Thank you everyone for your input!
So to sum up everyones statements:
Suit Jacket:
- Shoulders too wide - by about .25 - .5" on each side
- Sleeve Length too long - should stop around the wrist bone, not after ;-)
- Sleves too wide & shapeless - take out about "slightly" to 25-50% of the cloth out? (though thinking if between 25-50% taken out, it would almost be skin tight?)
- Maybe take in the waist a little
Suit Pants:
- too Long - should end at the middle of top of foot and heel
Shirt:
- Too baggy - take in about an inch from each side of the body
- Shoulders too wide - take about 1/2 inch from each side (though my right shoulder is drooping - was carrying around a backpack all day prior to these pictures ;-))
- Sleeves too long - really should end right where the hand meets the wrist
- Too many buttons on the wrist - Should be safe for me to just chop the other off?
- Wrists is a bit too roomy - trim it down a bit
- Fabric is on the thin side
Shoes:
Get a New Pair
The Suit, The changes seem pretty easy (the shortening of the sleeves & pants at least)...though not sure I want to risk them perhaps messing it up, due to its not actually the people I talk with who do the work, Im pretty sure they outsource it to some factory on the outskirts of town...don't want to get the sleeves shortened, only to find out the buttons are now at the end of the sleeve ;-)... Ordered a tux through these same folks (as well as a duffle jacket), sleeves on that should be much higher?
For the shirt, I placed an order for 4 more shirts they day I picked up the eyesore above (if you find the shirt above as such, you'd probably want to scrape your eyes out with a grapefruit spoon, if you saw the fit of my Burberry, Joseph Abboud & Ike Behar Shirts...) - I'll see if I can get them to change those four and maybe the two I purchased previously...The fabric I realized after washing is most likely mostly or 100% synthetic fibers...I'll try out another place that has better quality fabrics - supposidly 120+ thread count cotton, imported from Hong Kong stuff(well the swatches atleast felt good) - for around 37 bucks each (these were around 20)
For the shoes...Didn't think they were that horrendous...guess they were...Any Suggestions for shoe types?
