Thoughts on this suit?
Hey all, I was wanting some feedback for this suit I grabbed on sale. I needed one for a warm weather wedding but wanted something I could wear to work after.
It still needs tailoring but I just wanted to see if others thought the bones were there. Like if the overall cut suited me, jacket fit my shoulders, or if there was anything a tailor couldn’t fix. I was in between sizes and went larger. The pants are unhemmed and feel kinda baggy. It’s 3 roll 2, not sure if that requires any special considerations.
For the wedding itself, I still wanted to have a fun casual look. I was looking at drakes look books for inspiration and thought a madras shirt sans tie might be interesting. Maybe a lighter color than the picture linked. I’m open to any other recommendations.
Appreciate any advice!

I think the basic fit is there. For the jacket, the shoulders and chest fit is most important and those look good. With some tailoring of the sleeves and pants, you will be in good shape. The only thing worth noting is the jacket length looks a little long compared to where your hands fall.
Looks good! I would shorten the pants a tiny bit because the break isn't working for me as is. Sleeves and body length both look fine. Madras shirt would be cool, as long as it's within the dress code
Good catch, I forgot to mention that. It seemed a touch long but I believe it’s close enough that it can be tailored it
Haha they came with like a 38 inch inseam so I tried my best to tuck away the excess for the photos. Definitely needs some trimming.
Glad to see the madras could work. I thought it might be kinda clashing with the charcoal wool suit.
