There's no point in altering an mtm suit to that extent unless they absolutely will not remake it. Shoulders are too big and a little too square for you. You could pad them out to lift them up a little but you said you want to take the pads out? Your right shoulder is VERY low and that should be compensated for in the measurements. Too much drape in the chest. Back would look ok when cleaned up. Shortening the jacket? That'll throw the pocket proportions off as well as the button stance.Prepare yourself guys, this is an absolute trainwreck. What can be done to salvage? I know the shoulders are too large, this is partially my fault for asking the MTM people to give me a bit of "growing room". They gave me way too much lol. Armholes are enormous. I'm going to ask them to take out a a good amount of the shoulder padding, it's going to look weird but probably better than what it looks like currently. There is also some bad collar gap that I don't know whether or not can be fixed....pretty disappointing. Sleeves also are clearly too long/large. Pants also came out huge/baggy lol
Let me know what else I can fix....sorry for bad pics. If possible I'm going to ask them to scrap the whole thing but that will require some spry bargaining...
My shoulders (yoke) will fill out/broaden in the coming months, as will my chest/back and arms but obviously not enough to fill out this jacket...
1 more fitting before I leave (in Shanghai).
Also, body measurements if they help: 5'9 155, 39" chest, 30" waist (midsection), ? on shoulders but probably somewhere from 17.5"-18" at the moment (narrow in relation to chest/back). Wide hip bones, probably close to 36" around. Sloped/rounded shoulders.
Tailors, could you please comment on my shirt and sport coat?
I recently commissioned a local tailor to build the shirt. The SC is a J Crew.
Many thanks.
Ask your tailor to put another button on the cuff to reduce the circumference when wearing. The extra length could be better distributed if there were more than one sleeve pleat.
A little tight in the hips
Not sure that your jacket is too tight especially looking at this pic. You may be a little full in the seat which will make that vent gape open. Ask your tailor if messing with the suppression is a good idea. I'm built very full in the seat. I usually wear double vented jackets to fix this and I suppress the waist mostly by taking in the front part of the jacket only. If it needs that much more, and it usually doesn't, i'll consider adding an underarm dart.
There are some wrinkles at the upper back indicating it might be a little too sloped for your shoulders. Talk to you tailor to check on that because it's too hard to tell from your pics. If it needs to be squared up in the shoulders, that could help the vent stay closed. It may be sitting funny, too. Try pressing it.
You need some more light when you're photographing a dark suit. It's very hard to see anything.Any suggestions for the tailor? Thanks so much!
Sorry about the last two pictures - I'm not sure why they're not rotating.
It drapes like this on the body of the coat because of your low left shoulder. The sleeve needs to be pressed properly. Did you try to steam out wrinkles in the sleeve? If this is your natural posture, the left arm hangs forward more than the right.Any idea on what's going on with the left arm near my armpit? Sleeve pitch issue?
Thanks! Is that the only issue with it?...so rotating the sleeve would fix it?
That longer arm is probably due to having a low right shoulder. That kindof length discrepancy with balanced shoulders is uncommon. You should still post pics, but if it's because of a low shoulder, you can either have your tailor pad that shoulder out to raise it up a bit or recut the whole shoulder. One is cheaper than the other. You get that stuff fixed first or have the tailor place padding between your shoulder and the jacket's shoulder to raise it up. Then you look at the sleeves..
