[breakaway01]

Haven’t seen @Despos around here recently but hopefully he will see this and respond.

Hey all, I'm relatively new here and just starting to build up my suit collection. I bought this Attolini suit on discount and can still return it. I'm leaning towards keeping it but open to other's opinions! I feel like the jacket needs to be slimmed down a bit and the pants need to be tapered. It's a size 48 drop 6 by the way. Any feedback would be so much appreciated

Pants tapered? I’m not sure you can slim those up anymore without painting them on.

Based on these pictures they look like you could use more space in them, not less.

Jacket looks fine. Maybe a tiny bit too tight. The puckering looks like it's being caused by your drop shoulder (which I have too).

Don't taper the pants. You should let them out a bit.

A question for the tailors: any concern bringing in a trouser waist by ¾ inch in terms of back pocket or side seem alignment?

 

[Jaker12]

Hey thanks for the feedback everyone. Noted about the pants. I will leave them be 😅

Hi guys.

Can I get some feedback on the fit of this sportcoat? Lighting is terrible, my apologies.

Not a tailor but I'd say size up. Sleeves are too short, Waist is tight. Shoulders/Chest look a little tight.

Does the jacket feel comfortable moving around?

Too small/tight in certain spots.

Just put in an order for this ivory merino/cashmere jacket from the Anthology and was pondering how to have the sleeves finished. Standard 4 working buttons? Single button? Two buttons so I can leave the second one undone?

Hey I'm looking for any guidance for final alterations to my tuxedo. Seems to fall a little strange on my right arm but overall I'm happy.

I've always liked three. Three stands out as special because it's not four. And there is something about that number (trifecta, triumvirate, trinity, hat trick)!

Not sure if this is the correct thread but I'll ask anyway. Does anyone know of a tailor who specializes in, or is proficient at, altering knitwear? In NYC?
I have a couple shetland crew knits I'd like to slim the sleeves on.
Thanks!

Pretty simple question before I pull the trigger on a new overcoat...

Is it possible to shorten gauntlet cuffs? If so, how is this done?
