Problem with my new suit

Hello everybody, I recently bought this Caleffi suit.
I have some problems with the jacket, maybe shoulders that are too wide or it's a problem of sleeve pitch?
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

The shoulders are indeed too wide and sleeves appear a bit on voluminous side. Interestingly, the jacket is to tight around the waist (not too big, the folds you see come from the excess fabric in the chest falling on the tight waist), which can be seen in the fabric pulling above the vents in the back. This one was cut for someone with an athletic figure. Try a decent tailor, they may be able to fix at least the shoulder width and let it out a bit. Alternative: if you can still return it, do so and search for a better fitting model. Operating on a jacket's shoulders is always a bit tricky and requires a good tailor.
