Havana patch pockets instead of flap are too informal for a business setting at a big company right?

I saw such a fantastic suit but it has those patch pockets :(

Anyone knows if its possible to turn them into flap or jetted pockets?

A tailor can make you fake flap pockets from those patch pockets. But it might be cheaper to go custom and get not just the style you want, but also get it fitted properly

I am looking for feedback on my MTM jacket (part of a suit). I hope the pictures are alright.

Overall I am very happy with the fit. I am about to make a new commission, so all feedback and suggestions are appreciated. I already know, that I want to increase the back length a little bit, but unsure about the rest.

Thanks in advance.

Looks very good to me. The only thing I would adjust is sleeve length. They could be shortened slightly. Around 1 or 1.5 cm or so to show some shirt cuff. We would need full body pics to properly judge the overall silhouette (particularly as it relates to jacket length and buttoning point). Both length and buttoning point looks pretty spot on from what I can tell for now, though. You/they did a good job on this!

Anyone have a bunch of the folding garment bags they include with their suits that you were looking to get rid of? I'm looking for a few!

I'm new to this thread but having read through a bunch of the posts, I've seen a lot of mentions of the "skirting" issue - where the bottom of the skirt flares out, away from the hips.

It seems a lot of posters put this down to the jacket being too short but I wonder if anyone has found any other solutions to this problem when doing MTM?

Has anyone had any experience playing around with hip width and/or "reducing the skirt" using this adjustment?

Or does a full canvas tend to drape better than a half canvas in this regard?

European Otrium Outlet restocked on quite some items, especially winterwear (coats, gloves, beanies, boots, tuxedos). Seems that Suitsupply uses the outlet continuously. Invitation link gives extra 25% on first order.

Thank you for this and also for the invite link! Was not aware they were using Otrium to clear excess inventory. Seems to be another Dutch company.

Quite a lot of stuff there (accessed from Germany), even in standard sizes (careful if you filter for size 50, it will not show items that are entered as 50R - there is no filter to match those), mostly around 40% to 60% discount and the -25% from the invite applies on top of that.

Yeah, absolutely nothing from the US. Shame that, there are probably some cool things to pick up.
