Really hard to tell from that picture. Need pictures without you holding the phone. At least one with the jacket buttoned. Back and side views would be really helpful. Sleeves seem a touch long and the body too short, but hard to say much else.

Is it a really poor fit would you say or is it acceptable. I understand the sleeves are a touch long.

I'd go with sleeves too long, as you know, but the shoulders also look like they are too wide. Hard to tell without seeing the suit buttoned, but you could also potentially nip in the side seams.

I will make the suggested recommendations but generally does it look okay? Or do I not wear it out At all until the alterations have been made

Looks like an orphaned suit jacket.

In all honesty though, if you are trying to impress e-folks, that "jacket" is not going to work. But if you are just wearing it on a day-to-day basis, and cannot afford something more expensive / better fitting, it does not look out of place. It really does not look bad at all, from a layman's perspective.

Hard to disagree with what has already been said. The jacket does indeed look rather short through the body and seems to flare quite a bit at the hips, maybe a picture of it buttoned up and alternate angles?
