Help! Got suit tailored and now...

icurve · Apr 18, 2010

Help! Need your honest opinions as I need to bring this to the tailor to get fixed again (at least that's what I'm thinking now...) The proportions seem off, but I can't put my finger on what it is exactly. What are your thoughts? Adjustments at the tailor were: -Take in shoulders -Take in waist -Hem pants I personally think the shoulders were taken in too much (thus my arms bulge out a bit) but I'm not sure if this is normal.

Will the tailor be able to take out the shoulders?

Pictures are a bit shaky, but the sleeves are too long, they definitely must be shortened.

jacket looks too big for you, judging by the shoulders, armholes, sleeve length, etc... I'd take that back.

yeah it looks like a suit that is a bit big on you ...but with shoulders that are too narrow for you.

size down

next time ask for a euro cut suit.

In addition to having the sleeves shortened, you should have them tapered/taken in. Your arms appear to be swimming in them. Otherwise, it seems okay to me.

this suit was far too big in the first place. you should have passed on the alterations.
the shoulders dont look too bad. but they cant be let out anyway.
the chest and blades are far too big yet. but then you only had the shoulders taken in and
not the chest.

and yea, royal is right about the sleeves.

Thissssss!!!!

The pants are baggy as well. Get them cleaned up.

To be honest, you were probably better off sizing down and getting some minor alterations rather than having to go through a ton of trouble to get it to fit ok

your right rtw suits have big armholes and the larger sizes have still larger armholes.

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone...

It seems like:

Shoulder width is fine
Arm holes are too large
Pants are too baggy
Shorten sleeve length and taper arms
Take in jacket body more (?)

So my questions then are:
-Can a tailor fix arm holes easily? I don't know if I can trust this tailor anymore...
-Where should I take in the jacket on the body? Chest? Waist?

I dfisagree. The shoulder is narrow. Look at his arm from the side.

Also I don't know how you can determine clearly his armholes hieght without him taking a pic of him with arms straight out.
Tailor cannot alter an armhole to be any higher.
