else what do u guys thinks?

My TaT suit fits the same way in the sleeves. I've been working out for a while, and now it's a really tight fit now in the chest, shoulders and upper arms.

So you have the twisting in the sleeves as well?

Thanks to this thread I've just placed my first order for a charcoal flannel 2 button. I'm so excited!

I'm sorting out the sleeve issue which seems to occur 1 in 10 to make it 0 in 10. It's not necessarily a pitch issue but I think it's caused by one particular person who is attaching sleeves not doing a good job so that's something being addressed right now.

btw, I'm out of town Thurs-Monday so if any emails during thur-mon can wait til after monday that would be greatly appreciated.

Just placed my order. Hope you can get that sleeve thing figured out. Thanks for the help w/ the measurements

1. The front slanted pocket accentuates your unflattering waist line resulting in a image of a 7-month pregnant belly.
2. The trousers are too short; no break for fat (like me) or short guys shortened/widens the legs.

is there any shipment tracking or does it just magically appear at your doorstep 1 day?

I send a shipping confirmation when it's mailed.

Are you up for doing cropped suits for us short guys anytime in the future?

Trust me, the suits are extremely short in the first place. In fact, I actually had to lengthen mine, so I wouldn't worry about length.

Alright so it took me a little while due to my busy schedule, but I got to the tailor and got my pants trimmed down. I definitely messed up the measurements guys. Remember to have the tape measure snug when you measure. I basically took measurements somewhere between loose and snug. When I order my next suit I'll be retaking the measurements for the jacket as well.

Here's some pictures.

the pants look good to me. did you use another pair of pants as a reference at all? or did you just give your measurements?

 

[mickeymickey]

I got them from GetSmart and they were big because I messed up the measurements. I took them to a tailor afterwards and she just made the alterations I requested, and now the pants look a lot better.

Hey Jason,

How much material do you need for a custom lining?

Thanks

Just a thought, and I don't know whether this has been mentioned already.

In order to help with the measuring process would it not be a good idea to have a video showing you how to take the measurements needed for the suit?
I noticed that they have these on ravistailor but they are only brief clips for each measurement and with no sound to explain subtleties that need be accounted for when taking each measurement.

I suspect that when going through the e-mail consultation, how to measure yourself is explained in greater detail but I think a video explaining would be excellent. Plus personally I feel that if when stumbling across the TaT website somebody can straight away view a video which explains clearly the measurements needed and how to get them in the precise manner that is needed, their mind will be put at ease and they will be encouraged to give it a go.

Just my 2 pence
