It doesn't bother you but people will look at you as some "young" kid in a "modern" suit.

Too high of a stance and too short. Get a L.

There is nothing wrong with this at all. How do you want a 21 year old to look like in a suit?

If that really doesn't bother you, then why did you ask for feedbacks?

Not really but you do not seem to be unduly concerned.

Wear shoes, if you have any, when asking for comments on a suit - they have a material effect on judging the trousers.

It certainly looks good on you. Hope it feels even better.

the thumb/finger test doesn't really work as people have different length arms. I would say the button is too high on that jacket but other than that it looks good.


If i did it i would have suits like Steve Harvey.

its a very comfortable suit. i love the details on it: button fly, surgeon cuffs and lining on the trousers that prevent them from bunching up.

i called CM and they said i can exchange it for a 38L, hopefully that will be a better fit. if it fits a little off ill just take it to a tailor and fix it up.

ill post fit pics of the pants with my shoes on later today

The suit simply does not fit. The TS's jacket is not only too short, the waist of the jacket sits way above his own waist. That is not a matter of looking modern or young, it looks neither good nor as intended for a suit jacket. One is perfectly entitled to ignore this. But what is the point of wearing a suit without willing to understand its aesthetic concept?

Besides the jacket being a bit short I think the suit looks fine.
