blazer.jpg


Hi, new here, i realise this isnt a particularly good picture, but it is the best i have of this blazer at the moment. I also realise you guys will not like my overall look here, but i want to know specifically about the fit of my blazer. The shoulders seem to fit me...reasonably...well, what do you think? The main problem i have with it is the way it drapes outward away from my torso. I would much rather it taper in, would a tailor be able to fix this particular blazer or should i get another one?

+1. A picture of it done up is needed to critique.

The tailoring is wasted if it is left open. Atleast take one good picture with the buttons done up.
