Nice suit however i think the fabric in your tie does not serve it well. It looks like you have one of these Gentleman's Box type cotton ties and that would best match a linen jacket not refined wool/silk. A litte tie dimple would be a nice touch as well.

I just received my suit from Oliver Wicks. The coat needs a minor alteration to get the collar to sit perfectly flat, but the shirt and pants fit perfectly. The fabric is very nice and overall it is a good purchase. I have strange measurements, 6'1", 44R with long arms and 33" x34" pants. Buying off the rack requires entirely too much tailoring work. This was a great alternative. But here's why I would strongly recommend Oliver Wicks, the customer service. Seriously, in an internet age where you can compare instantly price, fabric color, etc., customer service is what separates this company from many of the others. Without getting into the details, there were some issues with the order that were entirely my fault. But Sabrina at Oliver Wicks, worked very hard to solve the issue and make sure that I was entirely satisfied with my purchase.

Just received my first Oliver Wick suit based upon Kavalier's first assessment and I am very pleased. I purchased a basic very dark brown suit (at night this suit would pass, yes I know brown is not supposed to be evening wear and I'm somewhat conservative in my taste but I am not controlled by those who say no to my yes) as I didn't want to risk this amount of $ on an online suit but upon receiving the suit my worries were put to rest. The length of the pants will have to be shortened by about 1/4 of an inch, big deal, no problem. I'm telling you guys this suit sits on my body better than any suit I own.

For my wedding here in Scotland I had a fully bespoke outfit in the traditional day wear style, so a kilt and tweed jacket and waistcoat. While being measured I asked the tailored to make a note of all my measurements for me and also kept them updated throughout the various fittings I had. That way I can more accurately provide a my measurements with a jacket i know fits. Although kilt jackets are shorter than suit jackets. I still had the tailor give me all the measurements for a suit as well, so I can order online.

Bet too late, but for the others out there, can't go wrong consulting the bride. ;p Second, consider if you want to wear later and could if a tailcoat. Third, kind of like the first, but applies to all suits: consider when worn. If going to be all season in a temperate or warm climate, or run hot, consider a half canvas will be a little cooler. But, a full canvas will mold better than a half and drapes better. Hope this helps.

It looks like a real great suit! It has that nice pattern an I think it is a very nice grey (to me charcoal has to be a shade darker to call it that way but that is a diffrent story)and I do like the style of the sholders and the lapels. It aint exactly cheap, but it doesn't cost the whole lot either, so chances are Iam going to order an Oliver Wicks. However very much a suit I would only wear dark socks with. Regardless of what some hipsters may tell, sockless works only with suits in a very lite color (white!) and then the ones with a very edgy cut (narrow lapels and very slim trouses with a jeanslike cut). If it would be too hot for socks, I would neither wear a suit like this one. :')

Learn to tie your ties with a dimple and it will look much better. Your windsor in this video hangs a bit sad from your neck. If a normal four-in-hand is too flimsy for you try a double four-in-hand for sprezzatura. To your suit... It looks... fine while you stand still. The moment you move its terrible. The armholes look very low. When you raise your arms everything pulls upwards. -> higher armholes The back is untidy between your shoulders. Sleeve pitch is not perfect. The last two things cannot! be fixed by measurements. This has to do with your posture. Online made to measure is not very good at figuring that out unless you give them very specific instructions. The trouser needs a higher rise. Especially for a tall man like you. It looks a bit unproportional otherwise. The trouser legs are slim to the point that the trouser is not draping cleanly over your legs. I think clean lines are more flattering? Have you ever thought about a higher collar for your shirts? You have a long neck wich is accentuated by the low shirt collar. Please dont take this personally. I just cannot stand the phrase "MTM gives you the perfect fitting suit" because it is not true.

MTM is only good if you are measured in person by the people who are making the suit, for the reasons cited above. It's a complicated process that is impossible to be done via the internet. And even when done in person, the results are not guaranteed on the first pass. The idea of getting a perfect fitting suit from the comfort of one's own home is obviously a very seductive one, but in truth it is impossible, especially when you only use 7 or 8 measurements. @The Kavalier, if you want to get a better understanding of the depth of a true MTM process, and fit more generally, I would suggest going to your nearest SuitSupply and signing up for their MTM programme. It's more expensive than Oliver Wicks (and for good reason) - but still substantially less expensive than other B&M outfits. That would also be a great opportunity to get some quality content for your channel. It's something I would definitely tune in for.

“Fit’s well....” not “fit’s good....”. Learn some grammar. Jacket is too short and trouser rise is too low. Should not be a triangle of shirt below buttoning point. Pants too tight and cling. All in all may be currently fashionable but is not a well fitting suit. Nothing “perfect” about the fit of this suit.
