Degge and Skinner (who represent Kinloch Anderson in London), by contrast, get it even right on a showroom dummy:

I'd say the first photo above is just fine. Perhaps it could be a bit more fitted but for the average person who's wait may fluctuate over the life of a jacket this fitting is a reasonable look and still very sharp. Everything tied together looks very nice.
