Rick, I've only purchased one jacket and one suit from S&M so far. Size 40 slim. Other than having to shorten the sleeve length a small bit, the fit was perfect, but with one annoying exception. The lapel area sticks out away from my chest, creating a gap between the jacket and my chest. What would recommend as a solution for future purchases? And is their a way to tailor a fix for the ones I have already?
This can be resolved by a competent tailor. They have to shrink the bridle, which is the part underneath the lapel. Our tailor in Mississauga is quite good at this alteration.
We have looked at making the front chest very slightly bigger, but it's not confirmed as yet. That said, with softer construction jackets such as sportcoats, our new neapolitan suits and the unstructured jackets, these should fit better because of the lack of structure.
