How does this suit fit?

[mikealvaa]

so I got this DB silk/linen suit from BB in NYC for about $300 including some alterations. I know the photos are not ideal but what do you guys think? By the way, the left shirt sleeve was bunched up under my jacket sleeve in the first pic. Go easy on me haha

I think it looks good. I see you fancy an alternate button fastening pattern vs. the conversational arrangement.

Do you have specific concerns, because I cannot see any issues.

Looks pretty good to me too. Although i would button the second button. And I would get cuffs. Nice suit

 

[compuccesory]

Yep, looks pretty good.

That is a successful $300 suit.

Nice suit, good fit, no notes I like the fit in the shoulders, and I particularly like the fabric. It’s reawakened my urge to find a good DB in navy linen for the summer.

I mean if there is one thing, it looks like the sleeve pitch might be a little bit off? Maybe a side view would help, but nothing you can really do about that anyway other than shop a different brand.

Even if that’s the case - hard to tell with a limited view - I don’t feel millimetrically perfect sleeve pitch is at all worth worrying about with a linen suit. It’ll fall nice and straight from every point for five seconds, then you’ll scratch your nose and a thousand creases will appear. If someone wants a sleeve that drops cleanly from the shoulder they can buy something that wants to fall cleanly

Thank you all for the insight. I didint find anything particularly wrong with the fit of the suit either but I thought maybe someone would point out something I missed with my eye. It’s always nice when people here like something because I feel like the standard here is pretty high. I’ve already received so many compliments on this the first few times I wore it.

[Steepleman]

Perhaps show the back?

 

[Camerashy]

[JJ Katz]

FOR 300 very good.
I would change if money is not an objective:
Sleeve length. Width of the arms, for my taste to loose.
Make a bit the trousers slimmer at the last 1/5 -> end with 20cm or so in diameter. ( maybe a bit shorter / or that folding style with example red socks and a red pocket square)
Of corse depends on you style/shoes/ what you like etc.

Otherwise looks very good
