Suit is fully-canvassed, hand-stitched English wool made by Mr.Kwong of Kwong Fook Wing.

Ideal armhole height: One measures the armpit level with a measuring tape then add a certain amount. 2 cm is the minimum to add.

But the armhole is as much about geometry as about height. It needs to be scooped to clear the shoulder joint. Every jacket should have an armhole shape dictated by the customer's body.

Re: sleeve rotation. This is such common knowledge even otherwise clueless SF fan cheongs know this.

The weight of cloth is given in either ounces per square yard or grams per square meter. Super 100 or 150 or 200 refer to the diameter of the individual wool fiber that make up the cloth. Since there is not a single strand of wool in that jacket using Super whatever to describe it is quite embarrassing. One says "that is a 8 oz cloth" or "that is a heavy 12 oz linen" to describe the weight of cloth. Super whatever refers to how soft and fine the cloth feels, as in, "Dude, you should try sliding that Super 220 back and forth on your bare scrotum. The last time someone did that he spent 10 minutes in the fitting room and came out wiping the jacket with a tissue."

2nd fitting at Wardrobe.... starting to get a little dissapointed at how things going.. haiz... and they dont even have any hot customer service ladies..

1) Does the button stance seems a bit on the high side?
2) The shoulder pads they forgot to trim it, so its jutting out like I'm playing NFL.
3) They will slim down the sleeves.
4) Waist area still too wide, slimming it down further.

Any other comments guys?

The jacket is too short by 1.5" all around. It is already very waisted, I would not suppress any further.

They actually managed to more or less clean up the sleeves.

The armholes are quite low.

If they lengthen the jacket it will actually turn out reasonably well. It will be a suit with considerable visual impact, though it will never be something a good tailor would be particularly proud of.

Thankfully, your wife ain't that bad. What does she like?

Oh, i'm sure she's absolutely hot. Apparently she likes me, go figure

i will leave the jacket to the experts.

the pants could be slimmed down slightly, no? seems like there is some excess cloth.

on another note, not particularly fond of that shirt.

Hmm... I did try to slim down the pants further, but after he pin it up, sitting down turned into a very unpleasant experience.

As for the shirt, my wife bought it for me once upon a time.. so i rather not comment.

leave the pants as they are, then take them to another tailor for alteration.

Deviously rotate it out of rotation.

Something major is about to happen to the sartorial world...

(bumi bergempar)

...that's why it's raining so hard now ... the sign of rebirth...

i feel the earth move under my feet
i feel the sky tumbling down

... or something to that effect?

something vaguely like that

will ask my public relations manager to make official press release when its official

Wondering.... where do you keep your mobile and car keys when you are wearing your suit. Pants pocket? Jacket pocket?

ps : No, I dont use a handbag....

Car keys with chauffeur

Mobile with butler

put them in your wife's handbag

HP in wife's handbag? You must still be single.... otherwise you will be very soon.
