Sorry for the quality/point of view of some photos, I still have a long way to go ...

Looks good. I prefer my jacket sleeves to be a tad longer, but to still show shirt cuff.

-from the picture provided, pants seems to fit well. More shots of side and back view of the waist level would be better.

-jacket seems a tad tight in the chest. Notice the slight "X" created by the top button which you have buttoned. On the side view there also seems to be some creases round the shoulder blade area; it's not clean

-Your right arm is longer than left arm, the jacket sleeve should be lengthened a tad on the right.

Thank you very much for the insights, I think the tightness is my fault, I told the tailor I've just started a diet

Thanks. I'll post more photos, but it's meant as a 3 roll 2.5 at most.

Thanks but it's not the crotch in itself (I'm not exhibitionist enough), it's to show how trousers wear and fall down to the shoes.

Thanks, I suspect the problem here is the shirt, sleeves are a bit too long and make the suit's sleeves look too short.

the right shirt sleeve is longer. look at the joint at the base of both thumbs. but then it just might be pulled down lower.
the jacket sleeves seem ok.
that top button was meant to be left open.
the hips are too tight but if you drop that ten pounds it should be fine.
