I'm torn between posting this here or on the Q&A thread. But anyway, just got a custom suit tailored and pretty pleased of the result except for the shoulder pads. I feel that it's too wide about 0.5-1 inch. What do you think? Where should shoulder pads sit anyway? Never mind the t-shirt and the girl room.

Dan138,
Sorry dude - but as best I can tell from that photo the shoulders are about 2" too wide on each side. This cannot be fixed without a total redo.
looks good. as mentioned, undo top button. I'd keep the color combo but switch out teh satin tie to something with more pattern in it and a pocket square would go a long way here. also lowish armholes are revealed! definitely above average though.

This was an unnaturally low angle which is not very flattering. I'll crack out the tripod next time.
you haz learned much! color combo seems off somehow, but fit is generally good. either it's the camera angle or maybe that SC could use some waist shaping...

suit/sportscoat shoulder should end... where your shoulder end! maybe a little more, but basically around the edge of your shoulder.

before I clicked on Spoo's spoiler I read your comment and it sounded soooo dirty.
You know its a rough night, and tough shoe circle, when even one of the guys who was there gets it wrong.
I was still a bit soggy, dude. Forgive me.

My shoes were black. But my pants were pink. Does that negate the black shoe thing?

Thank you - Marinella, not Drakes - and are you asking me inadvertently if it is bigger than a babys arm?

Yes, grown mens style, but I got that from PG... did you use that phrase? If so, evidence please that you predated PG's bRog references to it and royalties will be paid.

I'm a little confused here. Where is this so-called "end of shoulder"? just before the shoulder starts to curve/slope down to my arm? or right at the edge of the 90 degree angle? Sorry for my broken English :/
What about the shape of the pads? Are those too boxy? Too roped? Should I remove the pads altogether? Sorry if I seem too anxious. Gonna attend a big event next week and just want to look my best
Exactly where your shoulder "ends" is flexible due to personal taste and head/shoulder size. But general around where your shoulder bone "ends", no more than 1/2" inch beyond or so.

The coat looks like it may be a size (or two) too big. Take a better shot in better light and we may be able to help more.
Gold stars today to Pandarts, Spoo, IST, NDW, and PG. No time to go through them all tonight, but looking good all.

Thanks Spoo just been spending some time going over my wardrobe again and expanding into areas I once was a bit apprehensive to venture into. As long as there's stress in my days there will be a smoke in my hand
@ master-classter Thank you sir I appreciate your kind words.
OK guys, here's some better pics for you to decide whether the jacket, particularly the shoulders, is/are too big or not. Never mind the bulgy knot, button-down with tie, and the unironed pants. I was in a rush. Also added 2 pics of lower body part for you to judge. By the way, how to make knit tie knot less bulgy? Warning: Spoiler!(Click to show)

Forget the bulgy knot, how did you go from black to white?
