Is this suit jacket salavagable
Picked up this suit off ebay and and I love the trousers and the material. The shoulders are both wider and way more padded than I anticipated. Question is would removing the pads make it slouchy and workable, or is it beyond saving? If you need more photos let me know

The shoulders are a matter of personal preference. I like the lapels in the low buttoning point. It is definitely too long and overall a bit too big, so you need to have it tailored.
It is not Beyond saving, I don't think.
i honestly really like it as is, but it’s deff tailor able
i like it as is 🙈 shoulders especially
shoulders will likely be more expensive to tailor than the length but also yeah i don’t think it’s cooked
depending on the shape of the shoulder pad/shoulder cap, removing may be more trouble than its worth
imo the slouchy feel may come from styling - pants set a little lower, oversized/unbuttoned shirt, tee or tank instead of button up, dangling belt tail, etc.
this is how much pad we are talking
Just style it with the big slouchy vibes or resell/return. not worth it to ruin the jacket trying to get it to fit more traditionally
