^ that portfolio looks like it's done a good job for a long time. I've been looking for something like that... make?

Threadbearer: It seems like the lower edge of the shoulder straps was left too long, so it bunches up there, while the upper edge is shorter and lies flat along your back. That, or the angle at which they leave the yoke. Or some combination thereof. Maybe if you tightened them the bulge would disappear.
I don't know how tall you are, but I had the same problem.
You will have to either shorten the elastic bit and/or move the trouserbuttons down, which is what SH did on mine.
Thurston will also size the suspenders for a bit extra, just email them before buying.
Suit fabric is too thin... Seriously, though, I think the yoke is too high.
I have the same color Thurston ones, however the back is much, much shorter. Maybe it has to do with the size? I got XL ones because I am tall and I don't really wear my trousers at belly button level. Maybe get the button placement on your trousers closer to the front center so they lay down better at the back.
Shoes and portfolio:
Don't like this one. Sleeves are too short, shoulders look a little snug, too many shades of blue there, dandy pocket square.
Yesterday to see Cindy Sherman exhibit at the Modern:
even at "events" such as the symphony ... I see guys wearing what you mentioned.
Napoli Tuesday :
Kiton 13.2 micron suit
Finamore black label shirt
Cesare Attolini untipped tie
Rubinacci "Victory" square
(DC Lewis "Matthew" dubmonks)
Fit critique?
Some questions that spring to mind:
-Is the length is ok?
-Slim the arms abit?
-Some tapering? Mainly at the thigh/knee area
-Nip the waist more? or maybe its because I've been used to tightly fitted jackets...

I don't like those roped shoulders with your body type and they look a little bit on that jacket. Not sure if the chest is a bit large as well. The sleeves in and of themselves look a little large. Not sure how much of that has to do with the shoulders though. That tie doesn't work with that color combo.
