Hi all,
Generally I wear 36 suit (my actual chest circumference is 36 inches) or skinny 38 (because of my slight muscular arms and chest) and at the moment I am attracted to one Oxxford's suit (Consul model?) in size 38.
I never had Oxxford before and I am very keen to have one since I found many good things on it.
The measurements written, in my view, are too small for a 38 (Armpit is 19.5 inches; Shoulder is 17 inches while the trousers are 30 inches waist).
Following that, I did my research on Oxxford' and found that normally it cuts 3 inches bigger in the chest (eg armpit 20.5 inches or 41 inches chest for a tag 38 suit) but also depending on the model.
My understanding from the research is that newer models are trimmer cut with 7 inches drop.
Manhattan, as the classic model, is cut 4 inches bigger in the chest, while Mason and Gibbons are trimmer, between 2-3 inches space in the chest with high armhole.
Based on your experience with Oxxford, would this suit fits me? (of course, I do not shy away from simple alteration as waist suppression and adjusting sleeve and trousers length).
Any experience with this so called Consul model?
Is Oxxford Suit designed for athletic build?
Thank you in advance. Your advises are greatly appreciated.
