I like the overall silhouette but I'm not a fan of the pull that is noticeable on the right side of the jacket. It's visible on the other Ruby DB posted above. The fit is stunning with the exception of the way the cloth is pulled by the right side button. Not sure if it's possible to have a perfectly fitted waist suppressed jacket without it though.
Here it is:
Maybe I missed it- have you posted pics of the jacket interior?
1. The grosgrain (?) trim appears to be midnight blue like the cloth of the suit. That's a slightly unusual choice but not an unwise one. But what about the bow tie? It seems black! I do think the tie should match the colour of the trim (a rare case where colour matching is advisable in men's clothing -- which is not to say that it should be made in the same material).
3. As many have pointed out, the shirt does look out of place (much more so than the shoes, which are OK). What about a proper pique evening shirt with softish collar and single link cuffs? No dress set necessary. I take it you have appropriate cufflinks.
4. The shape of the lapels is handsome and it befits you, even though I have a slight preference for more pear-shaped shawl lapels (you know, the kind that has a bit of belly in the lower part); but perhaps those lapels At any rate your lapels are not too wide, unlike what some here said -- Rubinacci is particularly skilled in making wide lapels that look proportionate and graceful.
5. I just don't know what to think about the quarter lining. I don't see its use, and it might cause the coat to wrinkle more, which you really don't want on evening clothes. But there might be other advantages I don't see.
Foo, I love those lapels. What a great choice. I remember you said it took some persuading to get Mariano on board with the shawl. I don't know what an SB peak would have looked like, but it's hard to imagine it looking better than this. How does MR like it?
Where's the bow from? Don't tell me you got that bespoke too.
Okay, I tweaked the contrast over part of the jacket so more detail is shown:
I didn't realize the shirt would be so huge a problem! You guys have me convinced: I'll get a proper formal shirt. However, this one will have to do for now.
Well, this shirt might work if you wore a long tie
If anything might make you look like a waiter it's the V fold, get a cream colored silk pocket square.

That is a cream silk pocket square.
