So, a case of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

The turnback cuffs I got made for my shirt are a pain to do up and so I rarely wear that shirt. They sure look cool though.

Is it possible to get rid of them? I assume a tailor could just chop off the excess fabric and stitch it up?

Incognito worked. The new site will be welcomed by many.

Coral striped popover, commencing.

Post pics when you receive it. I've been curious about the IRL look of it. Can't tell if it's a redder or pinkish hue

Just got my first suit in! I'm very impressed with it. Now I just need to find someone to trust with getting the minor alterations I need done to it..

Easiest is to have the cuffs replaced. If we have the fabric we can make the cuffs and send it to you.

I would 100% go with the 44 based on what you wrote. I have a 42L (contemporary) sportcoat from S&M and it is definitely more trim that my 42L regent cut from BB.

Thanks for letting me know!

@spiermackay any chance of getting the Jumper boot in Suede in FW20?

 

[FlyingHorker]

Can we request wacky things like swelled edges and wine-glass shaped patch pockets for MTO?

Comparing an equivalent neo vs. standard sportcoat cut, which one has less open quarters and a lower button stance? I reaaaally don't want the triangle of death with my tie/shirt peeping out underneath.

Has anyone else noticed on their custom S&M shirts this ridge/bunching along the traps? I can't figure out what to adjust to fix it, and I don't have that problem with other shirts (this was a copy of a custom shirt from another vendor) - the reason I'm posting it here and not in the Tailor thread, is that someone mentioned they had the same in one of my earlier iterations.

First pic has the sleeve cuffs buttoned up, second is with them unbuttoned (I think my sleeves are a touch short, open to suggestions)



It extends around the back too:

Shirt bumps up behind the back of the collar

Solving the problem of shirt bumps behind the collar: find out how to adjust the shoulder slope and yoke width for a smoother fit.

For me personally, the "straight posture" adjustment helped. Your neck also seems to be relatively erect as well.

Pants are also tight, can see pocket flaring, and pulling across thighs and waist.

Helpful link, thanks!

I thought it might be something with yoke initially.

Yeah, pants are a mess, don't pay attention to those. I've found much better success with 32 Contemp from Spier, but I still feel obligated to make use of some of my earlier (ill-fitting) iterations of MTM pants

Shirt looks small on you at the shoulders and at top button. Let that out a bit, bet the bunching at the neck disappears

Is anyone planning an MTO order this weekend (10% off)?

I really need a funeral suit at the ready, but I’m thinking about a neo triple patch summer e thomas gun check sport coat.
