Pretty reasonable starting point. I'd like a hair longer jacket/lower buttoning point, but that is a bit of a taste thing.

The coat sleeves look to be hanging a bit weird - your left sleeve looks a bit long, but I'd like the sleve wrinkle above your left elbow to be cleaned up first before worrying about that.

Trousers need some work in the back - it looks like they may have more room in the seat than you need, causing them to collapse into your thigh instead of hanging more cleanly

Thanks! My left arm does hang ~.25 inches shorter than the right so that also might be why the sleeve seems off. I can talk to my tailor about that. As for the trouser I might have just hastily hitched them up because I was more concerned with the jacket. I can also ask my tailor about this though. As long as my sizing seems correct I think I’m moving in the right direction.
