This bespoke is more real than others?

There are so many tailors and firms that use the term "bespoke" but, in actuality, are MTM. That is what I meant. To clarify, I've changed the headliner.

The waist suppression in this jacket is almost womanswear-like. Not a bad look if you are into teh ****, but my preferences go to the more classic fits.

Edit - his shoulders are already a bit narrow in proportion to his head, and the waist suppression exacerbates this problem.

The jacket looks comical to me.

I like alot of waist supression but that guy has no shoulders - his hips a wider than his shoulders - just like a woman. It looks silly!

He would benefit from a built up shoulder that is extended out

A bit more shoulder extension with less slope, a bit more chest padding with less flaring of skirt--these would be advantageous. Also, the jacket sleeves are too short.

It looks much too short, but I think that might partly be because his arms are really long. Another inch should help. The suit makes his head look really big.

It's a ladies jacket. His wife needs to take it back.

Regards.
