Thanks for the comments. I really like this 1B cut with these quarters and those 2" cuffs are nice too. Sleeve lenghth is also perfect and they seem hang pretty nicely. Now I would like to order more this same style and maybe one navy suit with peak lapels. Too bad I don't have the money yet.

PS: the fabric is brown glen plaid.

I don't have a problem with the sleeve pitch at all. It may have something to do with posture.

Opoika excellent choice in color! That TaT fit looks nice. The 2" cuff definitely work with your height.

Evening Boys and Girls,

Just thought I'd share some photos of my TaT suit with you all. The fabric is the English Super 120 charcoal. The style isn't really too different from the house, slightly wider lapels, slightly longer overall, no ticket pocket, no belt loops, half-break. Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, my DSLR has a flat battery and my girlfriends camera is rubbish

So, the fit I am very happy with. Yes there are a few wrinkles/folds here and there in the photos, however this was taken just after getting home from work at the end of the day, and really we don't stand around in a perfect pose in the office all day. We walk around, sit in different chairs, write notes, shake hands and so on, a suit is never going to be perfectly crease free in practical use. Overall I couldn't be happier with the fit. The only question I have is about the sleeve length. Do you think I should take it down? I didn't get working cuffs as I wasn't 100% confident with the measurement. And how much more on the shirt (I am about to place another order with Jantzen)?

Anyway here's some detail shots.

Lapel and breast pocket, bit hard to see the stitching detail sorry

And the trousers, buckle side adjusters, straight side pockets, one back pocket and good size hidden pocket in the waistband

Thanks Jason!

I disagree about slimmer pants. Did you look at the profile shot? Shoulders look great and I like the length. I think the sleeves need to be narrowed at top and although not very popular on this forum I do think the sleeves need to be lengthened. Well done.

I also wouldn't get slimmer pants. I think the sleeves are fine where they are, but if you want to have them let down, then I think you should lengthen your shirtsleeves as well to get the right amount of cuff.

Looks good.

Very nice fit.

I just want to ask whether TaT suits have working sleeve buttons, and are the width of your pants default.

Thanks.
