Black tie fit critique

[montymarvin]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out which alterations I need for this outfit. Currently, I am thinking shirt sleeves -0.5", trousers -0.5". Not sure about jacket length (and others). What do you think?

Thank you!

Pants adjustment sounds right. I think the sleeves are personal preference but I'd let out the jacket sleeve as opposed to raising the shirt.

I agree with @Shawl Lapel - the sleeves look too short and should go closer to the wrist.

jacket sleeves are too short. To me they are way too short. I'm a 40L, and a jacket looks like that if I get a 40R. In other words, to me, it look a size off.

Thanks, guys. Will post an update once the alterations are done.

Sleeve pitch causing quite a bit of wrinkling down the arm, and letting out the waist a touch might ease the lower back wrinkling.

I would not go to a long size to lengthen the sleeves as it would make the rest of the jacket (front, back, buttoning point) drop, I would just let out the sleeve or get a different jacket. Not sure of the cause of the wrinkly sleeves but I'm guessing it is because the fabric is light weight.

Jacket shoulders kinda look too large.

Lengthen sleeves at least 1/4", I might even push it to 1/2". Shoulders are too large on the jacket, try going a size smaller, if you're 40, try a 39 if you can find it, fairly difficult however to find. I might even push a 38 and let out the sides a tad. I would also suggest a slightly smaller bowtie, although it might be fixed by straightening the bowtie a bit, making it look neater and more presentable.
