If you want an honest opinion, it looks pretty bad. The whole point of going MTM is to have something that fits your body type and this looks like a bad OTR suit that doesn't fit. Sorry man, I say go for another remake. Shorten pants, let them out in the rear, lengthen the jacket 1.5-2" and you might be somewhere

the length of the jacket is the least of your worries. the suit is pretty bad IMHO. Sleeves are off, the back is not clean at all, shoulders dont seem to even line up right, pants are too tight and the list goes on.

I think you should chalk this down as a loss - dont pour more money into it.

I think the jacket length is fine (in relation to your arms), it's just that you're wearing your pants low... overall thoughts? Meh, it's passable, as in "well, it's a suit". you look like a fairly slim guy, but that suit makes you look fat.

Thanks for the honest opinion. I appreciate it. I'm no suit expert or pretend to be one.
That's why I look for styleforum for help!

What is wrong with the sleeves? Are the shoulders still too wide?
Fortunately remakes are free. and I am in no rush. Please list!

I'm not extremely slim. I have a bigger frame.
Maybe it's because I have big legs (thighs) that it makes things look strange?

The shirt isn't horrible. The sleeves do appear to be a bit long (notice the fabric bunching near the cuffs) and the sides could be taken in slightly. I'd wash and dry the shirt a few times, then see how it fits. I think, with a bit of tweaking on the measurements, you'd be fine.

I suggest wearing the jacket and pants seperately.

And upgrade the belt as well.

No, that jacket is way too short. It's nearly impossible to look at the jacket and say that the jacket length is fine. And where is he wearing his pants is actually fine. It was the prior suit where he was wearing them really low like a douche.

He doesn't really look slim to me at all. More like stocky and athletic, but not slim.

It looks much much better comparing to the previous one.
But still not good enough.

I'm going to post a picture of myself in assless chaps and tell you people to critique it. I'll probably do better than this poor guy...

It's his side profile without the jacket that made me think he was relatively thin. From the front though, maybe he's more stocky. anyway, I don't think the jacket shape helps whatsoever.
