Yes, that's the one. I think they're cool, especially in DC. Everyone things you're an FBI agent.

Oh yeah, it's pretty bad back, shoulders, arms, underarms there, based on the pictures. I'm not a tailor but it's a poorly made suit. Seriously, no joke, you would have been better off going to Target! It was just put together all wrong, I don't think it can even be fixed. Get a refund if you can and chalk it up to a lesson learned, I've made my fair share of mistakes in the past. Learn before you buy... you wouldn't buy a car or even a TV like you bought this suit, would you?

No, it's not. How are you a CEO and don't know what a proper suit looks like? Type stuff like again and Obama will personally abort 1,000 fetuses with his bare hands. You have a lot to learn before you can chime in.

you look like a doughbag. lol?

Sorry but the suits look pretty disastrous. Given you've been lurking here a while, I'm surprised you consider them to be good. I'm not even sure where to start with a critique...

I really don't see what the big problem is to be honest... That man with the custom "Paul Chang" suit also had scrunching in the back. It wasn't nearly as scrutinized, like at all. I agree, it definitely should look a little cleaner in the back. I can still pull of a professional, stylish look with it, which is the important thing to me.

Perhaps you could give me your opinions on the rest of the suit though, how do the shoulders look, chest, etc.

I usually have a pretty good sense of style, since it's something I've always found important; and I like my suits. I tried on a few Armani suits at a Sax 5th outlet store (in Oxnard actually) about a year back, and I honestly like these ones just as much. Though again, I admit the back could use some work.

I'm very curious if I had lied, and said the suit cost $900, or even $1500 from a custom tailor in the US or something if the criticism had been nearly as harsh. Psychology of a cheap price tag may play a small part here I think.

Though I may be missing something drastic here, so specifics are definitely welcome

.

Regardless, these are my very first suits, but absolutely not my last. In my opinion, men of all status and employment should have at least 1 suit. I really look forward to expanding my collection in the coming years. I just can't wait to start university, and get a job where I can wear a suit every day haha.

To address your latest comments:
There is a huge difference between a Paul Chang suit and yours. There is also a big difference in how the poster who had the Pual Chang suit made, approached his thread.
Honestly, if you had paid $1K for this suit, you would have been butchered even worse.

Armani? What does that mean?

Again if ou paid that much, you would have been filleted and packed in spring water.

Please do not be so definsive, it will not help you and you will not garner the education you seem to seek. If you are hear to brag about your inexpensive suits, please realize you did not go about it in a way that was going to succeed. That said, I think its great you are interested in suits and hope you do learn what the hallmarks of fine tailoring is and can incorporate some of this in the future.

Nah, not here to brag, no point. It's just hard to discern genuine scrutiny and people being rude trying to be funny or something. When someone says it's a horrible suit and doesn't say why, it's just meaningless really and doesn't help. Perhaps I am getting a little defensive though, I'll try to stop that. Thanks for the heads up.

Btw, Eason has posted pics here... have a look at the WAYWT-thread in SW&D.

 

[litho]

If you think you can, then just wear it and more power to you.

Spend some time looking at the pics in the WAYWT thread - voxsartoria, phat guido, bmulford, tc houston. All these guys have different styles but their clothes generally fit very, very well. Then have a look at your photos. If you can't tell a trainwreck when you see one, there's very little point in me explaining one to you. Maybe I lack patience or am uncharitable, I'm sure there are others on SF that don't / aren't.

Then just wear them and don't listen to what anyone on here says.

. Ya I'm definitely starting to consider a lighter suit, I'm burning up just trying these on for the pictures, and I'm not even going outside haha. I might pick up one more Wool charcoal grey suit from these guys, and I'll get quoted on a linen. I will be needing a good business suit for here very soon I suspect. And all I can say is it would still be extremely bad ass pardon my french to have a custom gun pocket in my trousers. I'm going in next week to pick up a few miscellaneous goods from my tailor, and I'll have to speak to them about this. Naked do you have your CW permit, or do you own for home protection etc? Either way a 357 is a very fun gun to shoot; my good friend back home and I always go shooting with his. Now for the pics. Constructive criticism again, welcomed and appreciated; keyword however being constructive. Also, 1 pic of my corduroy sports jacket / blazer thingy (2 button), and 4 pairs of tailored jeans which I am VERY happy with. The one that is closest to OP picture is the corduroy jacket. P.S. Shirt collar on this particular shirt is a little off. Not sure why, the collars on the others are a little shorter, gonna need to have em fix it next week. Something just looks off from the back shots. Maybe it's just me, but anyone more knowledgeable might know.
Would you please take a picture of the part underneath the collar (lift the collar up and take a picture of what lies beneath) to display the lack of felt under the collar? Thank you.

I think you'd get more flak for paying that much for such a suit that looked like that.

No felt under there, not sure what that means? I've never had a shirt with felt under the collar.

Well, that's good at least haha.

I didn't see that part from Joe actually. This is somewhat unfortunate, waste of good vacation funds I guess. Oh well, I'm too stubborn to get rid of em, so they'll be my business attire while doing web design haha, works for me I guess. However, this motivates me to get a nice suit very soon; after again looking at some pictures I'm pretty much seeing the bad fit. Sucks but ya like Joe said, lesson learned. At least the shirts are decent enough, especially at only $20.00 a piece. Oh, and Eason has NO right saying I look like a Backstreet Boy being baby faced like that. If I'm AJ you're Nick Carter (ps I actually had to look that up on google images to even know the names or the people) and that's 'nuff said. On this note, check out the WAWT in SW&D in a little bit, I'll post some pics of how I like to normally dress. Hopefully the critiquing is a little higher praised!

Sorry - I should have been more specific -- I meant the suit jacket collar. Is there felt under the suit jacket collar? If so, can we see pics of that? You can tell a lot about the quality of the suit from that...

I posted it because he has a suit and a gun, and you were previously talking about a suit and gun. I know the difference between a revolver and a auto. Also while it is a movie his technique is very real. Obviously you know nothing about CCB pistol shooting, it was a classic mozambique.
