Love it. Looks great with a jacket underneath to fill it out. Enjoy wearing it!- Timmers

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
This is a solid, classic fit. I would lengthen the trousers. Trouser balance (behind thighs/knee) is a little messy. You can pin horizontally just under the back waistband and determine if reducing the back rise is necessary.- Timmers

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Not bad. Hips and thighs need a bit more fullness, particularly on the pleated pair. Back balance really needs some work. I'd vote for more fullness throughout the leg to provide volume, as well as accomodating for forward hips and reducing the back rise a touch till balance is fixed. Would like...- Timmers

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Due to the extended shoulders, I would investigate letting out the upper sleeve/bicep to accomodate. This can alleviate some of the divoting. Check for any seam allowance. I'm not familiar with J Press so not sure if they typically have any. In my experience, most makers only leave about 1-1.5cm...- Timmers

Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.
Quite a few options. These are some of the bigger firms: InStitchu is likely the cheapest (price and quality wise). I have lots of personal experience there and was able to nail my fit with trial and error, but I am not sure I'd suggest it to others. It greatly depends on the fitter you are...- Timmers

That would be fine, imo. You could shorten via shoulder too to avoid messing with the buttonholes.- Timmers

Looks fantastic. I'd probably reduce the sleeve length to show some shirt cuff (how ever much you prefer), but that's it.- Timmers

Wow, much better. Great shape in the jacket. The overall silhouette is cleaner and closer to the 30s-40s aesthetic you mentioned. I hope you enjoy wearing it!- Timmers

From the side view, the jacket was slightly disproportionate to the trousers. Widening the leg opening will look fantastic and improve the silhouette. Looking forward to seeing the results! In my experience, most tailored trousers from anywhere reputable will have seam allowance.- Timmers

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Great fit for RTW. I think the pinned alterations you went ahead with were good. I do feel the overall proportions of the suit would be benefitted by slightly fuller trousers. There may be sufficient fabric allowance in the seams to let them out, if you would consider.- Timmers

Just below the back waistband, pin up a few CMs of cloth horizontally and see how it impacts the fit. From there you can determine how much should be removed by measuring the pinned cloth. I would take images and show them too.- Timmers

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Just looks too slim everywhere. I can't imagine the cotton cloth helping too much either. The cloth on the back thigh is not exactly excess. Infact, these trousers would drape far better if you had much more added to the thighs imo. The trousers should ideally follow one straight line from top...- Timmers

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Letting out the seat/hips will help those pleats stay closed. They are opening WAY too much whilst standing. Not sure what the pleat depth is, but I would go deeper on the next pair (1.5" inch for the 'primary' pleat will suffice, 0.5" inch for the secondary). I would consider reducing the...- Timmers

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
I think you would benefit massively from a more structured coat. The jacket's imbalanced left/right panels seem to be exacerbated by a sloping right shoulder (noted by the sleeve length discrepancy and 'sag' below the front left chest). This is common and can be enhanced with a structured...- Timmers

A fuller cut hem would typically cover about 2/3 of your shoes. Regardless, this is all preference. I would suggest experimenting with a larger hem on your next pair. I would pair this with a higher rise, at your natural waist (naval/belly button). You certainly have the height and build to pull...- Timmers

Pleats are a bit messy. Would benefit from a higher rise, deeper pleat depth, and perhaps a touch more room in the hips (although I see you prefer a slimmer fit). Front rise in particular looks to be causing some issues with the pleats, too low. I would go fuller in the hem, although not on this...- Timmers

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
What sort of climate do you live in? 600g is heavy but if it doesn't get too hot year round, then it'll work nicely for an A/W odd jacket. The hefty twill should cement it as an odd jacket. I wouldn't pick that as suiting cloth.- Timmers

Wool will automatically make the drape better than what I assume to to be cotton trousers. Heavy cotton won't get the same drape. More fullness as you've indicated, higher rise (natural waist, around the naval), and a sharp crease should do the trick. Leg opening looks okay. Make sure you adjust...- Timmers
