sorry these shots aren't great. Not a whole lot of detail, but you should be able to get an idea about the fit.

I like the fit of the jacket I just think the sleeves are a BIT too short... as well as the pants. But I love the lining and the overall vibe I'm getting from you in this suit. Good job

Beautiful suits. Only thing I would do differently is move the buttoning point down maybe an inch or so, but that's my personal preference.

Who's the maker of these suits?

KILLING IT!

You have a lot of natural style, man. Nice work. I don't think pants are too short at all. I might have done a 2-inch cuff, but to each his own.

Well done!

I would say its perfect. Personal taste would dictate a little more waist suppression, but I like the length of the trousers. I like a touch of break when standing up, because most of the time I meet people, I'll stand up. When I'm behind a desk people can't see my feet anyway!

+1. Everything else look pretty good though.

Although, do you (w.o.e.is.me.) have quite short legs? I'm not sure whether it's just the camera angle or not. If not then possibly a slightly shorter jacket would look better; it would make you look taller.

Thanks all, I intentionally asked for no break. I kind of like them like that.
It might be a good idea to add a little more waist suppression to the 2nd suit though.

and yeah, I do kind of have short legs. I'm a short man all-over, in general. haha.

The suits were made by Astor & Black.
I know they've gotten a lot of flack on this forum, so I wanted people to judge them on their own merits.

Looks great w.o.e.is.me.! I would have opted for cuffs, but that's being really picky. Congrats!

I like everything about them except the length of the pants. They seem a little short to my eye.

But then Luciano Barbera was quoted as saying that "Americans wear their pants too long, Europeans wear their pants too short , so I like to wear mine Atlantic - in the middle"

Perosnal taste, I think the quarters are too open.

Nice suit -- looks great. I agree with others -- pants are too short and I would have done cuffs.
