Apologies in advance if this has been answered already, but I did a bunch of searching and didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
I've started a quest to find one or more decent OTR suits that fit me well enough to start building my collection. I've been looking at a lot of the common mentions in the $500+ range on these and other forums (such as BB 1818, JAB Signature Gold, Hickey Freeman, CT Luxury, etc.) in an effort to find the best fit. I have gotten some tips from my tailor who has helped with some of my existing suits, but I wanted to know if anyone could explain common issues with fit along with a rank or description of how complex the repair could be. I've seen lists of the basics (e.g. shoulders, collar, sleeve & jacket length, etc.) but after I find a jacket that fits well in the shoulders, back and collar, what are the next things to be concerned about in terms of tailoring complexity cost?
For example, I tried on the CT Classic fit which fit me pretty well in the shoulders and chest, but had some bunching down the arms and some slight rolling/bunching under the arms. Compared with BB 1818 Madison, the shoulders, collar, back and arms looked decent, but they had some odd wrinkling across the chest.
In short, I'm trying to figure out what issues can I live with because they can be remedied easily/cheaply, what issues can still be remedied but are going to be more costly and what issues are more or less deal breakers.
Thanks in advance!
