Pants look a little tight in the rear, there is some bunching in there. The rest of the suit seems to be ok though.

Sleeve look a tad long on the glen plaid but the rest of the fit is great as well as the fit on the 2nd suit.

I would get a suit made, most of my suits I have now are all custom made and I prefer them to otr.

That is a simple alteration, they can go in and tighten the collar up some so it gives you a better fit.

I prefer a split yolk but a side pleat is also nice.

Your swimming in this, the shoulders are very broad, the sleeves are extreemly long as well. I would say your at least a size too big if not more, I would exchange it, there is no way to fix this with alterations.

No, I have several that are contrasting as far as the body being one color and the collar and cuff being another. I don't think I have even ever seen a shirt that resembles what you have just discribed, sounds kind of odd actually.

Try a shorter tie, or just tying a diffrent knot that will allow you to keep the tie at a proper lenght when finished.

Blue and grey are stapel colors for a first suit, blue especially. It is very versatile and works for many occasions, but a nice med grey would also do the same. I think you are fine to stick with the grey if that is what you want.
