RLBL Suit Fit Critique

[nytek]

This is a 36R RLBL that I got off Gilt. My shirt sleeves are a little short, which is why you don't see much cuff, but the only alterations done were sleeves shortened and pants hemmed. Any suggestions for any other potential alterations.

I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the back.

Looks pretty good.

Yep, looks nice; the shoulders are a bit wide, but I think that's the style. Is that mouthwash or booze?

look pretty spot on man, good job!

It looks good. The sharp shoulder fits in well with these!

It's rum and that's just how I roll

As a side note, the salesman at Saks kept insisting that I should go with a 38R. I'm assuming it's safe to say that the 36R is the right fit.

the shoulders on a 38 would be huge on you.

You look exceptional. Good going. Especially on buying a suit off gilt (online).

With the exception of the shoulders, the fit looks spot on.

Largely sharp, however I'd say the chest is a bit tight -- lapels are buckling/bowing out. Are the vents flaring at all?

Looks great! For off the rack. RLBL is one of my top 3 off the rack brands a guy should buy.

That's nice. The shoulders are a little hulking, especially for a suit that's slim, but it's not a deal-breaker. I'd personally have a tad bit more break.

Great fit man. After asking for suggestions and consulting others, I realized there is a certain foundation that one needs to learn when it comes to how a suit should fit, but above that it's up to the wearer. Do you like it slim or traditional? etc. If you feel good in it, that's all that should matter.

But I love RLBL suits and that is the standard I have forall suits so I'm a bit biased! =)

Isn't that kind of the RLBL aesthetic?
