The suit coat looks a bit short to my eye.

I suspect that this PS was a bad choice, but I am color-challenged and couldn't think of anything better. I tried a forest green/white check, too, but that also seemed like a failure.
Recommendations, please?
The suit is a Zegna mainline...
This. Otherwise I like it.
I'm a bit surprised to see it's Zegna; the shoulder seems a little softer than some of my Zegna jackets. Personally I like a (very slightly) higher shoulder but that's personal preference. Good stuff Spoo.
Doc - the new Zegna mainline stuff has some amazingly soft shoulders ... yet ever slightly built up. I just tried on a couple in the Zegna store in Recoleta yesterday ... a move from some of their old stuff i've touched before ... very nicely made garments.

Interesting! I must pop into their shop soon and see the difference! I'd stopped going because their stuff needed a fair bit of tailoring work to fit me, but this might tempt me to look again. Thank you!
I need one of those IST/Edmorel coats. Very nice and bold.
HF, not posting pics because I think I've already posted pics of everything I have to offer. That and the time issue.
Thanks
OK, for those of you who care about what I am trying to explain, IST66's coat above gets it right. It's a bit tight for my taste and I might extend the shoulder a hair but the balance is dead perfect and it closes beautifully.
The pattern is so F-U that I think it needs a lighter shirt and anyway I don't like those deep blues, the tie would better if it were a plainer solid or a knit and the safety pin is stupid.
Right, so - brand new suit, brand new cut, and a brand new tailor. Better?
First pic below is most accurate colors.
note - I see that small pulling by the button, but I think that's just the photo/pose as that's not there when I'm robot posing.
