Hi Styleforum

So i was wondering if you guys could help me and my friend out with a little problem with our newly bought MTM blazers. First of all i want you to know that we know very well how bad they look. We would very much appreciate it if you could help us point out everything that is wrong with the blazers, so that we could point it out to the tailor who made them.

If this is the wrong forum to post in we're sorry. Thanks for your help in advance.



Greetings THenry

It looks like you got measured for that, worked out only your shoulders, back and chest for a year, then picked it up. Was this an online MTM?

What's wrong with them? Literally everything. Upper looks too big, waist looks too tapered. Collar looks odd. Armholes look super low.

..Everything.

Seriously, shoulders are too wide, the waist is too narrow the darts are too deep. The neck is too wide, the body is too short.

Literally the only thing that isn't screwed up is the fact its made from cloth rather than wood. Most of these things aren't fixable unless there is a huge amount inside the seams. If it were me I'd demand a refund then set fire to his shop, but I've been known to take things too far.

So horrible that at first I assumed the photos were Photoshopped to look as bad as possible.

Sleeve length looks slightly long, easy fix.
