Not worth the price even though I got it on sale. Just no body in the tie and the silk is very thin. I bought three for my groomsman and kept 1 for myself and now I feel bad for giving them the ties though they probably like that it is Burberry as they are not into #menswear.My Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSs1xkOEoJdPfZ4KRW575qA

[MENTION=10802]DapperDukes[/MENTION] - I agree the jacket sleeves are a little short and your shirt sleeves are a touch too long but I never alter my shirt sleeve length as I can fit OTR pretty easily. I try to show a sliver to half and inch of shirt sleeve when wearing a jacket but you have a solid inch plus showing.

Personally, I'd like to show a little bit edge of my shirt when wearing a sweater.
Also, know your go-to inseam with regards to dress pants - be it full break, half or none at all.
Yours right now is a tad too long.5' 6" | 143 lbs | 29x30 pants | 36S jacket | 14.5 shirt | 8 shoe size

Originally posted by connersw View PostDid you supply the measurements, or did the tailor actually pin you? Did you also have the waist taken in? If the tailor actually pinned you, I would take it back and have it fixed. The sleeves do look a tad too short, and it also looks a bit too tight in the waist (could just be the way you are holding your arms).

Actually the pants are at the proper length and just barely touch the show in front it's just that while the rise on the pant is high it doesn't go above the widest part of my hips and has a tendency to slide down slightly when I move about. I can't get a smaller waist size without muffin topping. [emoji29]
While I think showing some shirt can look good, I'm not the biggest fan of it.Last edited by blueburp; January 7, 2016, 12:47 PM.

^^^ Yep. That's what made me think they might have gone a bit overboard in tightening up the waist. Bunching/bagging in the chest, then the start of the dreaded X at the button. Letting the waist back out slightly would let everything hang and drape more evenly.
Bending your arm to take a selfie like that can make any jacket do crazy things though, so seeing it with the arms down would give a better indication. It's also a JCF so it will never hang perfectly.
