I feel like my glute area could use more material, hamstring and quads feel tight cause the fabric sticks to them, crotch area seems either too tight or too much material (horizontal bands)

My first thought is: what does your MTM suit maker think of these photos? Have they told you how they will address these issues? If they don't know how to fix them, I would request a refund and go elsewhere. It should not be up to you to figure out what modifications are needed -- you are not a tailor. Nor should it be up to you to solicit opinions from the internet because, well, they could be incorrect.

The trousers do look tight in the top block. I couldn't tell you exactly what needs to be fixed.

Crotch and quads look too tight. I have an athletic build and most off the rack trousers get strained by the quads, creating pull lines at the hamstrings just like in your photos.

Absolutely take it up with the tailor.

Appreciate the reply. I am definitely going to try to request a refund, hopefully I can. Really disappointed with the final product considering how I heard so much good stuff about it. I've bought other products from this maker and liked them though.

Thanks man. I shot an email out to the maker of the suit. Appreciate your feedback on the fit. I asked for more room to be given in the crotch, seat, and quads, but it wasn't done :/

Hopefully I can get a refund.

I think demanding a refund is a DEFCON 5 move. The tailor should offer to make the necessary adjustments or remake the trousers, free of charge. If he doesn't, then you can go for a refund.

Refunding money on made-to-order garments is something tailors are obviously highly resistant to doing, as the items can't be returned and re-stocked.

Fingers crossed.

And you're right.

They got the jacket wrong too (got 1 button when I requested 2 buttons).

Pretty bummed since I bought this for my wedding and I'm not sure if they can have everything done in time now (3 weeks away)

Alterations can definitely be done in 3 weeks -- remaking the clothes, or if there's shipping back and forth involved, would be tight.
