How does this suit fit?

Some suits are meant to have both buttons done up, but in most cases, including this one, and especially when posing for fit pics, the bottom button should not be done up.


I guess i'll keep that in mind. What about a 3 button suit?

There's definitely something seriously wrong in the collar area, I can't tell if it's the jacket or the shirt or both. But you've got a lot of gapping going on there between the shirt and jacket.


noticed that too. That with the shoulders are the biggest problem

Then you button the middle button, and optionally the top button; never the bottom button.


Sounds like what I already do, buttoning the bottom always looked weird to me, so i never did.

The sleeves are to short of the jacket. You can also use some compression in the waist. Will make the overall look better.

It needs no more waist suppression. The fit problems are elsewhere.

What i actually mean is that the jacket looks a bit too stiff. You can solve this with taking the sides in.

End of the day, doesn't matter how everywhere else fits, once the shoulders and that collar is all wrong that's the end of it and needs to be returned.
