Sleeves for sure, but it might be tough to take in the waist as it already looks like it is pulling around the button. I would love to see what a larger size would look on you.

I like the overall look you're going for but I would advise against tapering at the waist because the jacket seems like it's already pulling quite a bit and forming an "X" when buttoned up. You should definitely get the sleeves shortened because right now, it's not allowing you to show any sleeve cuff of your shirt.Check out my style and fitness website at: http://www.wellbuiltstyle.com

I just got this leather jacket, but I'm unsure about the fit.
The sizing on the web seemed right, but I'm not sure in person. The sleeves are def. too short, but I have freakishly long arms so that's just how it's going to be, sizing up would make everything else bigger as well. It's not a suit or a shirt so it's not that important.
Leather jackets are supposed to be worn pretty slim fitting, right?

Originally posted by Whiteknight View PostI requested a complete remake from Black Lapel and their second attempt arrived this week. The first suit is here. Overall I think this is much closer to the mark. Compared with the first attempt, this has a longer jacket, narrower shoulders, less waist suppression, slightly smaller chest, slightly wider arms, and looser thighs. I haven't steamed the suit yet, but it seems like there's some wrinkling or bunching in my right breast area on the jacket. I'd appreciate other thoughts and suggestions.
Ignore the apparent color mismatch between the pants and jacket. There was an open window near me that seems to have only illuminated my lower half with daylight.

That is much improved, for sure. The shoulders look much, much better. I still wonder if there is a little extra room across the back, but that is something a tailor could smooth out relatively easily. There is still an awful lot of waist suppression. Don't get me wrong, I think that can look good, but this is still a bit extreme. Gives somewhat of an (undesired) hourglass shape. It's also causing the double vent to flare a bit on your rear."You don't need money to dress better than you do" - Salvatore Romano
