Well, when I lift my arms too much it doesn't work so well, but I easily have standard range of motion in it - can walk, shake hands, wave to people, etc. And yes, again, I know about the shoes.

Lounge lizard in Vegas? What gives you that impression?

Thanks again everyone for the comments; I'll definitely be taking them into account on my next order!

Overall, you look great on this suit!

I don't think it looks too bad. Shorten the pants as others have suggested. As far as the sleeves that is your personal preference. Some people only want a quarter inch of shirt showing, others want a full inch. You don't look like Jethro here.

To the people who pound on the skirt and some other items, remember that we're talking about a brand that is trying to compete with the stock Macy's and other department store suits. They are not competing against the Brioni's, Canali's, or Kiton's of the world. The way they present the lapels, waist, etc are part of their style. If you don't like the style then look elsewhere because each of us have different tastes. As long as the fit is good and you are happy with how you look, then that brings confidence to your day and that is a lot about what dressing well is all about. cheers

I would not perpetuate anything to this set of measurements.

+1, though the trousers look to me more than 1/2" too long. All in all, not very bad.
