First fitting from Hola Classic. 1 Suit and 1 Tux. please help critique!!
Hopefully the photos are clear! Both sleeves are a tad too short and will be let down. The back will also be slightly slimmer and the leg will also be a bit shorter. Standing at 5,4.

just some suggestions:
both tux and suit sleeves can be longer

the major issues are the pants. thigh is too tight, and the length for the suit can be shorten and tighten on the ankle.

Sleeves can be improve. A lot of ripples along sleeve especially near shoulder area .

Not a fan of the tux

After choosing the fabric, first fitting would be conducted immediately with the aid of the trial suits. The suit will then be created for the second fitting. Alternations will be done if necessary.

The fitting of the jacket is nice and that of the trousers is great.

Does it mean no baste fitting and no forward fitting ? Second fitting means put on finished suit to check if any alteration need.

Thanks for everyone's comments!

Yes, already tried. I thought it looked tight too but it felt OK.

Also the back part at the waist should be quite tight.

Agreed, I will ask them to tighten it

Agreed, have already asked to lengthen the sleeves and shorten the pants. I'll see if the thigh can be loosened. Will also ask to tighten the ankle.

Sleeves can be improve. A lot of ripples along sleeve especially near shoulder area .

What would you suggest? should it be tighter then?

Not a fan of the tux

What exactly about it? The colour came out lighter than I expected but we didn't want it black since it's a wedding (wear it once) tux and there will be guests who will be in black tux. It's common to go multi-coloured in Hong Kong anyway. I would invest more on a black tux in the future but honestly there's not many occassions to wear one. It was only like $3.5k from Hola Classics, including waistecoat so I'm not expecting too much.

Does it mean no baste fitting and no forward fitting ? Second fitting means put on finished suit to check if any alteration need.

This was the first fitting after getting measured, the first time i saw the suit/tux. so no baste and forward. I guess Hola is a cheaper place? Or originally there was a time limit (something like 2-3 weeks) so maybe that's why they skipped it.
