Nope. No outlet of extra cloth to work from in shirts

If you have darts, you can let them out.

Otherwise, no.

would moving the buttons a small amount work?

 

[Despos]

Depends where you need the extra room and how much extra room you need. Try, nothing to lose


moving the buttons on the front will create an awkward looking shirt as everything is centered.

Happy New Year!
My winter coat flares out at the bottom, I guess it's not normal? but fixable?
Size smaller still flares out but in a less pronounced way. Thanks!

Not much to go on from one side view that doesn't reveal much. Most often flaring of the skirt is related to balance issues but I think this one would improve by reducing the hip area of the coat. Coat balance looks like it has both a short front and back balance. Not 100% certain from the one picture provided

Thank you, I updated the photo (added frontal and the other side photo)

What does the jacket do when it's unbuttoned? Can you get pics of that?

 

[Despos]

Very short front balance. Proper fix is to open side seams, drop the back (shortening it) about 1 1/2" (maybe more). Reducing the front only at the side seams to take out excess cloth. If you only reduce the fronts and not shift the side seams the front will fly away more than it does already. You have a very low right shoulder that is contributing to the flare. That's why the left flares more than the right side.

Gentleman, this is the final produck of my recent bespoke commision. Any feedback and suggestion will be very appreciated.

No expert, but the trousers look a little short for the width of the ankle opening.

 

[tcbrgs]

Yes, little short imo, and you have a forward stance which hasn't been accounted for, which is causing the ripples and trousers to catch on front of thigh

 

[Despos]

Renzi, trousers need adjusting but are you wearing braces on the trousers in this picture?

Yeah, I like the no break look, so maybe I'll lengthen it just a smidge. 1 cm perhaps? My friend suggested me to ask for slanted hem and I think it's a good solution
