I agree with you though, and like I mentioned before, some use will always help you assess the piece better as well as let it mold on you a bit. <br /><br />In this case I think the ultra thin wool also has a lot to do with the pockets showing, along with my stance in this picture.<br /><br />Anyway, have a good Wednesday evening and best regards from Finland,<br />TNFThe Nordic Fithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294620136950174362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164734866355631103.post-4831562732900952852012-09-11T19:22:33.428+03:002012-09-11T19:22:33.428+03:00Hey NF, don't take any notice of Mr Negative. ...Hey NF, don't take any notice of Mr Negative. The suit is a perfect fit on you, the pockets are visible slightly on the trouser but this emphasises a good strong upper leg - nothing to be ashamed of and possibly not one of the features of Mr N.

Anyway, I think the jacket itself is well in balance now, and a lower buttoning point would ruin it. I personally prefer classic suits, but with a strong shape.

Fit is subjective to every individual. My opinion is if you have the body to pull of a slim suit never settle for any other "of the rack" fit(unless of course you go bespoke). Of course, I don't like the other extreme, like those skinny ass fashion suits Dior started to make a few years back and now are copied by cheap brands like Zara&coAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164734866355631103.post-72312486369954003362012-08-28T11:23:58.387+03:002012-08-28T11:23:58.387+03:00Hello Sir,

The tad high buttoning stance is a personal preference along with the jacket length (I have to say I don't think this jacket is THAT short though), and I know that some people won't agree with it. That's really all I can say to that. <br /><br />However, you're totally right about this being a bit tight on the upper torso and my upper legs. I will probbaly let out both a bit, but I prefer to wear stuff for a few times before I make any final alterations (especially when there's a lot of sports planned for the near future). I personally think this way you get the feel of what needs to be changed better leading to a more satisfying result. Here the legs will need more room (especially with the workout coming up), but I need a bit more wear with the jacket before I'll decide what to do.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for your comments, it's appreciated.The Nordic Fithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294620136950174362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164734866355631103.post-19434369678129345992012-08-28T10:22:06.206+03:002012-08-28T10:22:06.206+03:00Not trying to hate, but I think the Suit does not ...Not trying to hate, but I think the Suit does not fit you well. The buttoning stance isn't doing your physique any favor, so does the short jacket. Also, there is some serious lapel bowing going on, indicating that the chest is too tight for you.<br />The pants are really to tight, even when you are standing the pockets are visible. Can you sit down in those pants?<br /><br />I have been following your blog for quite a while now, and it strucks me everytime. <br />I would suppose you stop buying stuff and first learn abit about fit. <br />This will really save you "some green ones". <br /><br />Again: I am not trying to hate or something, just want to be helpful. <br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164734866355631103.post-54904088199392390152012-08-28T09:48:57.571+03:002012-08-28T09:48:57.571+03:00Good morning,

Furthermore, they had two different kinds of grey Cavalieres, this one being more expensive. The cheaper one was more structured and lacked the nice soft lines and especially the shoulder construction this one has. I wish it was MTM, but still as a student as my main occupation I'm afraid not yet in a few years.<br /><br />Hopefully that helped.

This is defin...Hello and thanks for your interest,<br /><br />This is definitely a good basic grey suit, and I got mine from Sauma in Helsinki. They let me size down one with the jacket to get the shoulders right, which also affected how it sits on me. The buttoning point is about 1-1.5cm higher than the 'average' and the length perhaps 2cm from covering my whole rear. <br /><br />I actually prefer my jacket to be like this, as I see that it helps me look a bit taller, and you can see the same thing in most of my jackets. :)<br /><br />Hopefully that helps a bit.The Nordic Fithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294620136950174362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164734866355631103.post-3675506821791294052012-08-28T00:46:24.923+03:002012-08-28T00:46:24.923+03:00I was wondering the same thing, I entered on the c...I was wondering the same thing, I entered on the cavaliere site and from the current colection all they have on the site are sportcoats.
