    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    thats what i thoguht too.. letting out the center seam would help with teh side divots.. but i know nothing of tailoring. it probably wouldn't do much about the divots on top of the shoulders though huh? i believe i told the tailor i want something of an "athletic cut" suit. whatever that...

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    Oh come on.... "All are no good for suiting. Better to chip in more". i'm not going to go by one person's recommendation on a suit. Everybody knows you go to them if you want to spend that money. But i didnt want to spend 1300$ nor did i have a week. 600$ should be able to get you...

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    Again, this was NOT a TST hassle shop. it's a semi reputable shop Baron Kay in Hong Kong. if you search on styleforum severla members had quite good experiences with them. And i was in HK for a total of 3.5 full days. What happened was : Day 1: measurement. i chose a ROyal blue fabric...

    What do you mean by prominent backside? Just my butt? Or my overall back? what do i need to tell the tailor next time to make sure he does the backside right?

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    the problem is i only want 1 good looking suit, since the only reasons i wear it are for business or celebrations where it should look proper. i don't wear blazers for going out or everyday wear whatsoever.

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    Thanks for the comments. i agree that it would be better if he took a shot at remaking the jacket. MY problem is...i am not in Hong Kong. I would ship the jacket to him and he would have to recreate the jacket based on the existing jacket and those pictures. Do you think having the existing...

    Regarding jacket length. most of you have said that the jacket is too short. i would agree since it doesnt seem to cover my big arse. I do see a lot of shorter jackets ( such as the ones below ) They fall to around the first knuckle of the hand. that's what i was using to gauge jacket...

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    i'm attaching a bunch more pictures and i'm going to ask the tailor to fix the issues with the jacket. If could use help in explaining the issues with the jacket to the tailor and what i want him to fix.

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    This is actually from a semi-reputable tailor. Baron Kay of Hong Kong. Definitely no Gordon Yao or WW Chan by any means, but several styleforum members have said he made a pretty good suit. How much more to ask for on the suit length? 1" ?? What exactly do you mean by cleaning up the...

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    Thanks for all the feedback. I really only wear a suit 5 or 6 times a year to weddings and other work celebrations, but was hoping that this one would be the one. i'm learning more and more with each suit, unfortunately in a year or two i'll probably get another one. ( i had mtm suit made in...

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    I agree with most of it. they were probalby too aggressive on the tightness of the jacket, trying to make it more fashionable. I also don't like the bunching in the lower back and the way the jacket falls on my butt ( i have a large butt ) . One positive is that i don't usually button the...

    Critiqu my 600$ MTM hong kong suit

    The major problem i see is in the fit of the shoulders. some of the pics don't show how bad the situation is, but it's really bad the divots in the top of the shoulder. i like the rest of the suit, but the divots really just ruin it. i'm wondering if taking the padding out may help? it's a...

    HK suits : baron kay / william cheng / jantzens

    so i've narrowed my choices down to basically 3... Which to pick for a suit? Baron Kay ~ 650$ us Jantzens ~ 500$ us William Cheng ~ only 350$ us? i've heard a few good things about William Cheng - but at 350$ i'm worried you get whta you pay for. Jantzens is known for their shirts, and if...
