Spier & Mackay Linen jacket placket curling oddly?
Hello. I have this linen field jacket from Spier Mackay (bought last year). It developed this pronounced 'curling' on the placket on both sides soon after I started wearing it. I have the waist draw string pulled slightly for a little waist supression but I dont think that's the cause. I've...- whitefisk

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Hello Pair of pants from MyTailor. One of my last pairs were a little tight through the front (I have large thighs) so I had some extra room added to keep the pleats from pulling open on this pair - however it looks like I've got too much room in the hips and thigh, giving me kind of a rounded...- whitefisk

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
hmmm, could i get a second opinion? i would have said i need to shorten the rise in the pants and pull them up from the waistband in the back so they hang off my waist and not just collapse around my thighs/calves. the jacket fabric collapses in between my shoulder blades in the upper back and...- whitefisk

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Quick question: Is it possible to alter a jacket to open the quarters more? I believe this is typically a balance issue, thus the front must be lengthened - take apart the jacket at the seam across the top of the shoulder and resew the fronts a bit lower? This sounds both high-risk and...- whitefisk

Gents Take 2 of a MTM attempt. The main thing to fix is the trouser rise, when i sit down there is loads of excess material in my lap and the crotch doesnt need to be as low as it is.
