    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Quote: Thanks for the quick reply Despos. Just had a look inside and it does seem she tapered it on the inseam. I felt around underneath the white cloth and it seems the original sleeve is still there - as if she just cut the sleeve, folded it in and sewed. I guess I still might have some...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone could quickly help me solve this small problem. Bought a new suit and the sleeves and cuffs were a little too wide for my liking so I had a tailor reduce the width using one of my better suit as guide. Realised after I came home that there's a lot of...

    Quick question: got a new MTM, everything is perfect, just that jacket waist is slightly too tapered. Is it possible to let out the waist of a pinstripe jacket? I'm asking as I was thinking if it would ruin the pattern of the vertical stripes where the materials will be added? (Unless that's not...

    Max of around $300. Looking for a long term good pair of shoes that I can wear in Boston during winter & back in Australia. Definitely in the US cause it's much cheaper. Everything are too damn expensive down here.

    Hey guys! Can you guys please recommend me some winter boots for Boston? I'm an exchange student from Australia heading to Boston from January - June, and Sydney's winter is no where as cold (don't even snow) as Boston so I have no clue what kind of boots I'll need. Just looking for...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

     Thanks for the reply! I'm getting a remake and they suggested shaving 1" off my shoulder measurement to probably fix it but I think it's too much? Here's a complete view of my suit, please suggest other changes if you see fit...

    Ordered a MTM suit from Black Lapel and there seems to be a collar gap that's extremely visible. I've included pictures compared to another one of my suit for comparison. http://f.cl.ly/items/3o3k2K1q2O0v3B2f2g2Z/Collar%20Gap.jpg Should I ask for a remake? Is it possible to bring it to the...

    If I get my suit waist taken in by 0.5-1 inches, would it make the suit hip width smaller (the bottom part of the suit)? Or does it depend on how the tailor cuts it?

    BlackLapel.com - any experience with them?

    Just wondering, what kind of shoulder did you pick for your measurement as I ordered a Black Lapel suit and it was a roped shoulder and I much prefer your natural shoulder padding which doesn't stick out as much...

    Can someone please advice me as to what to inform the tailor (just want to go in with some knowledge and communicate my opinion) if I wish to alter my pants (bottom pic) to be almost like the top one as, to me, the top one is good fit for my body (approx. 163cm - 5'3) and style is nice (as I...
