Like the suit, nice job there. I am not fond of the shirt though, for a custom shirt it does not seem to fit perfectly, the next one will probably be better if you point out what you do and do not like!
Out of curiousity, how many Australian dollars does a custom suit and shirt run?

I have to admit that when I had the shirt made, I wasn't as informed as I am now and did not really know what I liked/disliked, so the next shirt should turn out much better (hopefully!).
The shirt (2x2 100's) was $175 (~US$135) and the suit was $1900 (~US$1460). The material was rather basic though (100% faille wool) due to my financial limitations. I remember the H&S Snowy River/Target cloth ran for about $2750 (~US$2115).
Kind of makes you think about your first suit, huh? Makes you think of that trip to Macy's and that Clairborn suit you bought on sale. you know, the one with four buttons? Do you remember the tie and shirt combination that came together in the box? Remember that? Do you remember how the jacket almost completely covered your hands? I bet you remember that, yes?
Probably didn't even have the creases on the shirt pressed out, from being folded in the plastic cover. You know you're buying a quality shirt when it comes already folded (with 997 pins keeping it closed) and in a nice plastic bag keeping it clean. =)
Although I haven't seen your face, based on your body type I am guessing that you don't have a huge head... In any case, I don't find the collar too loose, just a bit large for my taste...
Hold off the patterns just for now RT! Charcoal is a good bet.
Regarding the shirt, no, you need the darts. You have a problem already in the back with too much fabric, although it could be just the way you tucked it in.
Compared to the front of the shirt you seem to have a bit too much room there. Your arm-holes could be slightly smaller, also, to help offset this.
The collar is a little too big.
BUT, these are all minor criticisms, the shirt looks beautiful.
The shirt... seems a bit blousy at the back and has a lot of tie space (but that last point is personal preference).
