Hey Dappers,
I just got my tweed navy-check suit from Indochino, the Diplomat. I'm looking for tailoring suggestions. To me, there's a lot wrong with it, but I can't quite put my finger on it. The material is quite nice, but in typical Indochino fashion (ha ha), it feels droopy and unstructured. It also looks a bit 'off'.
My thoughts,
- Jacket is too long. Looks like an old man cut. It covers my butt and then some. Definitely not a Ludlow lookalike.
- Button stance is too low
- Shoulders are too big
- Too much room in the body. My Ultimate Grey did the same thing, but after having it taken in, the lapel does a funky roll now.
Do you think it can be saved? I'm not even sure which measurements should come in by how much. I'm tempted to just scrap it and ask for a full refund. It's a nice material and definitely unique, but I'm not sure I could pull it off in my corporate law firm work environment (even though we are corporate hipster).
