lol. I guess. I hoped to get leaner, but that requires eating less food, so I’m getting bigger instead...

I got my needlecord suit today.
The trousers fit perfectly, and the jacket look good but it feels a bit tight in the shoulders.
Other measurements are pitch perfect (chest, length, sleeves...)
I don’t know if I should just not try and return it, or hope that break in and opening the back seam half an inch will make it work.
Opinions?
Can't a tailor also slightly stretch out the fabric with a steam iron? Slightly more room in the shoulder area should be very possible for a good tailor.
yea I bought it yesterday with the casentino gilet.
It’s very much a straight fit hence the belt. I won’t use the belt and would have preferred an internal waist cinch but oh well
I don’t necessarily think it’s an upgrade over Barbour but I do prefer the fit of this and like how the gilet/liner look underneath it
To me it looks fantastic with flannel suits

I think this would really ruin the shape.
I wish they would. I find most of their offerings too skinny.Does Drake's make any 9cm ties?

HN White makes excellent ties and most are available as 9cm or 8cm. I have quite a few.Not for the mainline Drake's as far as I've seen but Ben Silver, Paul Stuart, the Armoury (I think?) and other shops carry wider ~9mm Drake's made ties.
Not sure about a MTO program.
I prefer 9mm myself but love Drake's ties an
Of course my knot-tying Jedi powers are not the greatest. The tie is long so I'll practice wrapping it twice and see what happens. Any advice on four-in-hand for 8cm ties? I never have this problem with 9cm versions. In fact the HN White, Paul Stuart, Shibumi and Brioni ties I have basically dimple on their own.
