I need a suit for a wedding. Having perfect fit is very important to me. But I think I screwed up. Pics included. I would like to hear if there is any error in the fit, also any suggestions on returning, seeing a tailor, different suit, etc. Thank You.

Suit specs:
Tommy Hilifiger
40 Long (Classic Fit)

My checklist:
Great Fit
Navy Blue
Under $350
Decent quality preferred.

Post a full body shot; can't tell much from the ones you've currently posted.

Suit jacket looks a hair tight, as evidenced by the creasing at the buttons. I suggest having a tailor let it out, otherwise looks good to my eye, perhaps some waist suppression.

I also suggest posting this in the The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions thread, they will be able to give you better fit feedback than I can. Include a picture of the rear of the jacket and full length picture of the pants.

I see what you mean about the crease. Good find. Can you link me that thread please?

Pant hem too short.

Have the tailor hem it so that it is longer in the heel and there is just a single break in the front crease.
