You may reduce the divots and the wrinkles under the collar by letting out a bit from the center seam. You also need to let out the waist from both sides to reduce the wrinkles on your waist.
Did you tell the tailor you need a "slim suit"? If you did, try not say that again.

thats what i thoguht too.. letting out the center seam would help with teh side divots.. but i know nothing of tailoring. it probably wouldn't do much about the divots on top of the shoulders though huh?

i believe i told the tailor i want something of an "athletic cut" suit. whatever that means....

something that would accentuate my more athlethic physique???

Day 1 pm : first trial. they had part of the suit complete ( 1 sleeve, etc. ).  However, the color of the royal blue fabric i chose i was not happy with, so i insisted that they scrap the suit and change the color to navy blue. I asked if i need to come in for more fittings and htey said no, they'll replicate based on the royal blue fitting. 


I find this hilarious for some reason.

I think you will be fine if you let the suit out just a little but. You have a problem I have, bigger triceps. Looking at your pictures your triceps stick out a lot past your shoulder. Its a tough thing to get right on suits, but having the shoulder go just a little bit beyond your natural should line, if the suit is made correctly will help. But for this suit if you like the style just get it taken out a little bit, it will help on the divoting caused by the chest being too tight and the undesired pulling.
