Hey all, I'm trying to move away from slim fit suits and more towards a more classic tailoring silhouette. Since I'm unfamiliar with how this should look and feel on me though, I've started with some thrifted jackets. I think the fit on these is decent, but I want some opinions.

How do you think these look as is? Are there any issues that you think a tailor can address? Any untailorable issues?

Both look good. I would lengthen the sleeves for the 1st one (the shirt sleeves seem too short there) and shorten the sleeves for the 2nd one so that the shirt cuffs would be visible.
P.S. I wish more users asking about jacket fit would use videos/gifs like these. It really shows all the angles and makes analysis much easier :)

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
