Got my new suit today.

This fabric is amazing, and the fit is very good too. Still need to make a few small tweaks, but overall it is definitely better than my first suit out of the box. One strange thing I noticed is that the shoulders feel a little more unconstructed on this jacket compared to my first suit, even though I picked th same options. I'm fine with it as I like the shoulders on this one better. No pics yet as I have no good natural light left today, but I will try and snap some tomorrow.

I actually just threw on the jacket after work, and hadn't even tried on the pants till just now. They are 100% perfect, zero alterations needed. The only thing I'm getting done on the jacket is a tad more waist suppression and maybe slimming the sleeves just a bit. Everything else is good as is. I'm actually going to try and drop everything off with the tailor during my lunch break tomorrow.

Kent does CMT, so you can buy your own fabric and ship it to the factory to have the suit made. You should check with him if there are any limitations on the weight of the cloth.

There will be some tweeds in the fall/winter fabrics, which will be available in August.

If anyone leans severely to the left in real life, this is what you could look like in a KW suit.
