How does my suit fit?

I'm a 34 chest, 28 waist, so finding a suit is extremely hard for me. Topman is one of the few brands that carry those sizes and the suit was on sale, so I grabbed it. I hemmed the sleeves up and also the pants. It kinda looks navy in the pictures, but it's actually charcoal. Sorry about the bad pictures, my SLR's batteries were dead. How'd I do?

Not as badly as I was expecting from your heading although the photographs are piss poor. The trousers seem especially dubious - what is all the wrinkling that is visible.

Try MTM in future.

Pants need to be taken up and those shoes look way too big. Better photos and better lighting are in order.

Welcome to Styleforum.
The shoes actually aren't big at all. It's a size 8, fits perfectly. I guess my feet are just unproportionate to my body.

yeah not bad actually, topman jackets are usually ridiculously short but this seems to fit pretty well. trousers may need hemming, and im sure the fabric is pretty cheap, but it'll certainly serve.
maybe consider suitsupply MTM for your next.

Well yeah, I'm 5'5". The material is poly/viscose of course, but whatever, it was cheap.

Pretty good but, for me, the jacket looks too long... like 2 inches too long.

Perhaps it was the angles and / or lighting. I am glad they fit well.
