Greetings fellow style enthusiasts,
I recently purchased a Kiton suit at a crazy good price but I'm questioning if the fit is correct. I tend to be a 42R very consistently across all brands and most of my jackets are 18-18.5" in shoulder width.
The Kiton I purchased is a 42R but has a 19" shoulder width, which surprised me when I read it but I figured I would see how it fit. My wife thinks it's a little too big. I think it's probably right on that line (no pun intended) and I love the material/pattern, but I also know shoulder alterations are somewhere between super difficult to an outright no, so I don't really want to bark up that tree.
I feel like there's a little bit of extra around the top of the shoulder and the seam feels like it sits just a hair past the end of my shoulder.
I attached pictures but unfortunately was left to my own devices taking selfies which does alter my arm placement a bit. If the pictures aren't good enough I can take more.
EDIT: also am I just a dumb dumb and these are roped shoulders? Is that why they seem a little higher at the ends?
Thanks in advance!
