First suit. Help judge the fit, please.

Thread Starter 
I bought this suit today. It is OTR, not the most expensive one either. Trousers need to be shortened and taken in the waist. I don't want to bother with the jacket. Do you think this is good enough for occasional going out? Could someone judge the fit, please? I would be very-very grateful. Don't be soft. ) Thanks!! P.S. Sorry for the quality of the pics. I had no one to help. And for some reason, the buttoned robot shot from the front didn't go through. Just noticed. Is this going to be enough?

The jacket is a size too small. Return.

Are you going to the Immortal concert? They are on tour in the US. I know for sure they are gonna be performing in LA.

I disagree. I think it looks good as a going out suit. Where's it from?

I re-disagree.

Also, too shiny for my liking.

I would love to visit the Doom Occulta family, but I haven't time to get to Brooklyn to see them. I tried to see Mayhem on their last tour too, to no avail.

I rarely say this... but overall looks a little on the tight side. There's a difference between slim and fitted and "too tight". Not terrible overall but maybe a bit over the line. Also the "shiny" fabric is kindof throwing me off. What's really throwing me off is that shirt color, is way off. Try a light pink shirt and a white pocket square. Plus a dress belt. That belt and buckle are too thick, ie making them more like dressy casual, not suit and tie See the X pulling in the fabric where the top button is as it's done up? See on the side shot how the back flap is kicking out? see on the back shot at the top near the collar the fabric in the middle is strained? needs to be let out a bit there - both are signs that this needs to be taken out a bit along the back.

Too small. I can see when you have your arms crossed that it's pulling and would feel tight. No good.

I think the jacket looks a little strained in its fit... but I'm more concerned with the french blue shirt ...aaaah,, ahhhh too dark!

Jacket pulls at the waist and does not cover buttocks. Return or write off.

Thanks. I guess I pick everything too tight lately. Unfortunately, if 38R is too tight, then 40R is going to be too loose. The story of my life. I guess, I really need to go MTM, otherwise I'm doomed.

Don't hate on the shirt/belt/shoes, as I was wearing that shirt/belt/shoes with jeans and a gray sweater. I just put the suit on to make the shots.

I've seen Dimmu Borgir with my then-gf about 8 years ago. It was O.K., but nothing special. However, the Therion concert I've attended exceeded all my expectations and them some. It was simply AWESOME. I'm not going to see Immortal though. ) Tears For Fears and Goldfrapp sound more interesting at this point in time.

It's from H&M. I like that they have cheap and slim fitting stuff. However, I have no clothes from them, because nothing seems to fit me right. I always end up buying from more expensive brands. And this suit follows the tradition. While it does look a tad better in life, I can see what some of the members pointed out. For example, the back flap kicking out. I definitely see that now.

Sorry for the hate, its just my personal feeling.... but, have you tried on any 39R sizes? I know brooks brothers has that size.
