Excellent. One of the better bespoke suits I've seen on here.
I am also loving the shirt/tie combo in the first pic.

You can count on one hand the number of bespoke suits which have this level of positive feedback.

I love the suit though, lapels look 100% perfect. I wouldn't change anything if I were you. Congrats. I'm also wondering why it's ventless though. Center vent would look great.

I think ventless gives a cleaner shape. I believe it takes a lot of work to make it fit correctly though, so for OTR single or double vents allows more body shapes to fit whereas ventless pretty much has to be tailored to fit properly. As someone of the same stature of the OP, I actually generally sew down all my SC/suit vents and find it much cleaner. of course double vents are much more comfortable when sitting and putting hands in pockets.

Congratulations to OP on a very nice suit. Apologies if this was addressed earlier in the thread, but do you have an established relationship with the tailor, or is this among your earliest commissions?

Did you request the width of the breast pocket or is that their own standard width? Width is more Italian like, looks good, nothing negative about it. just unusual to see that from a tailor in Seoul.
Jacket length is good for you, don't change it. You have long arms but the length works.
One thing drives me crazy, Koreans make the pocket pipes on the bias. your jacket and trouser pockets have bias pipes.


This may explains it, it seems like a join venture with the Italians
