not bad, but the sleeve lengths are off. at first glance, the sleeve lengths on the shirt are uneven, as are the sleeve lengths on the jacket (though it looks like you may be wearing the jacket a little off-center in the photo). are your arms different lengths? if so, you should factor that in when placing future orders. cheers!

Thanks. No my arms are alright. I shot the photos in a hurry as I was trying to relax and watch the game.
Yeah the length of the sleeves are off. The shoulder is a big off too, I probably will take a inch off the shoulder and a inch off the arms on my next order.

Your sleeves, both shirt and suit jacket, are too long. I'd say 1.5 inch shorter on the shirtsleeves and 2 inches shorter on the jacket but again it's hard to judge from pictures. That suit has beautiful fabric, reminds me of Scorsese's Casino.

That bunching at the shoulders...is that inevitable with any shirt or is there something which can be adjusted to remedy it? I can't imagine how it can be avoided.

I assume you did body measurements and not shirt ones, right?

it is not bad for a first try.
shorten the yoke 1/2" only. your sleeves are different lengths, I do not think you have the option to order different lengths.
Armhole is too small.
Reduce chest a tiny bit, if they change the shape of the armhole.
Add some darts in the back.
press your shirt a little better before taking photos

Hey

Thanks for all the reply.

Yeah Its not that bad for the first try, the sleeves are the same lengths I am sure, I think its the angle that I took the picture made the sleeves look different. Yes I agree the armholes are too small, its a common issue with this tailor, it seems that they just can't get it right when you order 'slim fit'.

I had the most terrible experience - I ordered a made to measure coat that was ridiculous in my point of view. Way too short and way too wide, I showed it to a local tailor and he could not stop laughing. A drunken pig could not have tailored a worse "made to measure" coat to my point of view. OMG.
And now they do not want to refund the money. How can such a company survive?
