A-Man Suit Fit Pics

lichmd · May 22, 2009

Posting a couple of fit pics from my first A-Man suit.
Suit is my A Man glenplaid 9oz, I requested 2 button, double vent, fully lined, surgeon's cuffs, pick stitched jacket. The pants are flat front, uncuffed, beltless with side buckles.
I wore this to a meeting the other day and received some very nice compliments.
I've noticed a couple of details while reviewing these pics, but I'll reserve them for discussion after you all get a chance to review.

Shirt is from Carl, tie from Sam Hober, shoes are from Mayer HK.
Cheers,
J

arms need to be more tapered

upper arms look funny from the behind photo

also, you need higher armholes - did you ask for them???

higher armholes matter a lot to the overall fit and balance of any suit

Quite nice from the front, but the back seems... odd?

I steamed the back of the jacket and took another pic.

I suppose I'd like to see more open quarters, but that's more a matter of personal preference.

The left sleeve is longer than the right or vice versa however you want to look at it.

Yes thats the first thing I noticed, I would go for the option of having them shortened by perhaps half an inch as well or maybe an Inch!

If you're talking about the side pic looking at the buckle, what looks like a pleat is actually the pocket.

Overall, this is pretty good. The front quarters are too closed too my taste, but it is a static shot and might look very good in motion (I think closed quarters actually look better in motion than an open front).
I don't like the shoulder line - something seems to be off as the extension is not consistent. Also, the sleeves are not set properly for how you hold yourself in the picture. Either they or your pose is off.
The overall shaping in the back is very good; some messiness shows but it isn't that much and may only be a result of the still pose. Based on this, you should definitely stick with them and see if yoy can do a bit better. The only think you should really fix on this is the shoulder line, and the sleeve pitch if it is really off.

Half canvas is fine
