Cop or not?

How can you tell if the waist can be let out?

You have to look at the inside seams and see how much extra fabric is there But this needs the sleeves shortened as well so it’s probably not worth it You can probably find a better starting point

Sleeves too long and 3 button blazers are largely out of fashion so that’s a miss from me too

Maybe the first one could be salvaged?

It’s long in the body and sleeves and needs to be let out a good amount, unless there’s some external forces at work I wouldn’t bother There are infinite suits and sportcoats in the world

Alright, thanks for the advice, I’ll skip on this one. Kinda sucks knowing it’s loro piana but fit is king

Loro piana isn’t that hard to come across

The pinstripe fabric of these are also not great as odd jackets. You'd want to wear them as full suits

Pinstripes are hard to wear as sport coats, at least in the US. Generally wouldn't recommend it unless you have a specific vision ...
