New RLBL suit arrived... critique the fit (photos)

[apropos]

Cripes, just realised that I forgot my PS!

Anyway, suit is an Anthony cut 2B navy pinstripe, size 40R. Fresh out of the box, unaltered. FWIW I am 6'0", 175lbs, 40.5" chest, 34" waist.

Any feedback would be welcome, both for the photos and my following comments.

I feel that I need to take the coat waist out about ~1" perhaps (as the suit is a drop 7). Ditto for the pants, which are a little snug at 33". This would be to correct for the tightness around my waist as evidence by the horizontal creases on the back.

I'm also a little concerned about the bunching at the rear upper bits of the sleeve - might this be due to my resting stance?

Thankfully though, the chest/shoulder/collar areas seems just right to me. In case anyone is wondering, the fabric is very soft, silky smooth to the touch and a beautiful shade of navy, and the (cream) pinstripe is more muted in real life (the flash brings it out a bit).

Pants are currently unhemmed: should I get them cuffed, or uncuffed?

And finally, the 'Holdfast pose'.

IMO relatively high scyes for RTW, but not the highest. All in all, I am happy with this RTW suit.

looks nice! like you said, you will need to let out the waist probably at LEAST an inch.

other than that, don't wear a BD with your RLBL suit, just doesn't do it justice!

That's exactly what the girlfriend said!

jacket seems way too small around the waist. can you let that out a little? its getting all wrinkly in that area in the back.

Yeah, def. let out the waist a bit. The sleeves have a pitch issue, but it's minor and probably only perceptible standing still at attention.

My goodness - you've just 'solved' it. When I relax and let my arms hang down naturally, such that they curve a little bit more forward, the creases disappear! Good man!

Fixed

J/k. Agree with what you and grim said, looks pretty decent otherwise.

Looking very nice!

Let out a 1" on jacket waist should take care of those horizontal creases. I wouldnt worry about sleeve pitch so much; it's not that severe of a problem.

According to RL website says BL pants should be cuffed, between 1" and 1.5".

Very nice, the fit is excellent. Does Corneliani make RLBL garments? Enjoy.

I prefer them uncuffed, personally.

Why did you want a drop 7 if your drop is smaller if I may ask?

 

[MetroStyles]

All BLs are drop 7. But even though my pants say 31, they fit me and I'm a 32, albeit snugly.

 

[grimslade]

My BL suit pants are uncuffed, which is unusual for me.

Yes I know about the suit's drop.
