I received a trial suit from Kent Wang a little while ago, and while I'm waiting for the suggested changes from the folks over there, figured I would post here so the guys here who have experience can help with the necesary changes.
I have some slight lapel bowing, arms need lengthening, buttoning point lowered and rise in trousers raised. I also think the trousers might be a little tight. Also, the back picture is terrible, I guess I was standing oddly.
First and foremost, Aaron is a gentleman and knows his stuff. So I definitely recommend seeing him in person if possible. Now to answer your questions, if you think 4" is perfect, I'd say go with 4.25". Visually, there's a bigger difference going from 4" to 3.5" than from 4" to 4.25".Hello gentlemen,
I am a long-time lurker and somewhat inexperienced in the MTM world. I have one MTM suit that was made locally, which I like, but has its flaws and I'm a little hesitant to return (also, their price has gone up substantially since my last visit).
So, my plan is to try KW MTM for my first blazer. I was initially going to do it thru the mail, but found cheap tickets to NYC and will have the pleasure of being fitted by Aaron this coming Saturday, June 3rd. I am leaning towards a blue hopsack as this will be my first and only blazer for a while.
But, I would appreciate any advice from those that have gone this route.
I have a couple of questions:
My MTM suit has a lapel width just shy of 4" and I think it is pretty much perfect. KW only offers 3.5" and 4.25". Any advice on which to use? I can post pics of my suit jacket since I feel like that might be most helpful.
Also, for those that have use the spalla camitia shoulders, how did it turn out? I haven't seen any up-close pics and a am a little hesitant to add that detail to the jacket. I would def like it to have that casual feel since I won't be wearing it for anything formal or professional.
Also, with regards to the gorge height, has everyone who has ordered used the standard instead of high? I am just curious since a lot of the pics don't have details about this, and a high gorge used to be the KW standard.
Thanks in advance!

Maybe its the same lapel size, just measured in the normal way? (rather than perpendicular)
I would not recommend the spalla camicia shoulders as it probably differs from what you imagine it to be. Here's a recent example.Hello gentlemen,
