A few months ago, I got my firt 3-piece suit from a MTM outfit.
The process was pretty difficult. Granted, the MTM maker was satisfactory in general: nice fabrics, nice detailing, affordable price. The sellers were not very knowledgeable or helpful, though, and I had to have quite a few changes made before I could consider the result wearable.
This is what I got. My apologies for the poor quality of the photos, who were taken using a phone at the end of a long day at work:
As I said, this suit is wearable and certainly nice enough, given the price, to wear at the office. But over the months, I noticed quite a few problems. I am considering ordering one or two more suits from the same outfit, including a comparable 3-piece affair, and I am wondering about the changes I should request to get a better fit. I have to bear in mind that this is a low-end MTM, of course, so some changes might be difficult to get.
So far, this is what I will ask them to change in the new suit:
- longer vest (by about 2 inches)
- lower buttoning point on the coat (about 2 inches)
- lower buttoning point on the vest (slightly more than 2 inches)
I might be missing some problems. There is too much pulling in the front, for example, and I am not sure that the lower buttoning point on the new suit will be enough to correct that.
What say you?
