new request for critiques.. here is a bbgf navy suit. i am surprised that it has almost 19" shoulders for a 38R jacket (tagged 38) and also i would expect jacket lapels to be hand stitched but i can't see anything on the lapels about stitching... but it's full canvassed. Do you think that it's too large at shoulders or it's fine ? what about overall fit ? i will ask tailor to take a little at the waist level.

New Indochino shirt order:Originally Posted by blendenj
It's obviously too tight in the chest...
How much bigger does my chest measurement need to be? 2 inches? 1 inch? Or is it also a problem with the shoulder measurement?
Thanks....
I think it's purely a chest issue. Notice how all the wrinkles radiate from one point on either side. That's where the tension is.

^ The big flaw is that the jacket is too short for someone your height. Button stance is also too low for a tall person. Also, might want to get a jacket with more shoulder padding. You've got sloped shoulders.Originally Posted by jrd617
Shirt collar doesn't fit either. Too big. Spread collar design would complement the slim lapel aesthetic better.
Knot is poorly tied. Needs to be a FIH pulled tight for a skinny tie like that.

The shoulders are too big, but it's workable. I'd return it, but if you like it and really want to keep it, go ahead.
What say you? Too short?Originally Posted by Aldehyde
It would've been better if it were slightly longer. Can you lengthen it at all?
It's a decent "modern" fit. People of average height can get away with (slightly) shorter jackets.Originally Posted by jrd617
That too.

I've decided this jacket is next for the Tailors. I've looked, and there's something funky going on with the lapel that I can see, and while my shoulders are hitting in the front, something funky's going on round back. Any other thoughts?
