Yes. Or rather no. Meaning, damn good fit as is. Swell find. Leave her alone and wear it well.It feels a little big, especially around the waist and on the sleeves. Do you guys think it is worth taking it to a tailor?

Great fit. Gorgeous jacket.Hello everyone,
I found this cashmere jacket at a thrift store for a few bucks yesterday. It is a size 38R, when I usually wear a 36R.
It feels a little big, especially around the waist and on the sleeves. Do you guys think it is worth taking it to a tailor?
Thank you for your help!

Taking in the waist is an easy alteration. I would advise doing so, it appears a bit full.Thank you, I appreciate the advice. I may see it as too large because I am used to slimmer cuts (I have a small waist and small forearms compared to my shoulders and upper arms).
What do you think of tapering the sleeves too? The length feels right but they feel a little baggy compared to my other jacketsTaking in the waist is an easy alteration. I would advise doing so, it appears a bit full.
The problem with the sleeves looks more like the pitch, which refers to the angle at which they are attached to the shoulder. In bespoke jackets, the pitch is tailored to the way your own arms rest; an OTR jacket is gonna go for an average, which could account for the baggy wrinkles. A good tailor can fix that by removing the sleeves and altering the pitch. Or it could be something else. Ask him.Thank you, I'll probably do that.

Interesting, I didn't know it could be that.

Sleeves are to short. Fit otherwise is fine.

Thank you for your help. My pose could be a little unnatural as I set up a 3s timer on my phone to take the pictures and may not had time to properly stand. But good point I will ask a tailor.Is this how you usually stand? Particularly the photo from the side? Some weird balance issues if so but not sure if they can be fixed through alterations. Also your shirt sleeves and jacket sleeves both appear short.
