Hello ma'am. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I know that personally, we do everything we can to fit our clients correctly. I've worked for Tip Top for 2 years, in St. John's Newfoundland and in Halifax. Fit is not subjective on a professional level, however it is most definitely subjective on a personal level. I find it very strange to have the sleeves be a full four inches too short - that type of variance is nigh impossible unless your sons stand well over 6'6". The sleeve on a jacket, when the gentleman is at rest, should break within 1" of the wrist. The cuff of the shirt should be showing. Most North American men wear a suit size too large for them, unfortunately. Also, to have the chest measure four inches (which would be a full two sizes) too large and concurrently have the sleeves be four inches too short (which would be nearly four sizes) - means that either the employee you dealt with was untrained, or that your opinion of the sleeve length/jacket fit is skewed. In the future, I hope you have better luck, and I'm sorry to hear you were unable to receive the assistance you required.
