There are a few areas can be further refined, but I would leave it as it is for a while. The fabric, a Moon tweed, is too loose. Things may change through wearing.

Just my opinion, and I mean no offense, but I am not a fan of the chest that this maker cuts. It looks much too full and the drape falls far too low for my liking. The back and shoulders on the other hand look lovely. With that said, I hope you enjoy the jacket.

It is one of the issues to be fixed. To be precise it is the prob with right piece, that fabrics at the back run to front. The right side panel needs a lift.

Just received a pair of bespoke trousers. Some of my friends think that it is too baggy, some don't.
What do you think about the fit and the overall appearance?

Trouser fit is incredibly subjective. Personally, I’ve always disliked tight, slim fit and low cut trousers. They never suited my stocky build.

With that said, I think those trousers will look great in the right combination. Edit: pleated trousers also naturally get a bit more volume over the thigh. That's part of their purpose. Higher waists also need wider thighs, I think. Trouser width at the bottom looks great to me as well.

Just selected this cloth for an ultra classic navy SB from a ‘new to me’ tailor in NW England. Will post more in future stages.

Definitely not too baggy. Fit is hard to assess, since, as stated prior, mich is subjective, but the pants look quite good
