Hi guys! I think I made a mistake by buying the jacket in the pictures below and to me it seems that the shoulders, sleeve openings and sleeves are too tight.

What do you think about the jacket’s fit? Do you think I could perhaps make some alterations to salvage it (I have no access to ‘specialised’ tailors)?

Thanks!

I would try for a refund. Most off the rack suits doesn't come with enough excess fabric to take them out by a significant amount. If in doubt, it's usually better to go for a larger size because they can be taken in.

Too tight overall and maybe too short. Definitely agree about the refund.
