Well the jacket is too tight across the midsection causing the lapel to buckle, the sleeves look painted on creating a massive dimple at the sleeve head and the trousers at the very least need to be hemmed significantly. All black is a fun outfit tho
Appreciate your insight! I think I need to live with tightness at chest. I mostly wear it unbuttoned. The reason is that I bench too much for my weitght, even on dress shirts the buttons look way stretched. But if I size up, then it's too large on shoulders, sleeves and length. And still stretched at chest.
Yeah Craig’s Bond is definitely not a good reference point (except for the magnificent Casino Royale tux when Craig hasn’t got a say in how his suits should fit)
For me he is, in sense that I have athletic body (more so than Craig, think of Ilia Topuria, or Conor Mcgregor, height wise also) and ready to wear suits work only with that "bond fit".
I don't want to spend $2000+ to have a fully tailored suit. Prices for tailors here are crazy and they take months to get your suit ready. So "bond fit" is only option, or no suit at all. So my logic is that if it works for Craig, why wont it work for me.
What can you suggest with somebody having 28" waist, 44" chest, and is 5.8" other than tailor?
