Fit Check on Blazer
Howdy,
I posted this over in #recent-purchases, but I recently landed a houndstooth Brooks Brothers Blazer in 48L. My chest is 47 inches, and my sleeve length on dress shirts is ~36. This jacket seems a bit long, and I'm not sure what's up with the shoulders. They aren't collapsing near the top, but it seems almost like an Italian cut with the amount of padding present. I was curious what you guys think.
Thanks

it does look long in the body and possibly the sleeve too - it would help to see a picture with the jacket and a collared shirt on to tell the latter for sure
the shoulders could be impacted by a number of things, the shoulder pad being weird, the shoulder being too wide, the armhole shape not being right for you or some combination thereof.
it looks like your arms are pulling slightly forward in both which will affect how the shoulder sits; if you're able to take another set of pictures like this it may help get a better response
I'll get you the pic tomorrow morning, thanks
Back armpits are all jacked up fs. The shoulders also seem weird but I can’t pin it down
