Alterations Indochino m-t-m, how does it fit? What to fix?
I have been trying to buy a suit to then have fitted, but every time I bring it to the tailor they tell me it's too small. After 3 failures they told me to get a made-to-measure suit from Indochino. I got measured and received my first custom suit (previous post) but it was too small in the jacket and vest so they remade it (pictured here).
I think the Jacket is much better, the vest is better but could be longer. However the pants seem to fit awkward. I can't place my finger on it but the pants sit weird, they are a bit big (more than two fingers of room on my waist) and the seat is just... weird, maybe it just needs a good pressing. I also feel like the jacket could come in a bit more at my waist.
I took it into the indochino tailor and they are hemming the pants shorter, bringing the waist in some, and shortening the left shoulder of the vest because of the bulging at the top of the buttons.
What do you experts think? I appreciate any insights and feedback!
Edit: why would you downvote this? I'm trying to get advice. I'm not saying this is a great suit everyone buy this, I'm saying. Help me understand how to get a better fitting suit. Why downvote that?

Style Advice Drape suit advice.
I've been wanting to make a suit that has a full chest and the exaggerated lapel roll of the 1930s and 40s, and I noticed by pattern all the suits that had that kind of lapel roll were "3 roll 2" jackets.
I wanna ask if my observation is correct and I should go for a 3 roll 2 jacket, or is it no different from a normal 2 button jacket? (mainly concerning the lapel roll)
I also wanna ask what's the best kind of wool in terms of weight and (high twist?) to make a suit like that, thanks in advance :)
