haha, my grammar is horrible i know.
i dont live in usa, so i dont know about the suit shops there.
here in UK, ZARA is a decent brand....but well not good for suits i guess...
i am from italy, haha, so my english is not the best.
I saw on a shop of a brand called moss, they have pretty decent suits, and i can buy one for round £250, and the best thing is that is taylor made with my measurements...so it will fit much better i guess. but its just the measurements that are wrong in this suit? or is the suit itself.
cheers.

The suit does not fit you: Surely you are not saying it is made to measure? Take or send it back then get measured properly.

How do you know the avatar is the poster?

OP, follow the advice about searching and reading SF and getting measured correctly for a suit.

You live in the UK?


Go to Saville Row in London, maybe?


The suit fits pretty badly.

At a two second glance, same curtains, same window, same hair/hairline, same ill-fitting suit.

Yeah you're 15 and don't know how to buy a suit but let's suggest Savile Row.

you really think i have that much money to spend on a suit?Saville row its pretty expensive.
and for the last person that replied-
i dont like your tone, I am 18. I dont know about america, but in the UK people are more polite.
for the others.
I went to Zara today,returned the suit and now i got another one at Moss, the suit is from French connection. the guy from the shop said that the suit was good, a nice fit.
i got it for about 300 dollars. they had made to measure suits,but the price was in about 500 dollars,so a little over my budget.
after i will psot the pics with the new suit.hopefully will be better.

Don't mind the rude people. The Saville Row suggestion was weird, since we had a good idea what your budget is based on where you got your suit. Next time, it would help to say what your budget is up front.

At sub-500 suits, you'll want to make sure you see a great tailor for sure. That's what will raise the level, so be sure to have money aside set for that.

Also, I'd suggest educating yourself on what makes a suit fit well. Just because the guy at the shop said the fit was good, doesn't mean it is. He's a salesman first. Some people here have even said the people at Tom Ford, whose suits cost $4000+, has fed them the same line when it wasn't true (I never had such an experience with them, but that's confirmation bias).
