Bought this jacket, came today. Not sure it fits... its a 40R slim, but it seems too small. Its a Calvin Klein jacket.

What I am wondering is that the bottom button is visible even when I am standing. Also, you can see the top button is pulling some fabric slightly. Also, the length may be slightly short.

I tried a 38R at the store, it was small. They didn't have 40, so I had to order it.. and now I get this. Not thrilled.

Anyway, what do you think? Can a tailor fix these problems? Or should I just return it completely


Here are some pics:

It's normal for the bottom button to be visible. Your pictures suck, so it's hard to tell much else. Sleeves are long for sure. The top button isn't really pulling.

Based on the pictures, the jacket fits well. The sleeve is not too short, the length is good. But it's hard to tell the length of the jacket with the shorts you are wearing.

Post better pictures please.

The sleeves are too long based on the majority of his pictures.

You may want to shave the backs of your hands.
