I'm curious to know what I could do to improve each:
The suit: This was my first "real" suit, in that it didn't come from a thrift store or eBay. When I got it a year ago, I took it to a tailor to have it fitted, but I didn't know what to ask for (I think I asked him to take in the jacket a little at the sides). I thought it fit me pretty well, but then I discovered Style Forum... Now, when I put it on, it feels almost baggy, and way boxier than I'd like. I don't know how much of this is the fit and how much is just the way it's cut (or lack thereof -- it's of the cheaper ones from Jos. A. Bank). In particular, I'm more convinced than ever that the jacket is too long. I'm 5'11", and the salesman insisted that the regular length jacket looked too short on me, so I bought a long instead. Is it worth taking back to a tailor to have re-fit, or is it beyond help?
