    I've only visited MW once but it was long enough to see that they're not very knowledgeable about things sartorial. That said, I'm not quite sure I understand the 'problem' you are referring to.

    What I'm trying to say is that they are the most aggressive salesmen I've ever seen and they put in a suit size that's 2 sizes smaller than what my normal is and ring me up for it... The suit fits me but it feels a little tight on the shoulders for me

    No, I'm 6'-4" and never smile. They don't do that to me. Don't let them do it to you either. Talk to a manager.

    Sounds like they squeezed you into a suit that doesn't fit. Return it and find another shop to patronize.

    well the suit fits around me and buttons with out stress or looking like its stretching but the shoulders feel tight when i lift my arms at 110 degree angle above my head.... maybe its just me from not wearing a suit in a while and forgetting how a suit feels but it feels comfortable on everything else except when i lift the shoulders.... the cuffs on the sleeves meet right at the ends of my wrists and they retract back half way to my forearms when i lift them forward.... that seems normal right?

    A suit that's uncomfortable to wear is not normal. At least not for me...

    they took it to a tailor to fix the sleeves on the pants to make it meet the shoe line so i will see again how its final fit is when i recieve it...

    how can i say this.... its snug but its not the murdering restricting me from movement tight just snug on me to seem slin and the sleeves are down at the joint of where my hand and wrist connect and the shoulders are wrapped around mine but get a snug feel when i lift my arms up... this seems normal to you guys right? i have no knowledge of trying to get a suit as i am new to trying to get these things, and if it is too tight will they let me trade outa jacket bigger than that one?
