I'm just finishing up college, and about to start the job search/interview process. I don't have a suit and am scrimping $ a bit for the time being and figured I'de purchase a used suit and get it altered. However I've never owned a suit and don't really know what I need altered. If I post a picture could I get some feedback?

Yup - this thread is all about feedback.

I'm a sucker for surgeon cuffs so I'm loving the jacket not to mention the fit is great! Links look nice as well.

Alright thanks.


I realize it doesn't look good right now. I'm basically wondering if it's worth getting altered, and what I should get altered or if I should just take it back.

To me it seems the waist area of the jacket is too big. I'm pretty sure it was bespoke and the original owner was kinda pear shaped. I know I need to get the sleeves of the jacket lengthened and there's enough fabric to do that. But I'm more curious about comments on the shoulder, chest, and waist area. Last pic I kinda brought it in a bit to show more what I think it should look like.

And sry for the crappy quality photos

Thanks Geoff! Definitely one of my better purchases recently (quality over quantity and all that). You're the man for a killer deal (the fact that the other other SC went for way lower notwithstanding).

Thanks! I had them custom made in India from sterling silver based on another member's vintage set.

From what I can see, shoulders might be a bit too wide (maybe a half inch on either side). Also, with that much waist suppression, I'd be concerned with the pockets being an inch from the seams on the side. If waist suppression is possible, tailor would smooth it up to the chest, so I think you'll be fine there. Sleeves, yeah probably an 1" longer. Plenty of other experts on here to correct me if I'm wrong .

^^^^ Salume, Osso Buco and Sambuca - makes me hungry, Spoo-meister, though I can't imagine eating osso buco when it's warm out - I always associate it with winter . . .
