But whose paying for the alterations to fit?

What the article doesn't say is how long the grant was observed. Does King Felipe still hand down his September suit?

[Keraunos]

Royal hand-me-downs would not have been exempt from the standard problem with such things, fit! 

[Erpingham]

In the Middle Ages and early Renaissance, retailoring clothes was not uncommon, especially when the original fabrics were expensive/exclusive.  I doubt the royals would expect the recipients to keep these gifts as precious relics.

Very useful for winters up north.....
