Need suggestions for new suits by two MTM companies

Hi all

I first posted this in The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions but unfortunately, no answers so far. (If you think I should wait some more, let me know and I'll delete this thread.)

I have two suits made by different MTM outfits and want to order new suits and I'm looking for suggestions what could be improved.

Thank you for your input. Oh, and sorry for the absence of shoes, tie and the odd colour of my head.

Suit #2 needs a longer jacket as well, but it seems like that's the look you are going for. Both suits need smaller/shorter shoulders, and something weird is going on with suit #1 in the chest / near your pits. I think overall #2 looks MUCH better, but I dislike the buttoning on it, it seems too high and awkward. I think the shoulder padding on both is much too extreme, looks .... cheap or poorly made. In regards to pants, I think they look very good overall, but I cant tell about the length since you aren't wearing any shoes. What MTM companies did you use for each?

Agree with #1 being a bit too short. I think the length of #2 is good. I really have very long legs so at least it's honest.

I also think the 2 buttons on #2 don't work.

Companies were Mangas München for #1 and Fiero Salzburg for #2.

Yes, I'll try to take care of the sleeves again. What should I do about the lapels of #2? Would moving the button down help?

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it.

Somewhere between München and Salzburg. Budget might be 1 K or so. Any recommendations for Germany?

the brown is either tight across the chest or the front shoulder angle is too crooked. your tailor needs to check that.

Yes, the legs on the brown suit are a bit narrower, 20 cm across vs. 22 cm for the blue suit. I found the legs to flap around a bit with the blue suit.

Would you say I should go with a 3 button suit?

I don't know if my arms are too long but I'm thin and I have really long legs.

I'm trying to come up with a list of things I want to change compared to the first suit. What I have is

• Slightly narrower shoulders and maybe a bit smaller around the chest?
• Better sleeve length.
• Longer jacket.

Any other suggestions? I might visit them next week.
