Relax. Sleeve and seat can be easily fixed. The more complicated problem is the kicking side panels, which is related to overall balance--very difficult to be fixed.
Good news is not too many will notice it, and some may even think it is a subtle "skirt" effect. Well, skirt effect is fine actually, but I doubt it is part of Prologue's house style.

@benjamin831 Any photos, if you have them?

Both the jacket and pants are still in the shop for more tweaks. I should have them back by this weekend.

My suit exhibited the exact same problems and more.

Fairly normal. That is a MTM business anyway. I have seen much worse bespoke stuff here in this particular thread.

Could you elaborate on what is kicking side panel and it’s cause? Thank you.

Side panels and back balance seem to be short, judging from the picture only.

Thank you for your illustration. To my amateur eyes, it seems to be caused by the unclear seat and the angle of the photo.

Or because of the friction between jacket and pants (which happen to ocur on both side, evenly), or the leaning forward posture (not the camera angle however)...Tons of possibilities. Only the wearer knows the whole truth.
BTW I don't hate skirt effect at all. I was merely nitpicking like others.

Hi All

Thought some of the regulars to this thread may be interested. I have two Lee Baron suits that I’m looking to off load. They’re approx a size 36/46 jacket and a 30 trouser. Let me know if anyone is interested!

Can provide measurements and more image if required.

Thanks!

Measurements on jacket and pants? Jacket: Length (BOC); chest; waist; sleeves; shoulders rear seam to seam. Pants: front rise; thigh; knee; ankle; room to lengthen? Price?

Got my pants back after some major operations:

Cleaned up swamp butt
Shorten back rise and shifted back balance
Recut trouser leg to accommodate leg curvature
Hem

Pretty satisfied with the alterations but the interior of the pants look like a bomb had went off, I'll need to bring it back to have it cleaned up further. FWIW, my best fitting trousers are still from Luxire.

Look very nice to me, although not sure how much is from prologue and how much is from your alteration tailor

Some better pics of the Prologue commission - next will have a longer jacket and lower buttoning point:

 

[benjamin831]

Looks like one sleeve is longer than the other. Otherwise, quite nice. Did you get a basted fitting?

Thanks. Sleeves are even, was a result of my shirt underneath one sleeve. No basted fitting for this one - just an initial measurement and some final adjustments
