Critique the fit of my jacket.

HappymaN · Apr 15, 2007

This is a cross-post from AAAC, sorry for that.

Am considering having a blazer made at the end of the year. Considering 2-B, notch-lapel, high gorge, dual vents.

This is me in one of my current suit jackets. Any opinions on what I might what different for the next one? Obviously in this jacket, the sleeves are too long, but any other obvious fit issues? I am considering having the waist suppressed a little more so.

Looks pretty good. A full length picture would be better because it is hard to tell the length in relation to your legs. The jacket looks short but maybe you like it like that. Also I wouldn't do anymore waist suppression. It looks great like that. If you go with anymore you may begin to look pretty feminine.

I prefer to show more shirtcuff, and make the blazercuffs slimmer so it doesn't look baggy.
But I think it looks good on you with that waist supression!

HappymaN · Apr 15, 2007

Yeah, the jacket is a little on the shorter side, but I prefer it that way, as it makes me look taller I think.

I will post a full-length photograph and see what you guys think.

Really like the waist suppression. On the next one, I, personally, would opt for a lower buttoning point and more open quarters.

Shorten sleeves just a touch 1/4" maybe. Lower button stance by an inch or so. Other than that, perfect.

Shorten sleeves, they are a touch on the long side.

I agree with previous posters on the sleeves being a tad too long.

I also think the button stance is too high. I'd probably lower it one inch. Also, I'd open the quarters just a bit.

Sleeves are also un-even. (Or your arms are not the same lenght which means that you should adjust the sleeves to your arm lenghts...)

I like the button stance, but then again I am a 2B hater...

The button stance looks fine. Although it is common, the rounding of the sleeves isn't ideal. Maybe it's the pose, maybe it is elbow rotation.... If you go ahead with it, a bespoke jacket should create the ideal.
