No that shoulder isn't too large (I take it that you mean too wide)

I cannot go up in size as the mid section of the jacket(s) will be too large.
You would need to try the next size up to accommodate your chest and shoulder and give them more room and comfort. The waist can be taken in - this should not be your primary concern.

Thank you. Very educational. I cannot go up in size as the mid section of the jacket(s) will be too large. I typically do MTM but was hoping against hope :(
Here is an isia i had made. Is the shoulder better?

Maybe a little. . Also jacket too tight. Belt buckle should not show through quarters.

Shoulders too padded, too square.
Overall, jackets fit poorly. Belt buckles
show through the quarters, probably
because the jackets are too small.


There is no padding in the shoulder of this model at all - literally nothing except canvas.

I think you would benefit from MTM like you said as I would move you up one size to lower the armhole and increase the sleevehead but narrow the point to point as those divots are coming from a combination of a slightly extended shoulder and a tight sleevehead. That would push your shoulder into the sleevehead to give it a rounder line while still providing room for comfort of movement.

Maybe no padding, but to be more subjective,
not to my taste. Next two sentences
stand as written.

I think we have covered that what we are doing isn't your taste. You said previously that you don't like a nipped waist. With that said, you will like nothing we do.

10 pages back, comrade made snide remarks about the Eidos jacket being too short for Ian (which it was) and that it should be worn with a kilt, now all these comments about not being a fan of Eidos. It puzzles me why he continues to follow and comment in this thread. :facepalm:

@NickPollica Couple pages back I had a question regarding the field jackets which I have recently purchased from Bloomingdales. Are the field jackets canvassed like the suits are?

Nope - The style is constructed in the same manner as the nearly all military coats I have seen, without canvas or fusible.
