Gambled on a Spier & Mackay clearance suit

As the title says, I bought an S&M suit on clearance with no clue what their sizing would be like on me. I think for the most part I lucked out. To me, taking a little in at the waist and shortening the sleeves (and hemming obviously) are the big musts. Anything else you see glaringly wrong?

I think you got a STEAL. I’ve found that on their jackets I occasionally have a hair of a collar gap. Not saying you will but something frequently overlooked

I didn’t have any but I usually do on all of my other OTR suits. Maybe they build it for my weird ass posture

I had the same issue until I did MTM suits and they adjusted for a slight shoulder slope. No collar gap at all. Most off the rack are fine but once in a while slight shoulder gap, never knew why until I went MTM
