So I bought a new suit recently, and after reading a few threads and reading Dressing the Man and The Suit I realize it's probably a little too small. I haven't worn it yet. It's mainly too small in the back(have some bunching under the collar/back area), maybe a tad bit small in the shoulders.
I'm wondering whether to return it for store credit or keep it. I was already in the process of losing weight/getting fit. I'm 25, 5'6" 190 right now(down from 200) and plan to get down to around 165-170. I've been watching what I eat and doing starting strength and gonna start cardio soon.
Currently I wear a 42S, the suit is a 42 but it's slimmer cut, probably closer to a 40(which in my unlearnedness I didn't realize it would be so much smaller). Am I better off returning this thing whether or not the store will ever have something else I like? Or might I be able to fit into this at some point in the near future?
FWIW I bought it despite my weight loss goals because all my suits now are God awful, with 4+ buttons and too long, in bad colors.
I realize this is a tough question to answer but any insight would be appreciated. Also want to make clear I didn't buy this for motivation. I'm already motivated to lose weight(I've already been losing weight) and this would just be something else to spur me on.
