How do these tweed jackets fit?

[lavin80r]

How do these 3 jackets fit? I have some idea but need an objective second opinion from someone who knows about these things. Which should I sell on and which should I keep and if so what needs tailoring?
All found 2nd hand.
Drake's Jacket, possibly a game day. Tweed is quite thick contributing to the chunkiness, looks like a collar gap but is actually flush and doesn't lift when I raise my arms.

Excuse the awkward pose, was trying to demonstrate how it hangs under the arm and height of armhole.

Reiss light check wool semi-lined. This feels really luxurious to wear. Really nice soft lining inside and the jacket is a really plush wool Flannel? Having some trouble working out what works well with it though.

TM Lewin. It's Lovat tweed, which seems nice. More of a fitted feel than the Drake's, but don't love the hacking jacket style pockets and it's the shortest of the 3.

The Drake’s jacket looks good, assuming that there isn’t a collar gap as you said. Not sure whether the jacket sleeves might need to be shortened a touch but you’d have to wear it with a dress shirt. I’d keep it for sure.

The Reiss fits well (definitely needs the sleeves shortened) but I also would struggle with how to wear it.

The TM Lewin is a hard pass for me. Like you said, way too short.

Thanks. Yeah I wore the Drakes' yesterday with a shirt and it hugged it well, the only time it came up was when I was hunched over some food at a table with my head quite far forward (terrible posture for eating but didn't want to make a mess). I can raise my arms up no problem and it stays put.

Definitely the sleeves need shortening on all these jackets. I agree on the Lewin.

The Reiss looked pretty good with dark trousers and a black turtleneck IMO. I know 'Northern Lights' is seen as more challenging to wear/a faux pas on this forum and I can see why it's a challenge but I've seen good fits with a light grey jacket. As this one comes up more cream I might just need to adjust the tones I'm matching it with.

I quite like the Reiss styled like this. Wish these trousers were nicer quality material that didn't wrinkle so much because I otherwise like the cut, fit and colour.

I think the Reiss is the best fitting one, due to the length and the buttoning point seeming a bit lower. I do sometimes wear a light-colored jacket, and here are my observations:

One way is a low-contrast outfit; stone/light tan trousers, tan/snuff suede shoes. This works best in the summer, and runs a slight risk of making you look washed out, especially if you have very fair skin. Your beard might help here, creating a framing for your face against the outfit. Glasses with a slightly thicker frame can also help.

Alternatively, high contrast. I quite like black and white (maybe with some grey). This tend to be striking, and probably better in urban settings and for evenings. Black turtle neck, grey trousers, black shoes with a light jacket, for example. Not classic menswear as such, but can be a bit rakish.

Thanks, really helpful reply. I have some other frames but these are the darkest. Black turtleneck and grey trousers is on my list to try once some vintage high waist ones I ordered finally arrive. I also have some light chinos from Reiss coming I will try with it when they arrive.
