Thats the same suit as on the first page? Got some weird issues with the arm and shoulder... The suit does not look comfortable to be in.

Jacket is still way off. The right move would have been to cut a new jacket rather than have 2 tailors (who I presume are not suit makers) try to fix it. The pants look good from the front, but are too tight in the back. I know you like slim suits, but suit pants should not be like tights. But the hair looks good.

Have you tried RL black label? That may be your cut based on your preferences.

I took it to my personal tailor to get it more to my taste. This is what it looks like now:

It fits a lot slimmer now (I prefer slim fitting suits), and actually has shape to it.

A big improvement from the original garment (see page 1 of this thread to see the original fit).

I'm a LOT happier with it now

What do y'all think?

That's MUCH better. The shoulders are a little wide, but it still fits better than most suits that I see men wearing.

Myke, I think it looks about 95.5% there. Maybe too "edgy" for me but it really looks good on you. I would increase the circumference around the second button by another 2-3 cm for a better drape, allowing more fabric to hug the buttocks. I don't think I'd mess with the other measurements. You look better with long hair though.
