Thank you for the advice!

May I enquire on what size you usually wear in Spier's suits?

I used to wear 38r slim but now prefer a little more room/drape so now a 38 contemporary long

Does anyone know if the guabello double breastfed can be buttoned in the middle AND lower button?

 

[whipcord]

I'm pretty much the same size as you and even the medium is a bit tight, esp in the arms. I'm 165lb, 6 ft, muscular build.

Apparently muscular has taken on a whole different meaning these days. 6', 165lb with a 38" chest used to be categorized as lean if not skinny.

There are a bunch of Guabello double-breasted (not breastfed...that would be odd...) items for sale.

All should be described in the standard way re buttons, which is typically 6x2 or 4x2, to use examples. The second number - in each case I have used in my example the number 2 - is the number of working buttons on front of the jacket.

So every DB jacket that says 6x2 or 4x2 means the lower button and the one above it function/work.

Tried the dinner jacket last night. It's good, sleeves are a bit sheer, but the biggest surprise is that I wanted more personality to the shawl lapel. More of a pronounced belly I guess.

Well, I guess it's all relative. My chest is 39.5'' like the OP. I have a 29-30 in waist and am more of an endomorph so am fairly lean...

Thanks for the detailed response! Do you or anyone have photos of the same double breasted jacket in the two different buttoning configurations?

Boxing day code isn't working for me. Has anyone here used it successfully?

I have twice. Box22. Are you sure the items in the cart qualify?

Yes they're all clearly marked for the promotion.

Oh, my apologies, i think my initial question was misunderstood. I meant can the 6x2 guabello be worn with only the bottom button fastened, similar to the attached photo. I was concerned that the lapel would not roll properly unless it was intentionally designed to have either the middle or bottom button fastened. Sorry for the confusion.

They're not supposed to be worn as 6x1 like the one from N in your pic. The lapel is ironed to be worn as 6x2 only from the factory.

Can someone verify for me, if a product was ordered after mid November you have til Jan 15th to return even if you used a coupon code? I got a small in a product and it works but I want to try a medium to compare before returning.

From their phrasing, if you ordered the item on or after November 14th, it should be eligible for holiday returns until Jan 15th.
