BB Fitz suit fit critique

Hello world! I'm a total suit newbie, but have been reading a ton of SF posts the past week before going out to try one. Hopefully I didn't fail too horribly.

I went to BB hoping to try on a charcoal Fitz, but they didn't have it in 36R, so I just tried on a black Fitz coat to check the fit. Shoulders were snug all-around but not uncomfortable -- arms still had good range of motion. The coat sleeves might also be a tad bit long, but SA said they can be fixed. The shirt is a BB french cuff slim fit (uncuffed here). The shirt sleeves seem long, but the SA said once cuffs are added they'll look better -- is this true?

The pants/shoes obviously don't go with the outfit -- do the shirt and coat fit reasonably well? Thanks for your comments!

You should try the Milano cut for a better silhouette and next time wear the pants too.

Looks almost a size too big, imo. It's tough to tell with your shirt untucked, baggy pants and no cufflinks though.

I think you need a short, not a regular.
