Background: Bought a suit for a wedding a month ago (Joseph Abboud 2b sidevents if it matters). Ok it was the first suit I ever bought, but I caught the bug. Always wanted to have suits in the wardrobe and I'm hooked and it's time.
Ok, so I went to a tailor here in San Fran that was recommended by my Uncle (only because it's where he's taken his suits, not cuz it's THE place to go). I went by myself (which was a mistake) and went with SUPER basic knowledge (pre SF). Hemmed pants, brought in waist of jacket for fit, and had cuffs raised a bit.
Blah blah, the question:
When at the tailor I basically "let him do his thing" in so many words. And he did a little more and it SEEMS the jacket cuffs were narrowed. I already know I'm gonna be flamed for not knowing all my homework, but hey I had my cherry popped and got taken advantage of--lesson learned.
My question is, and yes I searched the forum about cuffs and want to ask:
When wearing the jacket w/ barrell cuffs, feels fine. When wearing w/ french cuffs, the jacket gets "stuffed" and sleeves don't fall back down--I almost have to sort of "reset" the cuffs when wearing french cuff shirts. Is this a common problem when wearing those cuffs? I want to stay away from FCs most of the time anyway, but when I want to wear em w/ this jacket, it might feel a little uncomfortable/insecure.
Are pics necessary?
Thanks so much in advance, I love this forum!!!!
