    Suit Jacket Shoulder Divots - Why and how to fix?

    I have a tailored jacket, which has these obnoxious looking indents on the side of the jacket. I'm not sure why, as the shoulder width is not too big for my shoulders. I've measured all my suits.

    Puffy Shirt in the Lower Back

    I'm looking for advice on what I can ask the tailor to do, to get rid of this puffiness in the lower back area of my tailored shirts. I've read that you should have roughly 1-3 inches of pinched fabric to allow for a comfortable fit. I hate nothing more than having a restricted feeling, or a...

    Bespoke Shirt Fit - Restrictive Arm Movement

    I've been struggling to get some bespoke shirts made that fit me comfortably. The tailor I have been using is highly recommended by many people and his shop is always busy and with return customers. I love his selection of fabrics and most importantly his price.

    New Jacket with Seen in Pocket Square

    So recently I have started to buy some zara off the rack suits, as I found they tend to fit my body shape quite well and only require minimal tailoring on pant length and arm length. Now I know you are supposed to take out the stitching on the pockets and remove any external labels, but I can't...
