1. Length is fine, any shorter it would be pretty girly.

2. Shoulder fits great.

3.i. Button stance seems high, and the spacing between the two buttons are a bit wide, IMO.

3.ii. Chest pockets would look better if curved slightly.

3.ii. Too much extra fabrics on pants around the lower butt/thigh area, causing creasing.

Who made the suit btw?

vitaminc, great eyes. Regarding the button stance, it could be because the camera was set on a tripod. I'll have to take another picture at around shoulder level to make sure.

The suit was made by a tailor in Vietnam.

Suit looks fine but your lawn really looks bad.

point to point= shoulder measurement seam to seam.
the fronts are off . i think moving the top button down 1/2" should do the trick. look at the bottom of the fronts. look at the pockets. they do not line up. this has nothing to do with camera angle.
for a few hundred bucks you did very well.
It is a very good first start.

Jeepers! How high off the deck are those trouser bottoms? Sounds more like MTM than bespoke to me...

I cannot see enything wrong with the shoulder measurement seam to seam
But the trousers are a tad short, IMO. This is very common among "pijos" in Spain, but I do not like it.
Also, the jacket actually looks a little bit short, IMO.
But the general impression is very good.
(Of course, I am no expert, just giving my layman opinion)

Jacket is too short and feminine due to the skirt.

The fit (especially the jacket) strikes me as very good. Agree with everyone that no shortening is necessary.
