Well, the sleeve and the trouser length bothers me - even now the buttons are quite far from the edge of the sleeve, letting it out will require moving of the buttons. And I am not sure if letting out the fabric of the trousers will provide the proper length. Seems like a lot of alteration altogether. If I could be relieved from these concerns, I would buy it :)


Hmm moving the buttons on the sleeves is pretty standard for sleeve alterations, a tailor shouldn't charge any extra for that, especially since these are non-functional buttons. As for the trousers, it is indeed 2" of extra fabric, just remeasured to check (that being said, I don't know how long your legs are :))

Very tempting for me too. Hesitant about trouser length and peak lapels, otherwise would definitely buy.

Also wanted to check if this suit is slim fitting (like the Leader model) or is it more traditional? Thanks.

Hmm maybe my legs are unusually short for my body, but I believe a 29-30" inseam is standard for somebody who wears a size 36s? There should be more than enough fabric for that... Sorry but I'm not familiar with the different Corneliani models.

letting out trouser is super easy, you just have to be sure about the length, as long as the button hole is not working on the sleeve, don't see a big deal moving them

Peak lapels aren't a bad thing at all. They go particularly well with navy imo.

Heck, check out Zegna's Torino model to see how great peak lapels can look.

Good luck with the sale; if it was a 38R/40R I would have kopped it already.
