Apart from the extra length, did you specify any other adjustments?


I just took the whole slew of measurements as per the TaT website. Jason also caught an error of mine (I misinterpreted the guide). My posture is a bit weird, which makes it look like I am a few months pregnant sometimes

Looks great, skaglore. Man, GS, you gotta get more of that windowpane fabric. It's really nice with the single button.

I have at least one or two samples in that fabric. Maybe I'll put them up and do a 'sample sale'. I know for sure I have a size 40 (with 34" trou)

I agree - it looks really great with the peak lapels, and I'm not a fan of peaks either.

Skal, Jason picked up an error with my measurements too. Anyone who is feeling a bit hesitant to get one, you can be sure that you'll be looked after.

How many yards of fabric are needed for a lining?

The suit looks great Skalogre. I really don't see the problem of your dropping shoulders in the pictures you posted. BTW is that something that can be improved through physical therapy or weightlifting?

I sort of doubt it. I have been to doctors a few times, the best they could come up with is that my ligaments are overelastic or my shoulder muscles are weak. But it has been getting worse for some time now so I am not sure what to do with it anymore.

Glad you cannot readily see it. It was driving me potty as I could see the seam on the shoulder go in an odd direction on me...

yea i don't see the droopy shoulder thing either, i guess it's something you see after years and years of being you =p

great fit though! is the back just wrinkly like that or are you just standing in a weird position?

Not sure - it probably caught me while I was trying to turn fast enough to get my back before the timer took the photo

I believe Sauce would call that an "action shot"

For it to be an action shot, you have to be pretending you're James Bond. It's all mental.
