Hi there.
I only own 1 dark suit -- a charcoal Brooks Bros Fitzgerald in size 41 that's fits pretty good IMO.
I had to order a second suit sight unseen for a wedding in 2 months (picked for me). It was "extra slim fit" (not sure if that's true in reality) and only available in even sizes (40 or 42), so I figured I would go with 42R.
It's currently untailored, but seeking advice if I should try to size down to a 40R (shoulders are the most important part to get right, correct?)
I attached a few photos -- let me know if more are needed. The pants are fine/ easy to handle. I will of course get the sleeves shortened and possibly the waist taken in a bit. The suit is also wrinkled as it came in a box via the post office.
My overall initial impressions it that it DOES seem a tad large and boxy, but that's perhaps because it's untailored, and/ or that's just the style of the suit.
I'm also unsure if the 40 will seem too small.
Thoughts? Should I take more pics?
I hastily put on a random shirt/ tie so they're not quite right either - please ignore ha.
