I've had MTM and RTW jackets end up a disaster after poor tailoring. Take it back. Don't let them talk you into trying to fix it. If you paid by credit card you can refuse to pay due to poor quality. You are in the drivers seat on this one.Originally Posted by pocketsquareguy

Incidentally, did anyone else think this TF was reminiscent of WW Chan HK?Originally Posted by yfyf
The sleeve dimple is because the shape of the sleeve cap is too long and narrow for you. The shoulder is also narrow; you would have been better to go up a size and bring the waist down. That kind of thing can occasionally be fixed, but don't keep your hopes up- the cap should be widened but there is no inlay for that, the only thing that can be done is to shorten the cap but you will have to lose the rope (what little is there). the blurry photo you posted was a rope shoulder.Originally Posted by jefferyd
if they are willing to give me a size up and then bring in the waist, you think that would be better?Originally Posted by AvariceBespoke
Since this suit has been altered, it is very unlikely that they will take it back and give you a different one; if, for some reason, you manage to convince them, follow the SF mantra- get a jacket that fits you through the shoulders and fiddle with the rest, buy a trouser for the seat and fiddle with the rest. Besides, to create the tapered look that I think you are looking for, it is best to start with a broad shoulder, then the appearance of a tapered waist is greater, even if your actual waist does not allow for a lot of shape.Originally Posted by jefferyd

I always wondered if you couldn't easily end up with a jacket that is too long this way. And the length of a jacket can only be corrected to a certain degree....Originally Posted by Chouse
The jacket length typically grades 1/4" per two sizes, i.e. from 40 to 42 so it's not a big deal. Better than poorly-fitting shoulders, which will gain 1/2" in width from point to point, 1/2" across the back and about 3/8" in the sleeve cap, all of which would have made a huge difference in the fit of this suit.Originally Posted by jefferyd

I wouldn't normally suggest this, but if they won't/can't help you and you have just dropped several G on your suit which is unwearable as is, I would have them contact the factory and see if they have a length of fabric left, which is quite likely. Charcoal is easier to match than black or navy so even if it is not off the same roll you may be fine. You could then have a new pair of sleeves recut; not cheap but it beats junking the suit. Just be a little more careful in choosing the tailor who will do it for you.Originally Posted by jefferyd
