It's honestly not that bad. Though the shoulders look a bit wide, there back looks too wide, the pants are a bit too long, and also they bunch at the back for some reason.

i actually dont understand the shoulders. Don't know whether it really is too wide or just made funny, because it feels pretty snug when I wear it. Also I still get that dimple in the shoulders even when I pull them in.

Sorry mate. I did everything on my phone and didn't realise how horrible they are until I arrived home to check it on my computer. New pics on their way.

OK I just got the pics with me tugging the sleeves down. And I think the shoulders look better.
Are they still too wide or are the shoulders just funkily made? I do feel a fairly thick ridge at the seams.

Shoulders look fine. Pants are doing funky things.

* Your shirt sleeves are slightly too long, which makes you show too much cuff
* Your shoes look questionable (hard to tell)
* Your shoulders could probably be shortened half an inch or so for a more fashionable look.
* Tilted flap pockets look a bit weird on business suits, IMO.

Might be the angle, but jacket looks short in relation to the crotch of the trou. Or maybe you're wearing the trou too low?

The jacket look good! The pants are doing something funky but that may be due to the legs not be tappered. Overall for a off the rack suit, looks decent. I like the sharp lines!

That must be the suit being burned. A fitting end to the thing.

Thanks for all the input gentleman!
Need to fix up my pants then. Shortening it should help I think. Those are actually very tapered pants (7 7/8 inches wide)

It might be the angle Lufty. I almost thought my jacket was too long for a time there when I look at myself in the mirror from close range and head height. The pictures are taken from waist height about 3 metres away. The suit does cover my butt completely though. I think even shortening jacket length by 1/2 inch may still cover my butt properly?

Will it look off against my body size for my next suit if I:
- get wider lapels (currently 2.5")
- higher rise (those pants are 8" rise)
- slightly wider leg at the pants cuff?

(yup im tiny!)

All these are recommended.
