I don't know... everything else is nice just the jacket seems 2 sizes bigger than you... arms are ok, but is way to long and I'd also narrow it down some inchesHey felllas. Just picked up this three piece from ebay for a decent price. Already had the trousers tailored a fair amount. (Pant leg opening at the bottom was around 10" had them tapered to 8" and also had the crotch raised and length shortened). The jacket still looks off though. It was advertised as a 40R, but wears more like a 40L. Anything my tailor might be able to do to make it fit better? And anything else that needs to be done to the suit?
Thanks
^^^ there are far too much things that are off, I advice you to change the tailor. I have seen nice black suits, but yours aren't within the category.
Anyway, you seems to be very young, I will just keep learning and get better stuff next time.
well, a 40R with a 10inch leg opening tells me the suit is probably vintage..?Hey felllas. Just picked up this three piece from ebay for a decent price.

Yup, it is definitely a vintage suit. Took it to my trusted tailor today, but was unsure if they would be able to shorten the jacket. They said they can do anything to a suit jacket to make it fit right. So we'll see how it comes out. Ill post pictures after I pick the jacket up on Friday.well, a 40R with a 10inch leg opening tells me the suit is probably vintage..?
Which would also easily explain the proportions on the jacket. I think the jacket is small in the chest, but that's probably from wearing the vest and having prominent chest. No much you can do to fix that.
The jacket could be shortened up to what looks like 1.5-2" and it would still maintain good proportions.
Really? That's a pretty bold statement!Yup, it is definitely a vintage suit. Took it to my trusted tailor today, but was unsure if they would be able to shorten the jacket.

Thanks for the advice!
I'm not a tailor, but I don't think the shirt sleeves need to be slimmed at all; it looks good as is. Your feet look disproportionately huge. And I don't think the pants should be slimmed, either. Just shortened a bit. The painted-on look ain't a good one, bro.X Post from Aussie thread: Just found out the difficulty of taking a decent photo of navy pants in poor lighting, with a camera phone and in a bathroom. Some terrible photos of my new shirt: My thoughts are that the body fits very nicely, but the upper arm could be taken in a touch on my next shirts. Length of body and arm seem spot on. Any other thoughts? Photos of the pants I want altered: Want the pants slimmed from thigh down and the leg opening tapered. On the right track?
