I just received what I hope will be my first suit (BB 1818 Fitzgerald). I haven't taken it to the tailor yet and wanted to solicit feedback on the fit and what alterations are needed. I was thinking of shortening the sleeves an inch or so, taking in the waist an inch or two and lowering the collar.
I'm a bit concerned about the pulling across my shoulder blades, is that something a tailor can fix or does it mean the jacket is too small? The shoulders feel good as does the rest of the jacket, so I'm hoping it is fixable.
Also, I'm currently in the New Haven, CT area and am planning on visiting Umberto the Tailor in Wilton, CT for the alterations, based on some older recommendations I found in the forums. Has anyone had any recent experience with him or any other tailors they can recommend in or around New Haven?
Thanks for the feedback.
