With that last suit I bought, I had to pull out the receipt and show them the guarantee. Even then they tried to convince me that "that's the way it supposed to fit". Sure it is....

Did the alterations work out for you? They never tailored the suit how I asked even though I went back twice. I find that if I go bargain hunting on a suit and pay a bit more to have it extensively tailored I come out happier in the end. (with more compliments to boot!)
