I'm looking for opinions on the 3 suits below. These are one size smaller than the ones I posted recently, which people thought were one size too big.
Any advice on where they need tailoring would be great. I'm in a tiny city that doesn't have any top notch tailors, so I'd love to get input on where they definitely need tailoring, and where some tailoring would be nice yet is not key.
I have somewhat broad shoulders. I don't need a really cut look for the people I'll use the suit with, yet need to look good overall. I'd like to keep all 3 if they can be tailored to fit for under $90. The tailor said they'd charge $40 for the back, $50 for doing both sides, $10 for pant hems, and $15 per arm. I also plan to get a second of the gray because I work in two different parts of the US and want to have the same suits in each and just carry ties. I'll wear dress shirts, but am wearing t-shirts in the pics.
On the tan suits, there are a couple of creases near the pockets on the chest. I had these shipped, and am not sure if the creases are likely from shipping, or if it indicates a problem. For example, maybe someone else bought them, incorrectly ironed them and then returned them? Or a manufacturing problem. The gray suit plus the 3 previous larger suits I had shipped don't have any creases. I can try to have the tailor steam them out. But if someone has seen this and thinks the problem is probably going to resurface some days after steaming, I'd welcome the input.
Please no major debates on JAB. I got their $1k suits for only $125 each. They always have sales for 50 to 60% off so they're really only about $450 most of the time, but $125 is still a good price and everyone I've shown them to in person say they're nice. I only need to wear a suit once a month so these will only get 3 wears a year each so their durability won't matter much for me.
I put three photos of each below, and this link has more; they follow the same order with Tan 1 first, then Gray, then Tan 2 -

TAN 1
GRAY
TAN 2: same color but they cut each suit a little different
Thanks
