Get the vest remade but FIRST, send a pic directly straight on. I think your shoulders might be protruding a tad. If so, have Indo remake the entire jacket.

Yeah, It looked like the shoulders were too tight as well, but it's hard to tell from the pictures.

 

[tvobach]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will definitely reach out to Indo on the vest...

Here is a picture of the jacket from the front.

Shoulders seem fine to me.

Soon to be wifey is at work/lives 80 miles away haha (not for much longer, obviously)

But, with all due respect A, I'm 95% sure the shoulders fit well. Going to go to the tailor and get the sleeves/pants hemmed this week.

Also...just because I am in the giving mood (and because I won't be buying a suit for a while)...

1st person to PM me, I'll give you a $50 off your next purchase on a suit at Indo...please only PM me if you're actually going to use it...it only lasts so long.

Alright boys.

Let's take it back a little bit to about four weeks ago...

I posted these pictures of my suit (that I already owned) that I was planning on wearing to my wedding on September 20th...

BEFORE







And was proceeded to get hated on...(can't blame you guys)...

Well, looked at some resources, (big shout out to @Pinoy732
) and ordered the same colored suit from Indochino.

Just received it from the fine folks at Fedex this afternoon. Threw it on immediately.

AFTER






A few things/questions:
-Vest seems too short (or is this how they are suppose to fit?)
-Suit needs ironed/steamed obviously
-A different undershirt/tie will be worn for wedding
-Other than that, love the fit. Definitely feels a lot more snug than my old suit...just overall feels a lot better.
-Are the sleeves too long?

Your guys' thoughts on what can be improved?

Vest is definitely too short. The info suits should have enough between the end of the sleeve and first button (as they are likely functional buttons) to shorten 1/4"-1/2". Otherwise the alteration to shorten from the sleeve is pricey.

Take advantage of the $75 alteration credit for sure and get the pants hemmed and possibly tapered.

Chill famb.

Shoulders may be snug by about 1/2" if so maybe consider a remake.

When's the wedding?

 

[pinoy732]

I mean, if you bout it, then by all means.

I'm just saying if you have time for a remake, it's worth taking advantage of.


Side note, famb my wedding invite is coming in that Adidas order you forwarded to me right? I already copped da bread maker.

Put in for a remake today. Turnaround for it can be 4 weeks so just play it safe. I would try and get the jacket remade as well with a 1/2" adjustment to shoulders. If you get the remake and it doesn't fit as well as the first one, just send back the remade one with the vest.

Looks great man

Appreciate it my dude. Jason did a tremendous job on everything. Had everyone saying we looked better than the bridesmaids 

Very welcome. I'm a big fan of TaT, wish they made suits in larger sizes

Crazy how the brand has grown, I remember a few years back when dude had a few messenger bags (which he included a hand written message for each order as a nice touch) sold at a handful of stores and now he has countless bags and accessories and even his own brand of shirts all in 5 years time.

[hennessy]

Salty I missed the BR. If anyone ends up not using that hit me up.

 

[grizzlyboy]

I received an email saying that I only needed to reserve the items online and then come in store. Once there just tell them you received the email and they would apply the discount
