Thanks A Tailor
It might be useful to link to your helpful tutorial for those here who might have similar forward shoulder problems:

It was the jacket at issue here that gave rise to the question to which you wrote that post.
A few final questions
1. Were I to go back to the makers (Suit Supply), could the adjustment for the uncofrmotable forward shoulder be addressed by bringing them your diagram from the above post?
The idea is that when they sew the for the new garment, they do the shift you recommend as the garment is being assembled?
2. Cutting a wider arm hole, front to back, is not the way to do it.
3. How to know how much to shift as per your tutorial?
4. The remedy seems complicated enough that it should be only done by a skilled tailor who has done many of these before? It is among the more complicated alterations?
Hi, I am aware that the pictures are not taken 10-12 feet away by someone else, but I would very much like some feedback on the shirt fit if at all possible. (I have none to take pictures for me right now, and I need to get some orders away within this weekend if possible)
I have gotten shirts from Daveshirt for a few years, and only recently taken an interest in proper fit. I would like to get your input on changes I should make.
From what I can see I seem to have an excess amount of fabric in the lower back and I hope there is something I can do with the wrinkles on the arms. (this shirt has been dry cleaned several times, fresh of the hangar in these pictures). I also feel like its slightly too wide in the shoulders
so to sum up
- 0.5 inches on the shoulders
- 0,5 inch on sleeve length (?)
- 1 inch waist
Any other input? Am I totally wrong?
Hi, I need some help:( I need to send the suit back and get it remade based off the current fitting. Can you provide some some guidance as to what I need to get them to fix it?
Suit Jacket: Shoulders +.25", Chest -2", Waist/Midsection -1", Jacket Length +0.75", Sleeve Length 1.25"
Suit Pants: I'm confused about this one, as it feels really tight. I'm thinking, Waist +0.5", Hips +0.5", Crotch +0.25"
As far as the shirt itself goes, I really recommend not wearing it.
The 'points' look way too pronounced, and way too long.
The proportions are entirely off. It's just too long in the front. Because of the long length measurement, it was made with narrower (closer together) points (which was either wrong on your tailor's end or the factory end...but it was measured or cut too long), The length should obviously be shorter with the points spread a bit further apart to be proportionate to your build. Look at the bottom button...It shouldn't be buttoned for style reasons but it doesn't look like it actually can be functionally buttoned without throwing drags all over the place. Poor tailoring.
If the waistcoat were shorter...especially in the foreparts from the outter edge of the shoulder line...and a little more room given in the chest area...the gaping away from the body at the lower part and the tightness at the chest would go away. The waistcoat should flatter not expose. Regardless of all of this, the fact that the bottom button isn't actually functional is a major sign of poor tailoring. The only solution, imho, is a total remake.
Fitting issues happen to the best m2m programs but poor tailoring resulting in stuff like that? That's a sign to avoid that factory...
I'm an alterations tailor with m2m in house and I've seen my share of unfortunate mistakes that I've had to fix and eat...but nothing like that.
