    Bring the suit to a tailor or get a new one altogether?

    If chest and shoulders are good, everything else is cheap alterations. Can you buy a new suit without making alterations? I know I can't. Sleeves shortened and waist tapered are not big alterations.

    Which blazer with jeans?

    The blazer and the jeans should be noticeably different in color hue so as not to look like a horrible suit. Usually this means jeans that are lighter than the blazer. The surface of the blazer and the jeans shouldn't contrast too much, so no really rough jeans with plain worsted blazer...

    Is the men's suit a vestige of colonialism?

    Since colonisation has ended long ago, I don't really see the point of the question? You are free to get another job, and there are no red coats oppressing you. No?
