I’ve had my eye on this fabric for a while but haven’t worn a suit in over a year!!!
Understand your predicament. I am in the office five days a week (Government), so I am usually in suit or sport coat, and tie. Therefor, my long term plan to fill out the suit wardrobe is still on track.
Curious as to why you went Rota v. RingJacket for the trousers?
As I said, it is a bit of an experiment. I have a few suits from RJ, so I wanted to branch out a little, and mix things up a bit.
One of the guys did a similar suit with RJ jacket, Rota trousers, and it came out very nice. Also, having a few pairs of Rota, I am well aware of their quality.
How good is the Armoury’s MTM program for ring jacket? Do they adjust for issues like uneven shoulders well?
I think it depends on how severe the difference is, there is only so much you can do MTM. I don't have much of a shoulder issue, so i cant speak directly. my issues are more about my dad bod (add in a couple CM in the midsection of the jacket, and waist of trou), and being shorter than an OTR Regular, but taller than an OTR Short which requires shortening the jacket a couple CM.
(Damn, as I write that, I am basically saying I am short, and fat......)
However, a friend got an MTM Ring jacket (at the Armoury), and he has pretty pronounced dropped shoulder, his suit looks very good to my eye.
