Hi all,

I commissioned a MTM piece and recently got it back. I see a few issues, which I think may be related due to the pandemic and it affecting production quality. I'd like to get your views on it. All critique welcome and appreciated, Thanks~

Overall not bad. There’s a touch too much waist suppression as evidenced from the back.

Also, from the back view, there’s something funky happening with the shoulders, mainly the right. Not sure if it’s your pose, camera angle or something with the shoulder construction.

Is this Spier? Looks not bad, but why is the sleevehead area (around your armpit) on your left bunching up like that?

Thanks for the replies.

I seem to have a repeat issue with the waist probably because I have a very thin waist. The sleevehead I have no idea lol. That's why I was thinking it was a production thing. Because the left sleeve isn't like that.

What do you guys think about the lower back? I feel like it could be cleaner

The lower back could be a bit cleaner. Maybe taking the waist out a tiny bit?

I’d give the fit a 7.5/10. It looks decent, and is wearable for sure, but I wouldn’t do MTM with them again until they properly dial in your fit. For MTM, it should look at least a bit cleaner.
