Suit fit check
Looking for opinions on the fit of this suit. I know a bit about how suits are supposed to fit but want a second opinion. Looking for a conservative, classic kind of fit here (definitely not slim). I can move with ease, but I'm wondering if there may be some problems with the shoulder fit (might be a little big I'm thinking), and I think the waist is probably a tad big, but I believe that can be fixed with tailoring.

What do the trousers look like?
I think if you’re in your 40s it’s a good look. If you were younger I’d definitely go for a more slim look personally but I know you said you didn’t want that.
I think the trousers fit how I want them to. I'd mostly be wearing this working as a clerk in a law firm with a conservative dress code.
just threw on some sneakers to give you an idea as to how the pants break on shoes
i do not intend to wear GATs with this suit
The shoulders are not right.
I was afraid this was the case
Yeah the bunching in the back of the armpits means somethings not working right
Your shoulders also seem a bit broad and I think if you were try try and adjust it, I would recommend something less structured
Yep. Kind of looks like a combination of improperly sized armhole and wrong sleeve pitch at first glance. Not a tailor. The former is not fixable, the latter is expensive and risky.
what is sleeve pitch exactly?
not familiar with that term
I will revoke that statement, I actually thing the shoulders look good, but I think you need to have the waist nipped a bit to establish some shape against the shoulders
It’s the curvature of the sleeve
thanks guys! will have to see if there's a reputable tailor in my town who can say more about it
and i think taking in the waist makes a lot of sense
Sleeve pitch is how the sleeve attaches to the body. It could be pitched more forward or more backward. You also hold your arm a certain way, which is more forward or more backward against your shoulder. When those don't align, it's a problem.
Chuckflowers, are we looking at the same shoulders? You don't see the huge divots at the side shots and all the rumpling from the back shots?
Front look fine, problem is red areas
