It's very difficult commenting from a photograph because so many distortions creep in. The way you stand, the lighting, the lens, and way the picture are taken can all conspire to produce apparent faults where there actually are none. In addition a new suit needs time to settle to your body and that may change apparent flaws. That said, on with the show...

The main thing that strikes me is the front quarters and here I don't know what effect your tailor was after and how he wanted the quarters to look. It seems to me that they cross so you might have a balance problem although the waist is pretty clean. The chest looks clean although it looks like there is a slight ripple under the righthand lapel just below your collarbone. Both of these points could be caused by photographic distortions though so have a look in a mirror yourself.

There is a pull at the top button. That could either be because the suit needs to settle, the jacket is to tight, or the balance again. Try unbuttoning your jacket and seeing how it behaves (does it swing apart or cross). The collar and lapels are sitting nicely and I wouldn't like to comment on the sleeves without a side view other than to say that the righthand sleeve seems to be a bit shorter than the left.

Stylistically (this is the bit you should disregard...) I would like the button a bit lower and a more waist suppression but that is all personal taste and a lot of people would disagree.

Bear in mind I am not a tailor and so, like most people, my statements may well be completely wrong. Talk to your tailor, he should be happy to explain things to you. You never get a good review on message boards because everyone picks at the faults they (rightly or wrongly) perceive.

zippers are very nouveau riche.
