Thoughts? Sorry for sub par photo quality and cluttered background.

Thanks.

Fits like its supposed to fit, which is why I wouldn't buy a BB suit. They just aren't very structured in the waist, there is no suppression, and the shoulders are soft.

Looks exactly like it was meant to look though, especially for OTR.

I actually think it looks pretty good! I'd recomend going to a short though since you'll show some cuff and the jacket which looks a little long will be better. On discount I think these are good pickups.

Looks a little long to me. The quarters also seem pretty closed, but that might change after you take the waist in. Otherwise see if you can go down a size. One of the nice things about BB is they offer all sizes and not just increments of 2.

Doublemazaa,

Ignore butterfly style, if you read his contributions you will see that he's a bit of an ass.
Agree with the others that it could be shorter and that you should try to size down one just to check. All in all, not bad though...

 

[CYstyle]

also post a picture of the back of the jacket, looks a bit long as stated, and you have a shoulder low. wo

Aye it looks long, but well within normal range. I'd give that an eight out of ten overall and it is a good score.

Just remember to pull the right sleeve of your shirt out a bit - show a bit of cuff that side. Only kidding, I see you were in store and in a hurry with little time for aesthetics like that. But do adjust the sleeve length of the jacket about 1/2 inch in. Tad long.

Well, that was a 36 short, so I don't think there's much option for going smaller or shorter. Where should the bottom of the jacket fall ideally?

Thanks.

If that's a 36 short then don't worry about the length. I think it looks fine.

+1 to the "looks good" crowd. A bit long, but if that's the shortest size, then just have your tailor shorten it a bit--or not, it's really not bad.

Could use some more waist suppression, but that's an easy thing for a tailor to fix.

Looks really good to me, especially for OTR. The coat is not necessarily too long, but at the longer end of acceptable in my opinion. I wouldn't worry about the length.

 

[bcjohn]

I think it looks terrific, especially for an OTR suit without any alterations.

 

[joneog]

Very good for OTR. Length is fine IMO.

 

[LesterSnodgrass]

The length is fine.

Just have the sleeves adjusted and you'll be good. Good fit for OTR.
