Please Critique my First RLPL Jacket

Good eye. I actually noticed this a few minutes after the photo was taken, took it back today, and the tailor sewed up that cuff end properly.

(You may on occasion find a lighweight RLPL suit/sport jacket with a seemingly uncorrectable wrinkle aft the shoulder seam near the arm seam. The typical RLPL shoulder pad is constructed of three separate thin concentric layers and can bunch in that area. The suit/jacket price may be reduced or it may be returned to the distribution center due to this happening during try-ons. That wrinkle can be massaged-out by hand.)

thanks, good to know!

furo,I don't think you have the build for PL suits/jackets. I think Black Label will look better on you,although I am not a fan of BL. Quarters are too closed and make it look really weird.I can't quite put my finger on what is wrong with quarters but I don't like how they look.

I think it looks quite good otherwise.

+1. Jacket is a tad too short. Otherwise..100%.

as others mentioned before, the sleeves are too short.. and i would say, the jacket is a bit too long...
but overall, looks quite okay

really? i think the quarters are slightly open and neat, no?

I think it fits you very well and looks great. I would keep riding the RLPL horse (something my build doesn't allow). Enjoy.

Your jacket has a nice clean fit. Will look very good once the sleeves are corrected.

For some reason,I can't post images,here is one of the PL suits I have. It fits me little differently.

Fit is fantastic...I wish I could do so well!

+1. Sleeve length is ruining what is otherwise a perfect fitting jacket.

The button stance on your jacket is higher, which in turn causes the quarters to open more on your jacket than mine.

I rather like the lower button stance on mine, simply because higher button stances cause my lapels to bulge in the chest

This is actually pretty low for me,probably as low as I would go.Also,I don't think button stance is what causes the quarters to open more.

fwiw, i find when i gain some weight and my chest is fattened/fuller , it would unnaturally bring up the quarters to be closed.
when i was more fit and trimmer my coats drape with a little more open quarters.

i think a fuller chest imo tugs/pulls on the front and draws in the quarters.
