Steed Made-To-Measure Issue

Hello All,
I am hoping for some advice. I recently used Steed's MTM service (their semi-bespoke service was not yet available). I am mainly happy with the suit I ordered, save for the sleeves. I can't quite put my finger on it. I've been in touch with them since receiving delivery in mid-December, but have yet to receive a response. I assume the holidays are causing a delay.

Now, I realize I should have held out for bespoke service, but I figured being I usually do very well off the rack with a 40R, that it would be overkill. This is likely my inexperience, and I have learned.

Anyway, I ordered a lovely breathable mid-grey lightweight 2-piece suit. It is wonderful. We did 1 virtual fitting, and adjustments were made, and it was sent back. It seems the sleeves are either too big/wide, or pitched wrong, or something. Will you all tell me if I'm crazy?

Thank you! 20230105_134424.jpg 20230105_134432.jpg 20230105_134455.jpg 20230105_134442.jpg

Good Afternoon BonzoMoon2002,

I'm afraid the sleeves do look a little baggy. You mentioned you did a virtual fitting. It's better to have a Master Tailor see in person what the fit needs to be like.
