How do these blazers fit on me?

[Lionsfan]

Bought a couple of new blazers - wanted to get an opinion on the fit.Thank you!

Jackets 2 and 3 appear to be too tight across the button point.
Belt should not be visible under lower button.

Lionsfan, if you want advice from some good tailors, check out this thread...

Shoulders are too wide in all of these, so you've got excess across the back.

Also a touch long, but I think that's just my tastes.

The pants fit poorly and probably should be pulled up. The 2nd looks too short regardless. Number 3's sleeves are too long (easily fixed). All three have collar gap. That's in addition to the problems cited by others. Terrible fit, basically. Maybe the body type calls for bespoke.

 

[TOstyle]

That's a little harsh. Plus, the comments on the pants are off (since those look like casual pants the poster just had on while taking the pics with the blazers).

I think the collar gap gets fixed with narrower shoulders, and which also helps the back. There still probably should be some taken out in the middle back seam, but overall I wouldn't describe this as a terrible fit at all. Not perfect, but fixable.

@TOstyle I don't know on what authority you speak (I hope you're not a tailor), but I'm afraid every single assessment of yours in the posts above is wrong.

OP, it looks bad, TBH, but perhaps the effect is exaggerated by the pics you posted. Is that your natural stance? You seem to pull your shoulders back and stand overly erect, which would go some way in explaining the huge collar gaps, bowing lapels and excess cloth in the back.
It's difficult to tell with your pants pulled up like that, but at least the second one is too short. Possibly the other two as well. Jacket must cover your ass.
All three look to be too tight in the waist.
It would be helpful if you could post new pics where you stand naturally and with your pants pulled up properly. But it may well be that @mensimageconsultant is right.

I've got no authority at all, and please do take my assessments with a grain of salt. Just first hot takes from a look.

I still think I've got a good point on the shoulders. I think you're right on the jacket length though (I was just looking at the pics from the back, and it looked too long but that's probably because his pants sit low). On second thought, I would agree with your assessments on everything else.

Still learning about proper fit myself, so just one guy's thoughts on the internet here.

No problem, we're all hear to learn. I didn't mean to come across all snotty and trying to put you down, but your tone of voice seemed rather firm and authoritative. That's all.

 

[TOstyle]

Well the good news is I didn't take it as a put tone. I thought your tone was pretty fair, and I took no offence to it - pretty rare for Internet commentary!

Also, I'm the type of person who I would like to think would admit when he's wrong, and I was wrong on this. So I take your point, and I thank you for it. I am here to learn, so I appreciated it. My apologies if my posts seemed blunt - I did write them quickly today.

So we all learned something here today. And @Lionsfan, turns out your jacket does need some work...
