I actually like his suit and he looks good. I would argue that its probably not a great idea for him to be showing more cleavage than his wife, but its 2020, so you do you, etc.
This is a MTM Sportcoat I recently had commissioned from a large Canadian men’s luxury retailer. The rep definitely rushed through the process and had a pretty arrogant attitude through it all, even skipping the try on appointment even though we had scheduled a time.
I feel like this is my worst fitting jacket but I still lack confidence on exactly how my body should fit into these garments or how particular I should be in my expectation. I feel it is very tight through the back, the shoulder seems to be too straight and maybe large, but then the armholes are super awkward where the entire jacket pulls up if I reach up at all, but is also extremely tight through the upper arm if I reach forward. I felt like I was going to bust through it when driving. The chest seems to also be a bit off.
Any feedback? What extent should I expect the maker to fix this?
That's very unfortunate. Was it Harry Rosen? And which MTM brand did you go with?

Yes it was - and I went with Munro. Do you think I'm within bounds to request a remake or significant alterations?

The jacket looks too small on you, and very short.
My impression is that many large retailers start with this kind of pattern because most men are afraid of wearing more classic fitting clothes. They think a classic cut looks too old and fusty. But the result is often a slim, short jacket that doesn't look very flattering on them.
I'm not sure a remake is worth your while, as their pattern is basically made for a more fashionable look. IMO, MTM works best when you like the "house style" but want small tweaks here and there -- just a little bit on the shoulder, a very small bit on the length, etc. If you have a try-on garment, it's easier to tell whether you like the house style on you at all before proceeding with an order.
If you get a remake, I would just lengthen the jacket, as that will make a big impact on how the garment looks overall.
This was in Calgary. They push Munro super hard every time I’ve been in there and I was returning a 42L jacket that was actually 2 inches shorter than this one and the rep suggested that we’d get a great fit going this route. I also get frustrated with having such a hard time fitting into anything and having such a small selection at my size.To echo Derek's point above, the jacket is too short and tight. Some of the tightness could be ameliorated through alterations, but not the length.
The jacket has a flaring-skirt effect which I think is from the mid-section.
Harry Rosen can be a good source for MTM. But I've seen/experienced some bad examples as well.
A few more questions: which location, and why Munro?
Thanks for the input. I am trying to branch away from the JCrew/Ludlow options but I guess I’ve become accustomed to that type of fit. I’m 6’3 195 pounds so by no means a giantere is an example of a 42L Spier and Mackay that I bought recently. Would you say this has fit issues and is too short as well?
