What is this? Conventional front length and almost a topcoat length in back?
Not sure what's going on here. The button position is matching at the waist but the left front hangs longer than the right side from the front view.

My opinion is not to taper the trouser. looks balanced with the bulk of the jacket now. Overly trim trouser looks off with this size jacket. These aren't jeans and shouldn't fit like jeans. Don't isolate the trouser; watch how it works with the overall silhouette.

Thanks for your reply, the back will be cut to the right length and is part of the tailors process. Not sure why there was a tilt but he tailor said it was part of his process and nothing for me to worry about. My main issue is what to do with the pants as they are not sitting that well right now, catching at the knees a bit and bagging out at the ankle. Should I ask for a wider fit?

What does “catching at the knee” mean?

I don't see any issue with the trouser opening. But, I prefer the trouser to lay over and just touch the shoe. This doesn’t happen when the trouser is too narrow. Don’t try to style suit trousers to fit like jeans

i think the pants are a bit too slim at the knee and not draping properly. will keep in mind the comment about not being jeans. Aside from the different lengths of the coat, do you think the balance is ok with regards to the waist lapels etc, are there any other major issues to discuss with my tailor. He seems pretty happy with this result so far.

 

[Despos]

Balance looks fine.
You need to ask why the left side hangs almost 1' longer than the right side. Look closely at the pocket flaps. The left flat looks lower than the right side. This is something to adjust and correct before it goes any further. Something is off.
The back looks very full/loose at the blades.

Luxire grey wool pants.

Unpinned:

Pinned at the rear:

1. Rear of the trousers look loose. The creases should look more straight and stretched. Should I decrease backrise at crotch and lower the crotch?

2. There are a lot of folds on my crotch area. I want it to look cleaner like these Kit Blake trousers. How is this solved?

Gentlemen I'm once again asking you for your fit advice.
This one seems tricky: The shirt fits cleanly and I'm happy with how the shirt looks but when I try to move the arms forward or up the movement is quite restricted and I fell considerable tension in the lines indicated below. The armhole it's 20,5 cm tall (nothing crazy) and i was wondering if i needed to widen the armhole (what else?). Also the shirt it's not tight and i have slimmer shirts with better movement. I would appreciate a lot if you could help a fellow jawnz enthusiast. The red lines in the photo indicate tension @Despos @Nytailor

I can’t help you with that, but I can’t help but think it is extremely short, isn’t it?

Yep, I should make it a little longer but its a summer linen shirt to wear untucked. You can see the polo side slits at the bottom

I am hoping to get some feedback on my first attempt at MTM trousers. They were made by PC, so I have the option to remake or return them. Note that the trousers are not hemmed and have just been tucked up for picture purposes.

I am curious if there is a way to correct/improve the way the pants ride up and wrinkle below the butt. The seam on the back of both legs is also breaking some above the knees.

If it is helpful, here are the measurements…
Waist Width: 17.5”
Hip Width: 21.7”
Thigh Width: 13.9”
Knee Width: 9.4”
Leg Opening Width: 8.3”
Front Rise: 11”
Back Rise: 17.5”
Inseam Length: 37”

Based on what I’ve read, I am not sure if shortening the back rise and increasing/decreasing the hip width would help?

Thank you in advance for your feedback and help.

I am new to tailoring and trying go dress more my age. Any feedback is appreciated as this is uncharted water for me.

I usually have bad posture so in pics I am trying to stand straight and pull shoulders back. This is what is causing the lines in me sleeves. My back also has wrinkling and there is a lot of excess in the armpit area.

Did I just size incorrect or is this fixable?

And feedback and tips would be appreciated.

Much thanks for taking the time to read this.

Would be best if you stand how you normally stand. You’ll be wearing this in real life and not trying to pose with the best posture you can muster.

Looks like you grabbed too big of a size though based on these pictures.

Thank you for the suggestion. Below I am standing a bit more relax.

Yes it has appeared i have sized to big. Was wondering if its worth taking to tailor to see if ot can be fix or just try to unload this in b&s?

Do my shoulders look way too big?

Thank you again for the feedback and comments.

I never want to mess with alterations on shoulders.
