A bit of comment here if you don't mind.

1. It's too short. Tom Ford did comment on an article that men's jacket should cover their butt and I couldn't agree more.

2. Jack doesn't look like its a good fit. Too lose around the waist.

3. Shoulders are too stiff. I prefer it slightly looser. If it's 120 wool it should float better.

This suit is from Lord's Tailor..

Here are some pictures from my suit fitting today..

It is a grey-coloured wool suit:
-Two-button jacket with notched lapel, centre-back vent and four-button detail at cuffs.
-Single chest welt pocket, flap welt pockets at the jacket waist. Interior has three pockets.
-Flat-front pants with a lower rise, angled front pockets and buttoned back welts.
-Modern fit, slim-cut, lower-rise pants.

*Due to the use of camera flash, the colour varies a little..

wat about EA suits?
*
EA use to make really good suits but the designs are not really classic nowadays. Its become a bit too trendy for my liking. i.e. the jacket is short and too narrow. But the quality has not changed.

I used to have 2 EAs. I've moved to PS now, they got some exotic material. I bought a suit with mohair mix with wool recently. Its so light and soft. GA is just too expensive to consider but very good cuts and material.
