Sports coat fit check

Reposted from the Cavour thread after one day in case I can get advice here. Even though I have read articles and other threads, I find it difficult to make the judgement in person...

I got my sports coat from Cavour. I am worried about the fit, I am not sure if it is too tight or short.

It feels close on the buttoning point, but I do not see the "X" mark so I am not sure if it is just part of being a slimmer fit coat. I think the shoulders are fine. On length is on the shorter side but it seems to cover my bottom (although barely). There is a slight collar gap if I put my hand next to my ear (e.g. if I am picking a phone call), although when I go to a neutral stance it hugs my neck again. I am not sure if this is something normal for RTW.

This is a 52. They also have 54 and 152 (longer size), I am not sure if I would benefit from sizing up. Although I think 54 may be too large for my chest.

I would appreciate any help or insights. Thank you.

For rtw its okay.

But it's too tight in the waist. Let it out 1-1.5" on the sides to relieve some of the pressure.

It's kicking off the neck as ts too tight on the front button. Letting out the sides will help.

Thanks! It is indeed what was suggested by the Cavour people and what I did. Now it fits better, even with chunkier clothes like a sweater over a shirt.
