Ongoing Bespoke Projects
That doesn’t look like the cloth is the issue but rather the interlining. Could be the flannel pilling and coming through the open weave of the fresco. Should have been made without flannel or at least with a black or blue flannel instead of white- ericjens7

I am with Chris on this too. Adding the cotton pocketing cut on the bias does nothing to add or take away from the lapel roll. In fact, I as well as my Maestro in Italy only add the cotton when dealing with lighter weight cloth. This only gives the lapel a bit more strength that it would not...- ericjens7

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Looks like the back balance is long. You stand more erect than the coat is cut, thus creating the folds and bunching at your small of back. This excess needs to be taken out at the shoulders and requires very expert and expensive tailoring. My best advice is to return and find a new coat cut...- ericjens7

It’s not the hand padding that ensures the lack of a gap. In fact it has little to do with it. I was talking about when the collar is attached to the coat itself. There are reasons beyond the hand padding and the putting on of the collar that can attribute to a gap. Mostly regarding the cut of...- ericjens7

This can be the case with a collar that is machined rather than hand placed. When attaching a collar by hand the maker has control over where the fullness is applied. This is important as it “snugs” the collar up to the neck. A machine does not provide the operator to have said control.- ericjens7

1701 Bespoke Review? (Detroit)
My comment is in reference to the name which carries the word bespoke and the finished garment. A bespoke tailor should have adjusted for the gentleman’s low right at the very least. Sleeve pitch is off, back is long and judging by the photos I would assume that with wear the collar starts to...- ericjens7

If it’s really bespoke then they did a poor job of fitting you.- ericjens7

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
These are a mess and should be returned or demand a remake. I can't believe someone let you leave the store with those. An easy fix would be digging out the seat. That should have been done upone pick up. Other than that you seem to have a low left hip that needed to be addressed on the...- ericjens7

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
There is no way this is proper Bespoke from a tailor. It's a mess and you should honestly ask for your money back. The trousers were not cut for you forward hips. The jacket is too tight all over. Your pronounced blades were not accounted for. The back might be short but it's hard to tell...- ericjens7

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
@IssaBoulos The pants are a mess and would need significant improvements done on the cutting table. The jacket is a bit of a mess too. You have sloped shoulders that were not accounted for. And a low right. You have pronounced blades and it looks like the fronts are long and the back is short...- ericjens7

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
The fact that there is fusing on the lapel is a bad sign and in my opinion shows laziness on the part of the tailor. As far as the lapel width goes it cannot be and will not be made any larger. However there seems to be a notch more near the center of the lapel which maybe where the tailor...- ericjens7
