Hello, Dear gentlemen. Sorry for my bad English.
I want to ask you for this new tobacco-linen suit.
This is bespoke suit made in Korea, My beloved shop.
Can you advice for next suit?
Does it too-big or small?
If I had some point to make some modification?
Thanks a lot
best regards.

The fit seems very good, at least from the pictures: the suit has generally got nice, clean lines, the collar sits on the neck, length seems good, etc.

One thing to note though: the shoulders seem to extend past your natural shoulders. This isn't wrong, but if the suit has very light shoulder padding (which yours seems to have, although you know better, obviously), it can start drooping downwards over time. Again, that's not necessarily wrong, and some even like it on a more casual suit like linen.

There are things that you can change on a future commission, but these are more stylistic preferences, things that don't have right or wrong answers. For example buttoning point or trouser rise. These come down to your own preferences, so the main question is: are you happy with how the suit turned out?

That said, you do have a very well fitting bespoke suit and you seem to have found a great tailor!

Pants look great. In general looks good. The only thing I'm a little concerned about is your shoulders.

The right sleeve looks like it has some bunching possibly in the armpit. Though this could be because you have a short sleeved polo on?

Also - I feel like the right shoulder and left shoulder were done by...people w/ different aesthetic tastes. Maybe I'm insane, but the right shoulder looks like its got a lot more ripple going on at the point where the sleeve meets the jacket.

This could be misconstrued as some as trying to imitate a spalla effect, but I believe shoulder rippling is determined by arm hole rotation and other factors. A tailor would be able to give more insight.

TL;DR - I feel like there is something going on w/ the right shoulder / arm hole that is not right.

I would also take some photos w/ a long sleeved shirt on.

I think it looks good, the shoulders seem a bit off in this photo but I would bet it's probably just some odd photo angle or something. It would be very strange for a custom jacket to get everything else right except the shoulder.
