Hi everyone. This is my first post so forgive me if I don’t format this properly. I’m unsure whether this suit jacket is too short and emphasizes my hips too much. I’m about 5’6-5’7, and this is a J Crew Ludlow cotton-wool blend suit size 36S. Before you cancel me for the Ludlow, this was an emergency purchase, and I’m trying to make the most of it.
Any feedback would be much appreciated. I might consider ordering the jacket again in 36 regular. Pants are still unfinished.
NB: I might try out Spier & Mackay for my next suit, although I’m a bit hesitant due to sizing. Returns from where I live are impractical. There are also a number of old Italian tailors in Caracas that due to the economic crisis in the country, can make a bespoke suit for relatively cheap. However, let’s just say they might not be very up to date on the latest menswear trends. Some of their cuts are very boxy, from the 80s-90s. One in particular was hellbent on ironing out a three-roll-two blazer into a 90’s style 3-button. So it’s a gamble.
