if you had one arm but wanted to get a tailor made suit would you get them just to leave out the spare sleeve?

Answer 1

As a tailor, I would definitely advise to create a fully designed jacket. Most clients I have had with a partial body defect gets the suit tailored around the defect. Just like another replied mentioned, creating a fully design jacket creates balance. With a one arm jacket, you would not get the right fit. The other arm will have to be attached to the side of the jacket. Take a look at our site www.tailorontheroad.com and contact us via email [e-mail].

Answer 2

If I was going through all the trouble and expense of getting a tailor made suit I would have the tailor make it with only one arm. Maybe it would be a little cheaper because they wouldn't have to use as much material and it would take less time.

Answer 3

Because of how suits are generally constructed, it would be best to have at least part of a sleeve attached. Having no sleeve would give an awkward look of no balance, but a 4-6 inch sewn flat sleeve would balance out the suit.

Answer 4

if you don't ever wear a prosthetic arm, you could have it made without the extra sleeve. That would make it an original design and you could be sure to have admiration of the crowd! Go with what works for you!

Answer 5

I would ask the tailor for advice. I'm sure the tailor would have encountered similar, unusual fittings before in his years. That is, after all, what a tailor does.

Answer 6

No, I would keep the spare sleeve and pin it to my trousers.
That way, it would give an illusion of the missing arm.

Answer 7

yes i would leave off the spare sleeve

Answer 8

yes
