Well you didnt need to be a genius with 20-20 vision to spot some faults in the last fitting. Chuong resurfaced last night with version 2 - this time no sleeves, but lined. Shoulder pads removed. This time I even had pants - will wonders never cease. They feel ok but are too long. Coming along I have to say. Shoulders are back somewhere near where they should be, seems to have sorted out the length somewhat (although the front still needs to be rebalanced a little) Borrowed a digital camera, so this time the pics are much much better than last time. Look forward to thoughts and feedback.

Besides needing to pick up the left side a little (an issue you seem to have spotted) it looks pretty solid. Amazing improvement over last time.

Great thread.

To this untrained eye, it looks like it could be taken in just a hair in the waste area. It look a little billowy in the back (although that may just be the vents - my computer monitor at work kind of sucks), and the front could maybe use just a bit more shape around the waste. All in all though, I think it looks great. Psst...he forgot the sleeves
