Is my jacket snug or tight?

JACket is too small.

Maybe your next thread should be: 'Just how many threads about the same suit are too many?'

Seriously, dude - take the advice you've already been given by 'old men' who actually know what they are talking about and stop filling the forum with slight variations of the same question to which you already know the answer.

It is what it is my guy. I’m a noob at this and had already bought the suit before making threads. I didn’t want to believe it was too snug but live and learn I guess. Maybe the 42R will fit much better or not.

Shrunken, Unstructured Suits Look Bad

Slim, unstructured suits have been en vogue for almost twenty years now. They came out of the ‘90s, partly as a...

My boss gave me this tuxedo, 42R, what do you think? I feel is ok but the waist could be taken a little

I see a bit of bunching up at the shoulder but that's probably a result of the style of the jacket and whoever made it. I've tried other 42R jackets at stores and they didn't have that. This one is padded.

I still have a bit of gap on the collar but it may be due to the way I'm taking the photo or maybe is my shirt?

If you are serious about training, be advised that this is SuitSupply: it doesn't matter how much room you try to leave at the beginning for your anticipated gainzz because if you so much as look at a weight room, your nice new blue suit will instantly become an odd jacket + a pair of useless blue drinking straws.



You have me confused with OP. I actually am mostly a road warrior now that I switched to a startup but my "uniform" if you will is CT shirts, the mandatory AE rotation, tailoring from whatever Nordstrom carries. When I was in academia, we actually mostly did the gym clothes or t-shirt + jeans thing, because wet bench work is surprisingly blue-collar in nature.

In my road warrior days , marketing scientific software, my traveling clothes came
from Chipp,Norman Hilton and Paul Stuart. Times have changed.

Ah. Well, it's a small company so I wear many hats, but my business card officially says "sales engineer." That is, I'm the technical expert and sort of the missionary for our company's technology, but I'm not a conventional sales/marketing guy in the Herb Tarlek sense. Our customers are also primarily biologists and chemists, not known for their sartorial prowess, so our dress code for anything client-facing is essentially to mimic what the client would wear on their best day. It's a small community and we know who the dandies, slobs, and in-betweeens are.

Not really serious about weight training. I don't have good genetics for muscle building, if anything, I have trouble with it.....I have kinda of a small frame for my 5'11 height. My shoulder width is ok I guess its not really narrow compared to other men. I think my shoulder width is about 18.5-19 inch which is average.

How heavy is heavy? At 5'11" with 19" shoulders and a detrained bodyweight of ~175, your frame isn't that small. Assuming you have no major injury history or chronic health issues, you can probably bench, squat, and deadlift 200+, 300+, and 400+, respectively with a few months of steady training if you wanted. At which point you'll probably be filling out the 44R pretty good.

I’m small compared to men in gyms that’s what I mean lol compared to the non lifting guy, just average I guess.

Thing is I’m far from lean, more like skinny fat. My body fat is probably at 17-18% but hold it evenly so isnt that obvious. I don’t have love handles just a pot belly and some chest fat, so if I were to lean down to 12% bf for example I’d probably weight like 150-155lbs

probably 150 as we all underestimate how much fat we really have
