The fit is great. I'd shorten the sleeves a bit more. However, I'm not the biggest fan of the styling. You have a big head ( I do too, so I pay attention to that) and the smaller lapels are just not flattering it. The suit looks great, but it would look even better if the lapels were wider.

It's not bad for RTW.

Whilst braces are good, these trousers are not suitable - belt loops and somewhat too tight. Need to be slightly more relaxed in seat and thighs.

Shoulders a bit small, button stance too high perhaps. Sleeves a little long. Otherwise ok.

+1 on the button stance - maybe a bit high. and, as everyone else said, the sleeves should be taken up a bit. not too bad of a fit though.

Back is to long. You can see it hanging up at the waist. To shorten the back it is done at the shoulder. Doing so will slightly drop the front down into its correct position.

Actually Greger, I beg to differ. It's hard to tell from pics and the offset is very slight, but it seems to me the back tends towards being too short. If you look at the side view you can see the fold wanting to run up to the top. I think the hanging in the waist you mention, is the back being a bit too small on the hips, so the coat sits on the hips. That's also shown by the vents kicking out a bit.

Can I have my Pedantism trophy now?
