After doing searches for shoulder/chest sizing, is it correct to say that a suit should fit well on the shoulders and the rest can be tailored?
Thanks!

Fit must be right in the shoulders and overall length. You should try to get the chest to fit well, but it could be changed. Sleeves and tapering can be done easily.
You can shorten a typical jacket body by about an inch, but shortening more than that will usually look off.
Indeed, but if sleeves are with working button cuffs, length alterations are problematic in that sleeve alterations would have to take place on where the shoulders meet the sleeve.
They really have to stop producing RTW jackets with working buttonholes, or even decorative ones for that matter. This is not cute. Is this intended for people who just buy a suit off the rack and wear it, hitting the ground running? Suits/jackets should come with unattached buttons as a rule - it would cost them nothing, perhaps less.
Thanks for the responses. I have an additional question:
