eh, something looks off. I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe the button and pockets both look too high, maybe the jacket is too short, maybe that's just your frame, but I am not a fan.

The jacket appears too short to the front.

Difficult to tell from the profile view because your hand is in the way but the back actually looks about 1/2" longer.

Looks off.

Sleeves look too full at the wrist.

Pants look too baggy in the seat and too long.

jacket looks to be very baggy along the back.

The back should definitely be cleaner, but I rather like the front. It almost appears to have some drape in it.

Agree that the proportions are odd - I think mostly because the jacket is a tad on the short side, which would be OK and sort of au courant if only the pants were cut trimmer. As ****** pointed out, they're too baggy in the seat, which makes them puff out at your thighs for an unbalanced look.

Also, I'm not sure if it's just that the jacket isn't on you quite right in the second row of photos (the 2nd row back shot looks like the jacket is sliding off to your right side) but the collar fit is awkward as a result.

Still, I think this is eminently fixable with some tailoring.

Your ass should NOT look bigger than your shoulders, even if they are.

The jacket collar seems too loose and low. Also, the pants have a terrible line--it looks like the back rise is too long, making the pants bag below your seat.

The large pimple below your lip looks painful, how it comes out alright.

+1 about the collar, it doesn't fit correctly. And there is definitely something weird going on with the pants. I'll second SG's comment about the sleeve at the wrist- it looks very odd, like it is too full.

Some more taper would help, but it also looks like one may be slightly longer than the other.

I agree the jacket looks short; the buttoning point is also a bit high to my tastes. Much leaner pants with much less break might balance it out. But it depends on what kind of look you're going for.

Part of the problem is that many people make the error of standing too upright with their shoulder's flexed back unnaturally. People should stand for fittings and photos in their natural, relaxed state.

By standing too ridged with your shoulder’s all the way back you give the impression that your collar’s too big or loose. If you naturally slouch, then you should slouch.

The front does look too short. Did you pull your jacket too high in the front? It looks too loose and long in the back. Try to balance the jacket between front and back.

IMO, too full through the hips and the jacket is too short in front.

I'm mixed on this. I tend to straighten myself out during the day when I realize I'm slouching a little. So, which is my more natural state? Fortunately for me, my collar seems to stay in place regardess.

Hmm. Maybe the OP isn't wearing the jacket quite right. If he pulls it forward and down, the collar fit might improve and front may not seem so short anymore. Just a consideration.

Looking at your previous suit, I much prefer the 2 button look. I think the single button is not doing you any favors.
