Nice suit but I think the shirt/tie is a bit ostenatious, the silver chalkline shirt and silky royal purple tie stand out immensely, personally I'd replace one of those with something a bit more subtle.

Also your hair looks a bit last minute, making you look a bit out of place in a suit (beard adds to this).

Would like to see shoes next time

- what size & who did the tailoring? Something does not look right.. - from what I can see, the collar needs tightening & need better pics - & I hate to agree with Xeno, but teh shirt & tie is not good.. - I had the same suit last year & FWIW I am 36R & I am 5'7" - the only tailoring was let out waist in jkt & pant as I'm a 40 YO PHAT BASTARD

The Shuron frames look great. I'm a huge fan of their eyeglasses.

I agree, Shuron frames aren't expensive. I have two pairs, one from framesdirect and another pair I bought in a shop. Neither pair was expensive.

For the jeans, either embrace the stacks or hem. A smaller cuff with some stacking could also work, if you wanted to try that.

A pretty good first post though

Thanks everyone for the feedback. T's have always been hard for me to size. I have pop-eye large biceps and a small chest and midsection. I agree that the jeans are on the long side, when I ordered them I was unaware that they are 2inches longer in the in seam than tagged. Hopefully they look better with the now smaller cuff??

Ha, I never thought I'd live to see the day to read that... It's just been my go-to fit lately:

Thanks for the comments, guys. The photos were from an abandoned santorium out in the country:
