Hi everyone. Recently I had to get suit sleeves shortened and when I got the jacket back..they were angled. Is this something new? The issue that occurs now is that the circumference of the bottom of the sleeve is very tight.. can this be adjusted/redone or am I stuck?




Secondly,
The tailor let out the rear a bit however it makes me wonder if the vent looks off now and too flappy?

(Apologies for the quality)

Thanks everyone. Just a little worried!

Sleeve looks fine, but he should be able to widen the cuff a bit. The angle is fine. If he let out the rear of the coat without including the vents, it will have to be redone and possibly the vents will have to be remade.

Thank you. Do the vents look too loose to you?
