Good afternoon gentlemen,
I recently purchased a suit online from one of our affiliates. The measurements seemed to be a perfect fit for me on the website and I was tired of looking for a solid navy canvassed suit for under a certain pricepoint. Below I'll post a few pics detailing what is a strange fitment issue. I have sent an email to the vendor to get his input as to whether or not I should exchange the suit or simply bring it to a tailor to rectify. Looking for honest and helpful feedback.
As you can see there is a LOT of shirt collar showing above the jacket collar, as well as a bunching of jacket material a few inches down from the collar. I'm no suiting expert but it seems like an issue to do with the way the collar is attached to the jacket body or perhaps a collar/gorge issue as the front lapels seem a bit too wide to touch the collarpoints of a standard (Charles Tyrwhitt) medium spread collar.
For now I am going to withhold the suitmaker's identification as I have faith he will be getting back to me shortly to weigh in on what the issue is and as such I'd like to keep things objective and not allow a name to interfere with the critique.
On to the pics:
Send it back or Tailor it?
