They are reasonable but the light grey could have done with being pressed before this exercise. Doubtless detail changes might be suggested but as long as they did not cost you too much....

The pants look great. The suit looks fine, especially for RTW. Don't widen the pants. They're wide enough. Your tailor did a fine job. Don't make him screw up his own work.

No, the pants are all wrong. They are tight where they should drape and baggy/wrinkly where they should be smooth. It almost looks like they're cut too full in the seat, which makes it look like they're sagging off your ass.

It's not terrible though, and I'm sure in motion the effect is not as pronounced.

I'll agree the pants fit poorly, but I can't see how anyone is calling them "way too tight." I think they are sitting too low at the waist, causing the ass to sag and the upper/back thighs to bunch up.

If they have had the crotch/seat adjusted, that may be exacerbating the problem, and it may not be fixable; I'm no expert. I definitely don't see any indications of "omg too tight!" however.

Well to be fair to the tailor, he did have quite a bit of work to do. The suits were a drop 7, whereas I'm generally a drop 9. I'll most likely be taking the pants back to him to fix the issues. I shall report back when finished
