Does this suit fit well?

Hi all, I'm new to the more refined aspects of wearing a suit and am looking for comments on how this suit fits me. I put a few pictures below. It feels a tad tight sometimes when I'm wearing it and moving around, but it is a slim fit suit so maybe this is the current style? Thanks!

*Edit: sorry I don't know how to make the images appear in the thread.

*Edit2: added links to pictures.

I am certainly not opening those links. One post does not give me any confidence about them.

I'm not sure what all the skepticism is about, but I added links to the images so no downloading is required. Thanks!

I am afraid it's hard to tell from the pics - take a look at the pics WAYWRN and perhaps post some more pics. Shirt certainly does not fit well though; collar is too wide.

Have someone take a picture of you at chest height from about 10 feet away and in natural light. That will give the folks here a better angle to judge your fit by.

I'm not a fan of the tie, I wore something very similar to my high school prom back in 2004. Like other have said check out the WAYWRN thread and learn.

And welcome to the forum, the people here are brutally honest but VERY helpful...

My guest is the waist could be nipped a little bit. everything seems fine.

Please do not wear a black suit unless for funeral. A bad choice for everyday suit but said a staple for the collection.

No, it doesn't fit. I'd say it's a size too large.

I also agree, the shirt collar fits terribly.

Not easy to tell from four views essentially the same which only show the coat.

Don't worry about black suits, they can be worn whenever the advice on funerals is wrong. However avoid the subject here because it excites great and unresolved debate.

A suit should feel snug (but not tight) for ease of movement. If it's too big you will ironically feel like you can't move because it will be pulling at all the wrong places.

That jacket does indeed look big on you, at least a full size...

I did open the links , so far everything's fine except for the waist area that probably needs tapering.

I disagree. If a suit truly fits well, the wearer should barely feel it at all.
