You could get away with anything but black. Depending on the charcoal it could work but you would have to see. Blues, greys, and earth tones will work.- jbernard

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
The pants look good. And for once it seems they got the shoulders right the first time which is good news for you. I would get it remade as it looks like it needs an inch and a half out. And depending on how good your tailor is you will be able to see the old seem in certain light. If you are...- jbernard

The sleeves shouldn't bunch up in the overcoat. Either the overcoat sleeves are too slim, or the suit jacket sleeves are too big. An overcoat (made to go over a suit jacket) is not going to have very high arm holes. You should still have movement and shouldn't be as low as a 80s-90s suit. But...- jbernard

Why would you put on a sport shirt to go get the mail, or it you have sleeves rolled up and a number of other things. And most importantly it will speak to the quality of the coat. Please think things through before you post.- jbernard

It may be a good deal. I never buy an overcoat without trying it on. Companies will charge a lot of money for a very nice coat on the outside, and an uncomfortable interior. I bought an overcoat for around that money once and returned it after the first time wearing it with a short sleeve shirt...- jbernard

You can wear a tie with that shirt no problem. the problem is the plaid shirt, WITH the plaid suit. If you have a solid suit I would go with that and it will make picking out a tie easier. A solid wine or a grenadine. Even a blue would work.- jbernard

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
I am having some trouble with some side-tabs on some suit pants I have.The first picture shows the only way to get a little bit of hold. The second picture (the way they are suppose to hold) Doesn't hold at all. There is almost no effort at all needed to pull it apart. Anyway to make this better...- jbernard

Right I get that. But I don't understand why a bespoke suit doesn't need it. Where an OTR suit does.- jbernard

I have never had a peak lapel with the stitching. What is the difference between mine and OTR peak lapels?- jbernard

It could work for a suit. I would go for a fancier shoe though. Even to wear with jeans. I've never heard anyone criticize me for overdressing their shoes. I have only heard people compliment it. Assuming your not wearing a t-shirt.- jbernard

6x1 Double Breasted Suits
Maybe it's just me. But I like the 6x1 better than the 4x1. i think it looks more sleek while the 4x1 more short and chubby.- jbernard

You should pull your jacket in, closer to your collar, the gap it to large. If you got rid of that space the shoulders should be where they need to be. The pant legs should be shorter as well, that is an easy fix.- jbernard
