how we feeling about this suit's fit fellas?
thinking of maybe tapering the leg (20" leg openings are a little much for me, think a 16-17" might look better) Seems the waist could also be taken in a little bit. Unsure about the shoulder fit but it seems okay. Also thinking the jacket might be a little long but I truthfully don't know about that one

also forgive me I put it on out of the box it shipped in so there are a lot of creases and wrinkles
What's going on with your center fastening button?
Overall, this is pretty decent. The back of the trousers is odd, but it may just need to be pressed. Same for the bottom, back of the jacket. It kind of looks like you just took it out of a bag that was shipped to you ;) the sleeves do look like they want to be like... a half inch longer? Basically I'd like to see half the shirt cuff you currently show. Maybe a little less.
Jacket length if right, I think. I love wide leg openings so I'm against a taper, but that's very subjective - imo the side profile looks very nice right now. It could be the camera angle but I agree that something seems a little off about the shoulder fit. From the back it looks like the jacket is maybe a little tight across your shoulder blades but maybe those are just wrinkles - does it feel tight in the armholes / do you have trouble lifting your arms?
I think the button looks a little funky because it needs to be pressed. Not entirely sure but the last suit I got off ebay also had this issue. Sleeves might be fine because the shirt I'm wearing isn't sized completely correctly in the sleeves. Thank you for the advice!
I was actually worried it was too big in the shoulders perhaps. Definitely not tight across them. And thank you
I'd love to see it after a good pressing, and make sure to, like, yank down on the jacket hem and sleeves. A lot of times, a wrinkly mess is just riding too high and a good yank fixes it.
It was a steal. Southwick in like perfect condition in charcoal. Cost $100 after tax. Really can't ask for better than that
