Hey all, tried to post this yesterday but I think it was lost to the abyss.
I don't wear sportcoats/suits to work or really for anything, so I only have 1 sportcoat/1 suit in my closet, both of which are from >5 years ago (the suit's actually from senior year of high school). Switching careers + getting more classy so that is about to change, I'm trying to figure out if these two are salvageable/tailorable as I make new purchases.
My measurements: 6'4", neck 36.5, arms 36, chest about 40 (not sure R/L), I wear 33/34 in pants.
Here's the sportcoat, it's a 42L JCP Stafford, 85% poly. Obviously synthetic and way too big in the waist, worth keeping at all?

Here's the suit, it's a 40L, wool, made by Zignone in Italy. Not sure how I feel about the 3-button.


Thanks for your help!
