who moved the front buttons? it does not look right the buttons are too close the pockets.
the front lap is too wide for the suit. put the buttons back to the smaller lap and take in the sides.
thats the way it should have been done. it will look much better.
remove the jacket and check the trousers in a mirror. grab hold of top of the waistband and lift up.
thats what it needs. but it may be uncomfortable when you sit down.
wish we had a better look at the trouser without the jacket.
i see that you like narrow tapered trouser legs. but look at the right shoe in the front view.
the very narrow legs make your feet look huge.
although for some reason women like men with big feet.
Any suggestions? Are the shoulders okay on this one or should I just go with the size 38?I got a great deal on this zegna suit but I just don't know if its my size. Basically, this is my problem. My chest measures 40 inches, but I normally wear a size 38 because I like a slim fit. The shoulders and chest on a 38 are usually a bit too tight. After trying on this size 40R, it is more comfortable, but it just seems too big all around.
Any suggestion on what to do to make it fit right?
Also, from the pics, can you tell if I have sloped shoulders? I've always been a bit curious about that but I can't tell for the life of me
Any comments would be appreciated. Also, could you tell me why I get some wrinkles at the back of my thigh on the trousers? I don't think they're too tight there, but they bunch up like that when I stand. I plan on discussing more with my tailor about this after seeing your comments.

Executed alterations as marked in red from previous post. The problem was largely the disproportionate suppression distribution on the front versus the back, and that the back was 1cm too long just above where the ribcage ends. Also shrunk out the blobby bit between the upper shoulder blades. Going to sew up the side and start working on paring down the scye and installing the sleeve.
It looked shortened but wanted to know from you. I think you would have been better served putting all the alteration money into a suit that was better sized to you in fit and length.
The way you get the wrinkling to go away under your seat is to lower the waistband on the back part and make the back lower in relationship to the front. It is not about wearing the trouser lower, it's about lifting the back up in relation to the front rise. There is actually another step to do it properly. After you remove the waistband on the back part, open the side seam (which side seam?) and take only the back part in 3/4" at the top (Does this mean shorten at the top?) and taper into the lower thigh almost to the knee. That helps lift the back part up and straightens the line of the seat.The waist is let out at the center back the amount you reduce at the side seam. That's the way it is done. The result will make the back look clean.
