Please let me know what you think. Am trying to establish a relationship with this tailor so your comments would really help me perfect my pattern.

Thanks very much guys, and I really appreciate your help!

looks nice.
it seems there may be some issues with the sleeve pitch.
sleeve length could be 0.25-0.5 inch shorter IMO
I'm not liking the hacking pocket.

It's short and this is exaggerated by the rise of the pants leaving inches of shirt showing in the quarters.

 

[GWorthings]

Thanks Hugh and Mario! Yes, I did get the feeling it was a bit short. Do you think it's because the jacket length itself is short or (as I thought), the button stance is a tad too high?

I think more like the button stance is a tad too high.

A little from column A, a little from column B, IMHO. I can't help but feel that this jacket was made for a shorter guy than yourself overall. If you do decide to keep it, I would suggest trying some higher waisted pants to minimize how much shirt is inevitably going to show.

 

[GWorthings]

Yeah, these are my thoughts exactly. The jacket was made by Y William Yu in Hong Kong, and overall, I'm very pleased with it, especially as it is the first attempt. From what I have read on SF, first tries are seldom perfect!

I tried wearing higher trousers, https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/403819_10151072817707354_1908956298_n.jpg , what do you think? Does it still look like it's made for someone shorter?

 

[plei89]

I like it a lot. Who's the maker?

Why no pictures from the back?

It's excellent. Just make sure you wear a nice lightweight Gucci loafer with it and not some heavy wingtip that will make you look like a geeky nerd.

Nor the ticket pocket.

Nor the ticket pocket.

whoops... thx

 

[GWorthings]

Thanks for the feedback guys! Though it seems like the ticket pocket and the hacking pockets are not getting much love here! The jacket was made by Y William Yu in Hong Kong. As I said, for a first try, I am very pleased with the work and will definitely be heading back. It also helps that the guy in charge (Andy) is a very nice and helpful man.

Will post pictures of the back asap.

Looking nice, maybe you can lengthen the jacket a bit then lower the button stance slightly when you lengthen the jacket.

How much is it if you do not mind? Can PM me if you are not comfortable.

 

[GWorthings]

PM'ed! Also, is it actually possible to lower button stance?
