I'm not sure what to think about this. Looks like the right shoulder is tight, but the left looks ok. Can't tel the shape because of the wall behind you. Plus I am tilting my head. You need to change the format of your pictures before you upload.

Does it feel tight in the shoulders, chest, or waist? Chest and waist can be changed. You also should have about 3/4" to shorten the sleeves before the buttons get too close to the end.

Yeah I'm not sure why its landscape, its saved in portrait and I tried linking it from an outside image site too.

Also note for the next time you take pictures. The shadow created by the hallway makes it tricky to see if the sides need taken in a little. Having a uniform backdrop would help.

Noted, and thanks for the replies guys. It feels a bit, but not excessively tight all around. Lets put it this way, if it looked right, I wouldn't have a problem with how it feels. In my mind since I already have bigger hips, the upper waist gives me too much of an hourglass look.

I'd never thought of going short before. I'll give it a try and report back with (better) pictures.

Hey guys, doing an interest check . My brother lives in the Netherlands and said he'd proxy for folks who are interested. The way it would work is you'd just order from the site, put in his mailing address, then he'd ship on to you for shipping cost + $20 or $30. I don't know yet what shipping will be, as I just placed an order last night. Once he gets it and ships, I'll know. PM me if you're interested.

While this may be an obvious question, but for those that have had their sleeves lengthened, did you just live with a greater than standard amount of space from the cuff to the buttons? I have 3 SS suits that are wearable, but definitely show borderline too much/on the high end of shirt cuff on one arm. I'd like to get the sleeve lengthened 1/4"-3/8", but have held off so far because of the working buttons. Other than the one sleeve the jacket fits perfectly without any other tailoring so I'd like to address the sleeve if possible.

I just lived with it and personally it's a non-issue. I'd rather have more fabric space from the button to the end of the sleeve, than sleeves that are too short.Oddly enough the sleeves on my Havana fit perfectly and it was on my Washingtons that I had to lengthen the sleeves. Go figure...

I had the sleeves lengthened on both of my SS Napolis and you really don't notice the extra distance. 1/4 to 3/8" sounds like a very reasonable amount.

That's kind of what I figured (re: not noticing the 1/4-3/8"). Thanks all for the advice/thoughts.
