    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I visited a local Suitsupply and got fitted in a Napoli 36S. It felt fine in store, but now that it's home I can't help but feel I got sized too small. The jacket feels restrictive in the shoulders/upper chest. Did I make mistake buying this size?

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Lol, I'm not sure. The rep didn't measure my body or anything, he just gave me a size 34 and went with it since he thought the shoulders and length looked good. He didn't seem to notice the chest breaking or how restrictive it was. I've tried the 36 jacket but found that it was too snug around...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hello, Back with another Suitsupply fit check (hopefully the last one!). Does this size 38S Lazio with size 30 pants fit okay, or should I size down? Mostly curious because when I went in for a custom fitting, the rep tried to size me in a size 32/34 jacket and 28/30 pants with few adjustments...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thanks for the detailed assessment! Do you think they Suitsupply can correct the shoulder blade tension with their MTM options? There's an option to adjust the "Back" measurement, which they define as 6in down from the top of the center seam. By increase the crotch, I think they mean letting...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thoughts on how this suit fits? It's the Suitsupply Napoli 38S. I was interested in their MTM program and figured I could use this as the starting point for the measurements. However, I don't think this one fits too badly. Should I just alter this or should I go ahead with the MTM suit? If I do...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hi all, Thoughts on the fit of this jacket? It's the Spier and Mackay 38S contemporary fit. There is a bit of tightness and lapel gape around the upper chest, but is it not noticeable enough that I can just roll with this jacket?

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Just got an MTM jacket, and I'm probably going to ask for a remake. Any tips on what adjustments I should ask for? I know the waist is too tight, but I'm not sure how to fix the back. Plus I feel a lot of tightness around my shoulders and upper back.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I have pretty similar fit issues. I think you can get both adjusted, but fixing the extra fabric at the lower back might be problematic.Based on what I've read, it requires shortening the back of the jacket from the top. Read here: EXTREME ERECT ALTERATIONS. It's doable, but time consuming and...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Just got some test-trial pants from Luxire, and I think they're close to fitting well. What are your thoughts? There's a bit of pulling at the front, plus some pocket flare, but what bothers me the most is the wedgie. Reading some of the technical tutorials on this website, I know that the...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hello, I just received my suit from Black Lapel, and I was wondering what y'all think about it. I reached out for their feedback, and they suggested to lengthen the sleeves, take in the waist, and have a tailor fix the collar roll. However, I am concerned regarding the fit in the upper...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thank your this, it was an interesting read. Is there a similar guide for shirts? And based on the roping around my crack, I'm guessing I gotta scoop the seat.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Anyone know why my jeans are giving me a serious wedgie? I'm using these as a template for some Luxire jeans, and I'm not quite sure how to fix that because the hips look fine. Do I ask for them for a full seat adjustment or to scoop the seat?
