Try again Skinny...they just started working again. Also I agree with foo. The chest is tight here. The lapels are spreading apart and aren't laying flat. Weird thing is it doesn't look narrow in the shoulders.

The bottom button closed exaggerated the problem a bit.
Still a bit tight, this is tighter then the model's suit.

Just out of curiosity, would you guys who say it's too tight think the suit in the following pic is too tight too (it looks even tighter to me, but I still like it): http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qjpwnPW4c1...6028Ianweb.jpg

That pic looks slightly too tight in the waist, but okay in the chest. OP's looks okay in the waist, but too tight in the chest.

It looks tight in the mid section. Despite the love it gets here, RLBL is not for everybody and every body type.Originally Posted by porcelain monkey
+1. This suit makes the OP look pear shaped.
I like the look of the model's suit but it is clearly too tight as well - it is pulling badly at the button.

You want a "V", tight by itself is a matter of taste but right now it doesn't look like that, a surprise when you consider how much RLBL is padded. You need something that give you broader shoulder, otherwise you can't see the result of waist suppression, my 0.02.
FYI: I like waist suppression, but not just super slim by itself, because it makes my head look ridiculous big...

I actually like the fit a lot, though I always err on the small and snug side. The model in the RL website wears it slimmer than yours and it looks great to meOriginally Posted by vncrz
The major difference between the two pictures is that the OP is very tailored in the midsection but then fills out again past the waist. Its more evident in the second picture where the button doesnt pull the jacket together. So much so that the shoulders are almost as wide as the skirt of the jacket which accentuates its tightness. The model on the hand tapers in and stays straight down, creating a Y look. wide at the shoulders and then slim.
