Disagree. Get the cuffs, height be dammed. The BBBF trou are relatively slim and will lay better with a cuff.

You're afraid of making mistakes. Don't be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people's faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.Originally Posted by Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451
Shorten the sleeves, have the jacket taken in around the mid-section wherever you find an excess of material. You look much thinner in your jacketless pics, which leads me to believe it's quite loose. If the back still looks messy afterwards, it might need re-working.
It's a sack suit. Leave the waist be for now.
The lapels are awfully small.
…I recently purchased this Brooks Brothers Black Fleece suit…
Should I go to the BB store for tailoring?
Are you not 'on this forum' or something? You keep talking like you're some third party who is somehow excluded from, and above all the hustle and bustle of SF. Are you somehow posting on SF via Fark or something?
Good point. Thank you for including me! I am pointing out that it is kind of predictable to see the regular comments on this forum-- cuffs on pants, articulate the waist, etc.... And I don't think all these blanket comments apply to his suit, which I think looks good. I think for the most part the suit looks fine. It is designed to look that way. Definately do not take in the waist.
Well thanks for the help guys! Hopefully I'll have a chance to get to the tailor sometime soon and show you guys a much cleaner and better looking suit. I plan to shorten the sleeves and pants (obviously), and also take the waist in. I may get some cuffs too. luftvier, thanks a lot for your comments. Regarding the buttons on the sleeves, what would be the difference in price you think if the buttons were functional vs. just sewn on?
