I am no expert and it is hard to tell fully from the pic, but you may benefit from going one size up IMO. What size is this suit you are wearing?

This is a size 42L contemporary with size 34 pants. My apologies for the blurry pics

Shoulders are fine. You have VERY square shoulders. An experienced tailor can clean that up. The fit otherwise looks fairly good.

Thanks for that. I'm always unsure how much "shoulder divot" there should be when arms are raised.

How much room is there to take out the waist on the pants? They are pretty tight but I'm also sitting with an extra 5-7 quarantine pounds

If you are looking for divots when moving your arms you are almost always going to find some. The shoulder pad doesn't move but the fabric will, causing a divot. The concern would be if there is a divot when standing relaxed.

1.5" inside the waist to let out.

Received my first ever sport coat today in the mail since going on my wardrobe change in September. Love the lightweight Drago wool/linen fabric. Size is 36R. I think it fits me perfectly, opinions?

@spiermackay pls let me give money.

is the MTM shirt factory opened again yet? will there be any new fabrics?

Yes open now. At half capacity. Should be back to full capacity first week of June.

What fabrics are you looking for? We have to do another round of buying to stock back up.

Looks great. See how the sleeve lands when you have a dress shirt on, maybe shorten the sleeve just a tad to let the shirt cuff show.

yup, don't know any tailors local to me, but will probably need to get the sleeves shortened .25"-0.5" for some cuff. Otherwise, think it fits great OTR

How about some regular Thomas Mason in staples (white/pale blue poplin/twill) as well as the wrinkle-resistant you have at present?

More casual fabrics overall.

OTR selection of regular and lightweight oxfords is bigger than MTM for example.

Denim shirt fabrics would be nice, lack of puckered/faded seams doesn't matter to me.

The speckled oxford I saw last month is also gone. Herringbone fabrics from last year seemed nice as well.

I always liked the wide selection of poplin prints too.

I'm trying to buy a gift card and when I go to check out I'm being charged for shipping. Is the gift card an actual physical card instead of just an electronic voucher? This seems odd.
