Hello!
I bought a suit for upcoming weddings and I wanted it to double as an interview suit.
So I thought a dark navy suit would fit the bill, and I'll change the shoes and add a fun tie + pocket square combination.
I have a hard time buying suits, I'm a 38 across the shoulders but I'm 5'6 and my waist is 28", inseam is probably 29"..
It cost me €600, I had it taken in roughly 1/2" around the waist, and the same around the midsection.
I had the sleeves slightly shortened.
I had the trousers shortened (they were unfinished).
I think there is too much fabric around the sleeves and that needs to be slimmed down a little.
I think I need a slight bit more taken in around the chest.
To have the trousers taken in slightly and to get rid of the full break and go with a quarter or half break as I'm a shortish guy at 5'6.
Edit - How much would all that cost me? I only picked up the suit yesterday and I was rushing so I didn't check the fit out fully.
What do you think?
