sleeves, so he asked, what it was. I told him it was a sleeping bag for two people, one inside, and one outside who would take care of the bagged one. I think, he got the idea.
The inside sleeves are the main trouble in changing the shoulder width, they have to be taken off first, then sewn back in afterwards. This will cost 50 Euros. It will be finished this weekend.
No matter the outome, I really recommend you to visit your local (or next city's, if you are living in a village) taylor, if you need any changes to your special stuff. Considering, that he might be embarassed (and taking care that the shock won't be too hard) might even save you some embarassment on your side. In my case, I didn't feel embarrassed at all and he was so professional about it, that I can't tell, what was going on inside him.
I was very gentle though. First, he saw a glossy sleeping bag which was unusually narrow. Then I told him about the "inside bags". When it turned out, that he had to know the purpose of these bags (for the final re-design of the shoulders), I told him, that the arms would go there. He then realised, that it wouldn't be possible to use this bag alone to sleep in the woods, and so I told him, that it was for partner play in bed. Not sure, what would have happened if I had initially said "this is a bondage toy and it is too wide, I don't feel restrained enough".
