Can this suit jacket be saved?

[Adamjohnson3341]

Just got a screaming deal on a Boss 42L slim fit suit. I’m 6’2”, 200 lb, muscular but narrow torso and shoulders.

Biggest problem I see here are the shoulder divots. My wife didn’t notice them and thinks it looks great, but I’m not sure if it’s worth keeping, attempting to tailor, or retuning and trying a different size (I’m not sure up or down). I have a great tailor, but he’s expensive and is 2 months behind.

I think it fits pretty well otr aside from that.

What do you think.

What do you mean by shoulder divots? What am I missing in these pics?

The divots are noticeable but you could live with it. The bigger problem in my opinion is the length of the jacket. It is really short.

Agreed with the second poster. The jacket is way, way too short. As a rule of thumb suit jackets and sport coats should always cover your rear end.

Divots are not that bad compared to the jacket length. But judging from the length of the sleeves, it seems this is an intended length for this particular model. Depending on your upper and lower body proportions it might not look that bad. Maybe you could upload a photo of you wearing the full suit (back and front)?

Thanks all I will do that. I went to a tailor and he said the fit was fine and the divots were more wrinkled pad than anything else. I’ll send a pic after he gets it back to me (sleeves brought up a tiny bit and pants hemmed). I think the length is deceptive here since I’m wearing sweats and untucked.

It's always best to take pictures in a full outfit.
