Awesome fit overall, and bomber-jackets are indeed a tough fit. Messages: 8, I think it's a fine, flexible fit. Short A-2s can look v cool, but only if you wear high-waist jeans all the time or you're a Japanese student their jackets barely scrape the top of their hipster jeans, but still look pretty cool. As it is, look at WWII period photos and you'll see that there was no 'standard fit'. It comes down to what you're comfortable with.

If you had purchased this jacket off the stock page I would be congratulating you on a good fit, because it does look good. Since you are dialing in the measurements on a custom one I think it would be worth taking off half an inch of body length. Thuggee and Colin G like this. Great jacket Thuggee. I think it looks great, maybe a tad long in the front like others have mentioned but not so long I would not wear it.
The back length seems perfect. I'd wear that jacket. I like it. Thuggee , Lebowski and nick like this. Messages: 6, Perfection is the enemy of, well, perfection.

Don't get caught looking like a '90s Chicago banker! Your trousers should fit clean through the thigh and somewhat narrow at the bottom — relative to your build. They should also fall clean against your shoe, with a very slight break in the front. Trousers should never ever break at the back of the shoe. Most dress pants come unhemmed, so they have to be hemmed when you first buy them anyway. Make sure your tailor knows you only want a single break.
If they aren't quite right, re-hemming them is an easy fix. The sleeve of your suit jacket should rest just above the hinge where your hand meets your wrist. How to fix it: Sleeve length is another easy fix. If the jacket fits everywhere other than the sleeves, get the sleeves tailored. A tailor can usually shorten or lengthen a sleeve by up to an inch either way.
If you need more than this, a made-to-measure option is best. This is the 1 cardinal sin in tailored clothing! It's not something most people know to look for, but the collar gap is a telltale sign that you are wearing the wrong jacket. This is where there's a space between the collar of your jacket and the collar of your shirt. Your jacket collar should always lay clean and tight against the back of your neck.
How to fix it: If the gap is small a tailor might be able to fix it, though this can be a relatively expensive alteration. Instead, we suggest sizing up or down or trying a different brand. If this is a common issue for you, custom suits are probably your best bet. These are the top things to look for when buying fine tailored clothing. If any of these ill-fitting suit gaffes apply to a garment you are currently wearing, you know who to contact.

I prefer the Italian style of more open quarters, where the front panels sweep away slightly more. This jacket has more open quarters which I like!
Both can accentuate a short length, but the Eidos does less so possibly because of the next reason. The check pattern is amazing and beautiful and lovely, but those horizontal lines and the mid-range brightness value accentuate the width of the jacket, while the length gets no additional help. In comparison, the Eidos jacket, which is dark, and has no pattern, is slimming. Fourth, I think the sleeve length is actually working against me as well. It might sound crazy, but sleeve length dramatically impacts how well a jacket appears to fit.
Many men wear jacket sleeves way too long, and it makes the entire jacket look sloppy as heck, even if it fits okay otherwise.
In the comparison photos, consider how the Eidos sleeves are longer. Lastly, choice of pants and how high their rise is makes a difference. It was the photo below, of me wearing the jacket with my low-rise light-wash jeans, that first made me question the front length.
The distance between the waistband of the jeans and the button of the jacket visually makes the whole thing look short.
My dark jeans worn in every other photo have a rise about an inch higher than those light jeans. And I prefer dress trousers with a rise slightly higher than even that. But that can make an impact on it, too. Your best bet is to get thee to a tailor chop chop! The cause is one of two main things: square shoulders where rtw shirts are all made for regular sloping shoulders ; a broad upper back or prominent scapula stretching the shirt over the shoulder blades.
Other minor anatomical peculiarities often contribute. I have a question…. Hey Jaime — Can you send us a photo of what you mean to concierge blacklapel. Your email address will not be published. Published on February 6, Kanika Sharma says:.
