Peaked-Lapel Tux Opinion, Please

Here's the tux in action. The fit feels perfect (though the photo would look better if I wasn't standing funny), the sleeve length is just right, but to my eyes, the jacket looks a bit short. Is it supposed to be cut that length or is it just that I have monkey arms?

Looks like the length is spot on. On men of average proportions, the jacket length would be about the same as the trouser inseam measurement, and according to my trusty ruler, it is, in this case.

The satin breast pocket is a bit distracting, but otherwise, what a sharp look for 7 bucks!

I wish I had that kind of luck with finding things that fit.

Thanks for the votes of confidence on the tux. Alas, with the cost of having the trousers tailored, I'm now into it for almost 20 bucks...

Spendthrift! [bad]

6-buttons may have been popular on lounge suits for over half a century but they did not appear on dinner jackets until the '80s.

This looks like a DJ.
