Suit looks very good. Keep it.
you appear to be ironing your collar to a folded position. Just a word of advice, always iron the collar flat up.
When you put the shirt on the collar should have a nice roll to it. Otherwise you're fine.


Thanks for the advice. The jacket seems long enough? I'll probably get the pleats taken out and get darts.

Jacket is almost certainly too short (hard to tell from the pic) and I have a feeling it will pull pretty bad when buttoned. Sleeve pitch seems off, which may be what is causing the waves in the arms (but that could be something else as I am no expert)

The coat is actually wide for me.. buttoning doesn't really change the shape of the coat much..

Looks great. Yeah, it's a tiny bit short. I bet the long will look slightly too long on you. That's my predicament too. I'm a semi-long.

Yeah. The long is too long and the short is a bit short. Also, I wearing the pants a bit low. If I was in a shirt and jeans it looks perfect - almost

Not the best pictures to judge by but the jacket and its sleeves look too long. Can't see the trousers properly.
