Major work. Unless you do a full recut, meaning taking off sleeves, collar and recutting the back you won’t get close enough to a good fit that looks right. Will be very hard to make the collar fit after squaring the shoulders.Is this unstructured Golden Fleece suit within the realm of tailoring to fit? I've never owned something with no padding whatsoever so I'm not entirely sure--there's basting thread in the shoulders and with no padding/lining, perhaps surgery is easier.
I have pretty broad, square, and uneven shoulders (@Despos you probably don't remember, but when we met at a dinner at the Bristol many years ago, the first thing you said to me was "you must be hard to fit"). It is in my normal size, but it feels a little big.
Pants waist is much too big as not only am I usually a more than average drop, but I've also lost weight and put on some muscle mass during quarantine...

Was a crazy price and I like the color, so it would be nice if I could make it work, but otherwise it is returnable.
Trousers may need a lot of work too.
If you do all that work there is no guarantee you’ll be pleased with the results or if it is worth the cost.
Remember The Bristol.
