Will a tailor be able to get this to fit well?

I’m mainly concerned about the shoulders, with the sleeve material poking up. There is a lot of fabric bunched up in there, it seems. And then the pants, obviously…

Pics with a proper shirt and shoes will help. But it does look quite large

Too large for a tailor even? Give me a few minutes

There would probably be too much to tailor to be worth your time and money Fixing shoulders is almost always either too expensive or not possible

It feels like they just need to cut out fabric from inside the shoulder. I have no idea what they normally do though

It's not that simple. The general advice is to get a suit that fits in the shoulders. Most other fit issues can be fixed

It’s fits my shoulders perfectly, the jacket is comfortable. It’s the extra material - unless I’m not understanding you Is it just a feature of the jacket? Am I worried about nothing?

Clothes can be comfortable without fitting! Definitely looks like the shoulders are too wide

I'm deferring to beans because he knows more than me

there's a lot happening with the trousers but that's generally fixable

Didn’t want to share this originally cause it’s a mess in there lol Does this help with the shoulder though?

This is way too big And not fixable
awburkey
awburkey8mo ago
this pic is throwing me so much bc the shoulders seem fine here but massive in the other photos this one looks too big to be worth
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
Damn I’m so confused I thought the jacket was fine
pumaturtle

The roping is over the top due to poor sleeve finishing and there is way too much runaway on the shoulder

oh yeah I see it now. The black fabric and lighting are making it tough

Would you recommend I return it? It was $268 on eBay Ermengildo Zegna taglio exlcusivo, the measurements lined up but I guess everything is built differently Should I ask a tailor in person? Not versed on the terms but I assume former is fixable and the latter means the shoulder width is too long and usually not fixable?
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
Neither is fixable Yes return it

Great that’s disappointing Not even worth checking with a tailor?

Puma has the knowledge here, if he says no go it’s safe to assume he’s right It’s his job to know

Don’t let the ‘bad advice giver’ role fool you

I went to my tailor and she said she can get it fixed no problem I’m gonna give it a shot and I’ll post another fit check when it’s done I appreciate the advice though fellas

What is she doing to it??? Is she taking in the center back seam?
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
What would be the purpose of that? Genuinely asking because she will do something in the back to bring in the waist area and that’s what it sounds like
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
Okay your issue isn’t the waist, it’s the shoulders. The jacket is okay through the middle what exactly is she doing to the jacket?
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
She did some shit to the shoulders and it looked better She’s bringing them in Said they are too wide, but fixable
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
oh my charging a lot?
zerodarkwntrgrn

147 I believe Taking the night to think about it
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
That’s not horrible tbh
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
She did a previous jacket of mine I got from goodwill and I think it looks good but I’m scared to show y’all now lol
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
Nah it’s okay! I’m nitpicky because it’s my day job
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
Fair enough
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
Hahaha honestly, it does look a little big but it’s not completely egregious But at the same time, dumping $150+270 into making a jacket look acceptable vs putting that into a new jacket that fits is something to consider
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
The pants were egregious but those are an easy fix It’s a Zegna that I got for $270 off eBay so I figured I’d fight to get it to fit me lol
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
They’re not bad, just a hem Haha zegna fabric or zegna tailoring?
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
It’s old and probably previously tailored
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
It looks like the sleeves were refit
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
Tag says Ermengildo Zegna Taglio Exclusivo
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
It’s a MTM
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
Sold by Bigsby&Kruthers What’s that?
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
which is why it fits in kind of a silly way (not being offensive) Made to measure! Basically custom for someone else
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
Ah well that explains it
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
Yee
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
Let’s hope she can make it less silly looking then
pumaturtle
pumaturtle8mo ago
Haha I’m sure, it sounds like she’s been reliable Is it for a specific event?
zerodarkwntrgrn
zerodarkwntrgrn8mo ago
4 weddings I have coming up lol
