What do you guys think of the sizing on this suit? Good? too big? I usually go for slimmer, suits, but i do like this one and a bit worried about the sizing. Notably in the sleeves. Advise pls

I think it looks good at the shoulders, but can we get a pic with it buttoned? Also the trousers look kind of crumpled, is that because they're too long, or do they just need pressing?

The whole suit is crumpled, on the way to the cleaners as we speak.

Here's a pic buttoned

Looks good, straighten arms out to check sleeve length - probably may need 2" shortening since bent arms usually bring sleeves up a tad. I cant tell if those are working cuffs - they do not appear to be which means it is an easy fix. If not, it is a difficult fix requiring the arm length shortened at the shoulder pad.

Looks OK. Not a huge fan of pinstripes, though.

Sleeves will never be the right length off the rack, make sure everything else fits then get the sleeves altered.

Sleeves are too long — ~0.5"-1". When pressed, I think it look really nice! It could be a tad slimmer, imo, but that's personal pref.
