Guys i just try out a suit , the shoulder length is fine unfortunately its a little big at the sleeves down to my wrists. any advice?

as long as the sleeve buttons are not working ones, a tailor should be able to alter it

the suit doesn't look right to me and i can't seem to pin point it. i only have this picture. anyone help, recommend. this is the only clue.

You cant expect someone who button both buttons to get the suit right...

isn't the blazer a little too long too? and don't you button both since u made a blazer with two buttons. i mean he isn't sitting down is he?

yeah looks a bit too long for me. pants seem slightly baggy

Yes. and NO.

If you can't pinpoint what's wrong with this suit maybe you should spend a bit more time looking before going for your first bespoke suit..

^ what he said.

To help you out a little, pants probably look baggy because it is just too long. Read previous pages and look at some good pics of how pants length should be.

And the jacket length is again, too long.

Looks totally OTR to me..

OTR is actually not that bad, if you look around you can find those more slim cut modern fit types. Even with surgeon cuff etc etc for under RM500. As for the fit, u have to try around, so many brands so many different cutting... u might get lucky and get 1 that fits u and 90% of the Msian cant tell the difference between a bespoke and an OTR anway.

i made the mistake of buying an OTR suit with working sleeve buttons :S

they're about 1-1.5" too long for me. i've visited a lot of tailors in my area and they all said it can't be altered because of the sleeve button holes.

anyone know of a place that can fix this? spent so much time researching about buying suits and never came across anything about the working button thing

The common way is to unbutton the lowest button for 3 buttons and 2 buttons suits.

And what do you guys think about 1 button suit? is it a proper suit for real men? or just kpop style wannabe?

Single button has been around since the 1920s'. Whatever K'pop, Jpop, Marc Jacobs, slim crap everyone calls it, recycles designs from yesteryear with new cutting.

wow, never knew about that. i do notice that fashion industry is a cycle over time, never thought it applies on suits as well

what about dress shoes? lace open or closed? to go with your suit..

basically i want a dress shoe that goes hand in hand when it comes to formal occasions or casual business attire...pls reply thanks

for staple dress shoe you can look no further than black oxford captoe.

Can i wear slip ons or laced? Is it Really necessary to wear laced shoes? Or can i wear slip ons with the suit?
I dnt want to be able to wear the shoes only when i wear a suit

Pls advice as i have to get 1 by tmrw thanks

Anyway, still new to this... Its my first suit

Try reading the shoe thread. I have a feeling you didnt read thru it.
