Pics are better, but you really need a full body shot and more up close. That said, certainly does not look overly long.

Jacket length is really a matter of personal preference, provided that it is not somewhere in the realm of ridiculously long or comically short. If you like the length where it is, wear with confidence.

That is actually the right length for a suit, although obviously lower than you'll see in GQ.

if you were going to shorten it

1. would you?

2. I was thinking 1/4 inch, would this look acceptable?

Yep, the X tells me that it is too tight. Length looks fine.

Photographs still not really suitable - have a look at what others do. Your posture looks contrived as well.

Length probably OK but seems tight. Centre vent looks typically awful and shows the pulling. Sleeves difficult to tell at twenty feet.

Jacket looks far too tight in the waist.

Looks OK in the shoulders.

Length looks OK.

Pants still look like they're down too low. Fitz has pretty high rise.

Photos still aren't great. Your posture is off, too, which makes the jacket wrinkle up quite badly.

What is your height? I'm 6'3" and take a ~31" minimum on my jackets, prefer 31.5". Your specs may vary based on your height and ratio of torso to legs.

The length looks OK but it's too tight when buttoned up. Like the other guy said. You don't want the "X" creases.

Maybe you can put the camera lengthwise, take closer pics and post them in the "Tailor's" thread for an expert opinion.
