Re-read the last sentence of Swooc's own post. In any case it's a bit short but looks ok as a trendier cut suit.

i could have easily avoided it by telling jason i wanted a longer length. if i did it would have only been as long as where the bottom zipper seam is. a length that reaches the curl of my fingers is too long for my taste, and imo ruins the whole aesthetics of what a TaT suit represents. my initial direction for this suit was to be aggressive so i'm satisfied with the current length. i think the light shade helps exaggerate the shortness of the jacket. if i ever go for another light colour suit i'll probably have the length extended a little.

joejackson, i don't think there is too much extra fabric at the bottom for you to extend the length. i'd say a max of 1"? i'm not sure how they can get around the curves at the bottom.

justin, that looks very nice. i've always hated 3 button jackets, but i'm starting to really like them.

I haven't gotten a response from him since I email this weekend.


Same here. I asked him two days ago for a tracking number. I'm curious if my suit is stuck in customs or the holiday void.

I have my own wedding in Aug 01 this year. Wanted to get a new suit for the wedding and thinking of getting my first TaT / MTM suit. Most likely go with a 2 button conservative cut. Wondering if anybody can suggest a colour besides BLACK that I can go with? I originally wanted to go for a tweed pattern, but my fiancee thinks that is too casual since Im the groom. Want to do something a little different instead of the standard black suit and tie. Perhaps a bow tie? Any help would be appreciated as I know next to know about suits. I enjoy the fit of TaT as they are slimmer.

Thanks

I went with the two button cut. It is not a true sack cut jacket as it has a bit of waist suppression. If you email Jason and ask him he should be able to give you all the specifications he used for me. At this point I go with whatever he thinks looks good as he has not lead me astray yet!
