If it's a 40R I might take it off your hands. PM me.

I would say the size is correct, but you need an L. The first button is too high compared to where it should be (see model pic), so you're getting more of a Thom Browne look there. Otherwise I don't think the RLBL suit (or any other) needs to fit perfectly in order to look good. Notice that it doesn't fit the model perfectly. Personally my RLBL gapes a bit at the lapels, but it looks good anyway.

Also you need the body language to go with the suit - your stance doesn't do it any favours. Try an alpha-male pose like metrostyles.

But if you got it cheaply then it's worth keeping - I suspect it looks pretty good IRL and with a tie. It would help to see a full-length pic.

Nothing, no matter how cheap, is worth keeping if it doesn't fit.
