Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. The suit was in fact his fathers'. He grew up in the Great Depression era and his family didn't have much money, so he used his dad's suit for the picture. Actually the picture I used was a 2x3 inch black and white photograph, which made it more difficult to paint. I do think that the neck is too long, now that I compare the painting to the photo. I will adapt the suggestions here to complete the portrait and to make it stronger. Again, many thanks.
