Please critique my Ravistailor suit

[Sanguis Mortuum]

Just got my first suit, a MTM from Ravistailor (I'll probably be trying Thick As Thieves next). Would everyone be so kind as to point out everything that's wrong with it?

The main thing I've noticed is that I think the sleeves are a bit short. Or maybe the shirt sleeves are a bit long? Or maybe a bit of both?

Looking at the pictures now I could possibly do with having the trousers sit a bit lower as well? Or maybe that's just because I'm used to wearing trousers that are too big...

Anyway, without further ado, here are the pictures:

(I tried to get my shoes in so you can see the break but I didn't have much room)

So...what do you think?

IMO the sleeves do look a little short, and also the pants a wee bit high. Although with the jacket buttoned the pants looks great. So IMO just keep the jacket closed and you will look great, once you are sitting down the high pants wont be so noticeable so you don't to much to worry about for now, as this being your first suit.

Pants are way too long IMO. They look extremely high up in the first picture and you still have some break. The sleeves on the jacket look good to me, I think it's the sleeves on the shirt your wearing that are too long.

I'm probably totally off base here, but I feel like part of the reason your suit sleeves look too short is because your shirt sleeves are too long.

Thanks. I just did some measuring and it looks like the waist on the trousers is too small, which explains why they're pulled up so high. My waist is 28", the measurements profile on the website says 28.5" waist on the trousers, but the actual waist seems more like 27". I'm surprised I can get them on at all... I guess I will have to see if I can send them back for alteration, though I was planning on wearing this suit to my graduation in 2 weeks.

Yeah they do look too long, do you think I should make them shorter or make the wrist smaller so the cuff doesn't fall down as far?

Sleeve length is the one thing that looks okay. Your shirt sleeves are too long.

You look like you are extremely thin, this might be throwing off some proportions like the shoulders and the leg width etc. Are you wearing boots in the pic?

Overall it's not terrible but then again I thought Ravi was supposed to be a little better than that.

Sleeves length seems OK, but the shirt sleeves are long. Try buttoning the collar, it may pull back the sleeves a little. I agree that the pants rise is too high for his figure, but Ravi never saw him in person, or did he?

Thanks for the confirmation on the sleeve length, I'll get my shirt sleeves shorter in future. Yes, I am very thin (32" chest, 28" waist). The shoes are AE Sanfords (not boots). What is it about the proportions that are wrong? Also, any idea what could be causing all the creases at the top of the arm in the side-shot? I think maybe the shoulders being a bit too wide?

This was done online, so no he didn't.

I think the shirt he is wearing is way too big (not just the sleeves, but all around) and that is what's throwing it off. What size shirt is that? I would get a much smaller slim cut shirt, the pants taken in and hemmed so that their is little to no break, and dressier shoes. I think that should be OK.

The shirt is MTM from Tailorstore, I also have one from MyTailor which is about the same size. I'm not sure the shirt is too big, I think it is just billowing a bit above the waist because of how ridiculously tight the waist of the trousers is

I will take a picture of just the shirt with saner trousers...

Edit: Okay, now I actually see it in the pictures the shirt does look too big. Bear in mind that every OTR shirt I've worn before these has been HUGE on me, these shirts seemed to fit amazingly in comparison, but it does still look big. Im worried though that if I make them much smaller I will look positively skeletal though, I am very skinny underneath

Shirt pics (sorry about the blurriness of the second one):

Looks like the shoulders are far too wide, causing the sleeves to be too long as well...

If you told Ravi that you are an adult and your chest measurement is 32", he probably didn't believe you and cut you a 34.

Just measured the jacket and it appears to be 19" pit-to-pit, which does sound like a 34 doesn't it?

This is getting quite depressing, lol, would Thick As Thieves have been a much better choice?

First it would be a lot easier for us to see the fit of the suit against a solid background, it's hard to see the suits silhouette with all of the distractions in the background.

Personally I like my suit pants to sit just below my naval (more traditional style) than a low rise more trendy cut. The shirt looks like the worst part of the ensemble. Try a shirt in your closet that fits you well with the suit and report back.
