Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to go back to the original tailor at Nordstrom's and ask him why he made the adjustments the way he did, which may give the next tailor some insight should I try to take it somewhere else and "repair" it.
The jacket came with some small darts in it already, I had asked the tailor at first if he could add them in because they are so subtle that I could not tell. I wonder if they can be expanded. Not sure how much worse the situation can get, but I'll find out soon I guess. Thanks again.
Trying to decide between two sizes of a particular blazer - would greatly appreciate some guidance/advice on whether the 38 or 40 fits better/could be altered/or if neither work. I've just begun trying to find clothes that actually fit, for the first time, and am in the process of building a new wardrobe. Regardless of which blazer is a better fit, I know I will have to have it altered by a good tailor - just want to get your opinion on which one fits best. The first 6 pics are of the size 38 blazer. I think it looks preferable to the 40, but it makes even a moderately slim shirt, such as the Gant Rugger 'Hugger" plaid oxford I'm wearing, scrunch up in the front. The 40 seems big, but I guessed it could be altered enough. My apologies for the poor image quality, and the obvious tucking in of the merchant tags.
