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.

Wow suits look great! Would it be possible to add patch pockets for a fee? Not even Mtm as your suits fit me well.

Ugh, Rick. They're awesome. I'm debating whether to try one of your unstructured jackets in the same size or go a size up.

No, once the pocket is set it can't be changed. If they added a patch, it would simply be over the other pocket. we could remove the flap, but the jet would still be there.

It's pretty great. I called an audible at the last minute as we have originally ordered it in a herringbone.

Good call, Rick. These look great - I want one, probably the brown. Just a website note - the sizing tab for the Brown Contemporary Fit shows the Slim size chart.

I would really love that adjustment for sure.

Speaking of adjustments, what do you think of having higher armholes? I think it makes sense especially since the jackets are now completely unstructured.
