I went ahead with this order, and finally had a chance to try on the suit. I am not happy with several aspects of the fit. I posted a gallery here -

What do you all think?


First of all, put your damn arms down. Total noob move there.
Looks a bit tight across the shoulder blades as indicated by the dimples, and that’s some serious waist suppression you go going on.

I was trying to show that the arm hole is too low, it looks like I have wings. Also the way the chest moves as my arms rise is far from ideal.

Dear Daneel: have just responded now to your email of late last night. Would like to see you in the suit in person and discuss next steps.

Honestly just looks like you need to let out the center back seam and maybe reduce the waist suppression a bit.

I have an unusual shape. Thick chest, huge arms, but narrow sloping shoulders. Would a trial suit fit work for me? I know it won’t fit well. No OTR suits work well

Give an email to [email protected] to discuss with Aaron or Zach. I am sure they can help get you some answers on what we might be able to do for you.

I know that wasn't meant to be funny but it was. Might make this my new signature.
