Thanks for the review, looking forward to the pictures. Are the pants lined?
The pants are lined to just beyond the knee.

Hey guys, this is my first post here. I found this forum when I was doing research toward getting a new suit. I've never owned a well-fitting suit.
That led me to give Black Lapel a try. I ordered a Light Gray Slim Fit suit, and it came a few days ago--less than two weeks after I placed the order. I don't know much about these things, but I was impressed with the overall look and feel of the suit.
I did discover that, in terms of the tailoring at the stomach and in the width of the pants, the Slim Fit was a tad more aggressive than I was wanting. But that's personal preference. And I understand I could adjust both of those things a bit with tailoring.
Could you guys let me know what you think about the overall fit? (I haven't gotten the suit steamed or anything yet, so maybe that makes it harder to judge?) I know the pant legs are too short, and I noticed wrinkles/folds on the back of the coat just behind the armpits. Also, my dress shirt sleeves aren't showing at all, but I think my dress shirt sleeves might just be a tad too short.
My biggest question is regarding the shoulders. I think they're too wide. Am I right? I'm wondering if I'll need to have the coat remade, or if it can just be tailored.
Thanks!
