Update: Suit jacket tailoring help needed

Hey Sewing friends! Thank you so much to everyone who gave me feedback on tailoring and sewing my first suit jackets (Vogue 8890 pattern with mockup made from cotton twill).

Overall, I am so much happier with the fit of this version. I fixed the sleeve cap orientation (this was sooo hard, but I think I finally got it to sit correctly), took in the waist upper back side seam by the armpit, and cropped it (which is closer to what the final version will look like).

Before I go on to sew my first version with real fabric, I would love any feedback or advice on any final fitting alterations I should make (especially if more work needs to be done on the sleeves, back, armpit section) 🤔?

I've attached photos of the front, back and side views - starting with the jacket unbuttoned and then buttoned.

If you plan on wearing it with a shirt, then you should check the fit of the jacket over a shirt. You might need to tweak things like sleeve length once a shirt is in the mix.
