What sort of cloth did you go for? Did you go for the extra features like working cuffs and pick stitching?

1. Try sitting down in your new trousers. Do you feel the fork cutting into your family jewels? (Tell him you plan on having children later.) And the thighs: Are they too constricted by the trousers? Are the trousers too tight around the waist? AL likes to cut very tight fitting trousers. I suggest you try side adjusters (no belt loops). Most people have never tried them. And let him make the pants very short, like just touching your shoe. This will be the last time you'll see your pants before they are done. Mine never has any back pockets.
2. Wear your favourite shirt and a good pair of dress shoes to the fitting. Essential.
3. Use your forefinger and press on 6 points along the shoulder seam. Every point should have your flesh directly below it, none should be unsupported.
4. Make sure the lapel crease on both sides are not jutting out. They should be very close to your chest. Use a finger and press on the opening of the lapel, where your shirt shows. Gap between lapel and shirt should be minimal, about 4mm at most.
5. Make sure the jacket collar grips your shirt collar. Zero gap.
The others are visible and should show up in the photos.
This should be stickied too. Thanks mate for taking the time to do a checklist. I still hope that I can make it tomorrow, if not, it will be delayed for yet another week.
