Suit Advice After Alteration - Critique needed

[AriGold]

I had a suit jacket taken in at the sides and center vent for added waist suppression as suggested by the lady who served me. Upon receiving the jacket, I noticed that there was an issue with the vent - a bit of an overlap occurring:

After speaking to the tailor, he suggested that it's just the result of waist suppression - and that it looks fine. Now i'm not entirely sure if it's supposed to be like this. If not any suggestions on what can be done to improve it? Some more fit pics:

Advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Did your arms grow a few inches since you visited the tailor?

I agree, the suit that extra fold in the first picture looks odd. I've had jackets taken in quite a bit an not had that problem, would think a competent tailor could fix it.

EZ

lol nah my arms didn't grow but rather it was a stylistic choice I made with the sleeve length.

I think he's referring to the fact that the shirt sleeve looks a bit short as well. The amount of cuff shown is spot-on IMO.

What your "tailor" did was took in the waist without adjusting the rest of the jacket. Sloppy work at its finest.

An amateur at best, probably a complete quack who learned how to use a sewing machine by reading the manual, then hung a shingle advertising self as "tailor".


Would avoid.

I would agree if his shirt sleeves weren't too short. If the shirt sleeves were the right length he'd be showing an inch of cuff

IMHO, the left side seam was not closed properly. Maybe one of the tailors (like Sator) could comment more eloquently on this.

Nonetheless, you shoud have it fixed. If your tailor wont, then take it to another for an opinion. I suggest you find a SF-approved tailor in your locale.

I'm not one for confrontation, so when I have this type of problem, I take it to another tailor.

Good luck.

Your shirt sleeves are an inch too short. Thus your jacket is even shorter. There's no coming back from that.

Button stance and gorge both weirdly high.

I wouldn't worry much about the vent. It does look strange, but that's something that mininum 90% of the world won't notice. What they will notice, though, are your extremely short sleeves. You should get them taken out. As of now, it's almost a 3/4 sleeve jacket, which appears effeminate, at best.

 

[bowtielover]

the sleeves are off, way too short but everything else seems to fit fine.

 

[guster]

Chest, shoulders look good. Th sleeve length make the jacket look too small for you. If you want shirt cuffs showing, haveth shirt a bit longer. If this is a jacket for going out, maybe ok. If it is for a business settng, I would not wear sleeves tha short.

 

[Faded501s]

I agree with everyone else. The shoulders and chest are the hardest thing to get right and that jacket looks like it fits perfectly in those areas. Stylistic choice or not, your shirt and jacket sleeves really throw that suit into the "I'm in the middle of a growth spurt and will get a new suit when it's over" bin. Really, really bad IMO. And that is a very high button stance (but I like the fashionably high gorge).

As far as the vents go, not the best work but I don't think a lot of people will notice. I'd probably take it to a different tailor to see if it could be fixed.

+1 a good tailor recuts the vents.
