It will be 3 weeks this time. I will updateAs well they should. Standard 1-month wait on it I would guess?
I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Afraid this doesn't fit well.
One of the easiest ways to tell if a suit fits is to look for puckering, pulling, or unsightly wrinkles. This isn't the only dimension for how a suit should fit, but it's the easiest one to spot when you're just learning about tailored clothing. A suit should fit cleanly, as you see here.

Your suit has a few problem areas. The first is the upper sleeves, which are too tight for your arms. You can also see divots in the upper part of the sleevehead, suggesting that the back of the coat is too slim for your frame. Additionally, the trousers are too slim (see hem). And the pants are collapsing at the back.

You can see this more clearly if you lighten up this photo. See the folds under your seat. This is often caused by a long back rise.

The fullness around your chest is also odd. In tailoring, there is something called a drape cut, which sort of looks like this, but much better. This is not a drape cut, but just a poorly cut chest on a coat that has seemingly been hacked around in other areas. It makes the proportions look off.

This company doesn't seem to be very good, and people who are reading this thread should just avoid them. As a matter of personal preference, I also think the gorge on your suit is too high (the gorge is the line that connects the collar to the lapel). This is causing the peaks to sit very high on your body. Although this might be an effect of camera angle.
The best way to train your eye for this stuff is to just look at more photos of classic tailoring. You don't really need to know the technicalities of how tailoring works -- just more familiarity with how tailoring can look. Voxsartoria has a good archive of photos

Update:
they will not do a refund for the whole suit, only for the blazer-pending an additional cost of 300UDS for tax and handling on the return.
To sum up, it was a big disappointment and bad experience, I would be avoiding MTM and especially Lanieri from now on.
thank you for the educated advice from the forum members.
