Unlike JC's gentle comment, the pulling at the waist is very obvious.
Maybe try less nipped waist from next jacket. Pretty sure you won't look fat in that way. View attachment 853265
This is my mindset. I have to believe there's a middle ground between obvious pulling/lapel bowing and looking like you're wearing a box.
Fwiw, I have a few old, too small, and ill fitting DBs whose lapels look quite similar to this, which biases my opinion, but it wouldn't be a fit I'd be comfortable with from either MTM or bespoke.

the unposted fit is the best....
:sarcasm:

Be defensive. if you want.

Critique is part of the forum. and years of participation in the circle jerk doesn't exclude you.
The jacket doesn't fit. period. could be the Robopose. . backed up by snark. (soooo SF staple behavior)

and i don't care how much you paid for those shoes, or who made them. i don't care if they were made by the dubiously honored.

Tailor the jacket. smoother shoes. then accessorize how you want.

you want to be the holder of the rules? don't rest on your thumbs.

Please provide a more detailed description of the manner in which it doesn't fit, preferably with photos of counter-examples. Please also explain what about the broguing of the shoes you think is in appropriate. Critique is part of the forum, but useful critique requires substance.

Everyone is entitled to his opinion, but they are just that. If you don't like his shoes, Six has the right to say so what. I think the shoes look great for the record. Although some Air Force 1s would really set this off.

I think the sleeve opening is a bit wide. I would slim the sleeves. The body looks relaxed, but not shapeless. I would leave it as is.
