Look at Vox's Weekly WAYWRN http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=165694 thread to see proper fit. Scroll through the months of selected pictures. It will give you an idea of proper fit that is sometimes narrow, but always properly sized. It will also give you an idea of acceptable sleeve length. There is a range, but the range only extends to about 1/2" of shirt sleeve showing with button cuffs and maybe 3/4" with double or French cuffs.
What do the jackets measure across the chest under the armpits and across the shoulders sleeve the sleeve in back. I might be willing to take this off your hands for a profit enough to tailor your first suit that's close enough to your true measurements.
This is the type of info I'm looking for, thanks scurvy. I'll start making my way thru Vox's thread.
Also, armpit to armpit the jackets measure 19.5 (pin) and 19.75 (tan). Shoulders are 16.5 and length (BOC) is 29.75 (pin) and 29.5 (tan). Sleeves are 23 on both suits as measured by A Harris' method. I have another mid grey micro-check suit of the same quality (same tailor/donor) in the same measurements.
