I intended to take delivery of a new bespoke suit this morning. The coat was an inch longer in length than asked (total length is probly 1/4 inch past my thumbs). I said "shorter" several times during fittings, etc. Somehow, it was longer than it was in the last fitting, when I once again said shorter.
The suit actually looked good in the shop, but it doesnt feel right, and it certainly is not what I asked for. I told the tailor I was not happy, and he conceded the length was not close to what I asked. They are fixing one little issue and supposed to drop it off later today.
What are my options? In my opinion, shaving an inch (at least) off the bottom will probably throw the balance way off, and I will end up with a suit that has an 80's style button point and pockets that look off. Should I try shaving it down?
Should I just refuse delivery and insist on a new coat?
