Do you guys reckon they will start using AI models in the not too distant future? Frankly, looking at the new offerings I thought a couple of models looked a little AI-ish. I mean, theoretically it should be possible fairly soon with all the recent advancements. 2D and 3D demonstrations of the new suits and jackets shouldn't be too difficult considering the technology is basically here. It would be cheaper to make the computer program do it for you than hiring actual physical models.

Possible joking aside, although I am fairly serious, it does look like they have been using more airbrushing lately possibly not just on models but the actual items to make them look more appealing. I received a jacket recently and it didn't really look like the picture. It was a return fairly quickly... I'm kind of already looking forward to fall/winter merchandise for next season
I anticipate runway shows just using hologram models at some point.

How can they justify the ever-increasing price of the custom made programme when the number of customisation options keeps getting smaller?
On top of the fact that the full canvas option is only 2-layer as opposed to 4-layer, I haven't the faintest idea. Disappointing to see one of the more robust custom made webstores moving this direction.

Ugh, now the custom shirt designer has removed the option for the collar interlining. Time for a strongly worded email to their customer support, this can't go on!

This should be renamed the "whining about SuitSupply" thread.
Truth is SS isn't a compelling option like it was 10 years ago, given their cutting down on offerings, their confusing product lineup, and price raises. Much better options in the market. Main thing they have going for them is accessibility/scale.

I recently received my first double breasted suit from SS which I love. However, upon wearing it I noticed the jacket felt long. I measured it and it’s 30.5 inches in length (40R), and the size guide says it should be 30 inches in length.

Is this worth contacting them over or should I just get accustomed to it? I know some retailers have tolerances +/- .5 inches from what’s on the size guide.

Is there a dedicated B-S-T thread for SuitSupply? I need to unload a few things like this jacket since I wore it maybe 10 times over the last 10 years.

There isn’t one on here that I know of, but there is a BST marketplace on Suitreview that you could try. Not sure if they charge or take a cut to post there though

Suitsupply has gone bonkers
I recently took 3 sport coats and 1 suit to the Suit Supply store in San Jose, CA for alterations. Two of the sport coats are pre-worn, while the other sport coat and suit are brand new (tags and jacket flaps still sewn, purchased in March). Upon arrival, I was informed that any garment requiring alterations should have been dry cleaned within the last 14 days. I've had Suit Supply alterations done at least 5 times before and this requirement was never mentioned to me. I explained to the representative that it was acceptable for the sport coats to be pre-worn, but I requested that at least the brand new suit and sport coat be altered. However, the representative refused and insisted that I should have them dry cleaned as well. I don't understand the reasoning behind requiring brand new suits and sport coats to be dry cleaned and find it quite illogical.
