Even the 46 is too tight?Neither of those fit you very well, to be honest. But between the two, the 46 is better. I think you might be better off in a different model or at least a size up in that jacket. The whole thing is very tight and short.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Even the 46 is too tight?
Thanks for the rips. I am muscular so I figured off the rack jackets wont work. A size 48 would mean i would def need to get it tailored down to my physique
I may also add that due to your build you'll likely have to skip the 'slim' fit suits in most models. I certainly understand that your proportions for a given chest size would make you slimmer, but the slim cut suits typically have a narrower shoulder and a smaller armhole and trimmer sleeve which are all things causing your fit issues. I think you'll end up having to find a 'regular' fit model which fits in the shoulders/sleeves and then have it tailored down in the body. It'll probably involved a lot of work for the pants as well, but if you want something remotely close to fitting off the rack I think you'll have to go down this path.
I'm afraid so.

Some things:
The sleeves are too tight. They look like they're constricting your arm.
The shoulder is a bit lumpy. It should be a cleaner line
The jacket is too short. I've marked where the jacket should roughly end.
The buttoning point is also a little too high. It should be at your natural waist

When choosing a suit jacket or sport coat, you should aim:
1. For clean lines. When you see puckering, pulling, or other types of wrinkles, it likely means that the jacket doesn't fit well in that area
2. The jacket should roughly end halfway between your collar and the floor. Most men aren't used to this because they're used to wearing casual jackets, which are much shorter than suit jackets.
3. A clean shoulder line.
4. There shouldn't be divots at the upper part of the sleeve. The sleeve should fall cleanly.
There are some other things, but it's unfortunately too late to get a well-fitting jacket, I'm afraid. If the wedding is on Friday, then you don't really have time to shop for a good jacket and/ or get it altered. Maybe put these notes in a mental file and shop for a better garment for your next event.

“Does It Fit?” Checklist
A friend of mine recently had to get a new suit for a wedding (not his), and asked for my...putthison.com
This one I have from few years ago before i lost weight. Appears too big? Better than the black? In term of fit

Both of those are pretty disastrous.I normally get them tailored but I have a wedding to attend this friday and dont have time to get it tailored.
The first one is size 44 and the other one is one size above 46. Both are slim fit
