It is a very nice suit, especially if it fits you like you are saying. Can't go wrong with either navy or gray, but if I had to choose, I'd start with a darker gray.

Agreed - I'd go charcoal over navy if it's predominantly for interviews, but either would fit the bill.

I prefer the lighter color of the first one, however, I'm not very fond of the texture. For interviews, or as a first suit, I would probably go with the second one though. Hope that helps a little :)

Just a quick update, I've had loads of PMs about picking stuff up from the outlet for them. The trip is now planned for Monday and posting items out on Tuesday or Wednesday, so there's a bit more time for you to place your proxy requests!


Is this still on? :)

5'9, 180 pounds, 40" chest, 35", pretty broad shoulders, I was very pleased with the fit of the 42R, although I will say the sleeves are slim, and the armholes high. Still, fit was pretty much spot on for me, with only small issues like sleeves an inch too long, and leg opening needed slimming.

Your leg opening needed slimming on a Suit Supply suit? As for fixing the sleeves, the genius of the working cuff buttons is that simple operations like shortening the sleeves may not be able to be done. That is my #1 complaint with SS.

I am a 42R and own a washington cut. I am about 5'10" 190. Fits well in the shoulders. I had to shorten the sleeves a little(shirt sleeve length is about 33.5") and take it the waist.

There are a few interesting things in there that I'd like to try on in person once items arrive in the shops:

I've been thinking about a new, bold-striped winter suit for a while, so this one is probably top of my list of things to try on. I'd swap the buttons for dark grey ones though. I also like this jacket, but only if it's more grey than blue. Depending on the exact nature of the fabric & colour, this could possibly be useful too.
