I have large shoulders and a relatively small waist. The few suits I've worn in the past have always looked boxy and ill-fitted. I am working in the middle east now and suits can be made fairly cheaply. However, the tailors will do whatever you ask them to do, I just don't know what to tell them to fix this suit.
This suit was MTM, I believe. Measurements were taken before the suit was made, a fitting was done, and then the final product was delivered. The shirt is obviously not designed for someone with sloping shoulders, but I'm not too worried about the shirt, I have already ordered a shirt from one of the MTM onilne shirt makers. I'm just concerned with the suit at this time, and primarily just the jacket.
The jacket has a single vent, and now that I've seen it I should have told them to make it with side vents, but maybe that can be fixed on the next one.
My concerns with the jacket are:
The sleeves appear too long, I think I should have them shortened but just need verification.
The waist of the jacket is too big, the tailor says he can't fix this without the vent remaining open all the time
The sleeves dimple near the shoulders, not sure if this can be fixed or not.
Can these issues be fixed by a competent tailor, and is there a way to explain how to fix these issues to someone who doesn't already know?
Any and all advice would be appreciated
Thanks for your time
