That is one of my few gripes with suitsupply: at 6'0 there is not enough material for cuffs in my size...Looks great CP


Ditto for me. I guess it is because turnups/cuffs are worn less in Europe.D


I got two more Suit Supply shirts in the mail today. I already had two of the $79 ones and they are very premium. The fabric is nice and thick. I have one of the $129 Cottonificio Albini sport shirts that I really like. Today I got one of the $99 Turkish Soktas shirts, it was very nice. But I also got a $129 Cottonificio Albini pink dress shirt and it is shockingly thin. When I put it on, it basically becomes completely transparent. I'm afraid I'll rip it if I actually wore it. It is the first thing from suitsupply i didn't like. I plan to send it back.

I usually associate high end dress shirts with nice thick fabric. Is it normal for a shirt like this to be so thin. It is literally the thinnest dress shirt I have ever felt.


Stacking extra dollar bills on the price does not mean extra fabric is stacked on the shirt. A $39 oxford from Kohl's will be thicker than a $400 poplin from Gucci. Snark aside, are they the same type of fabric? Poplin is thinner than pinpoint for example.

Thank you, Steffen. I was not even aware that there was an online outlet. Thought it was part of their policy to not discount anything online and just let people come to their physical outlets in the Netherlands. Makes sense to avoid the typical sales-craze and people waiting for the sales to buy anything. Interesting thing about this online outlet. It might be irrelevant now but how was it done - could you see the products on sale/clearance only on the Dutch website?

Cheers.

Yes, you could only see the outlet items on the dutch website. Plus you needed a code.. They did the same thing in the US. A lot of people from SF went on wild buying sprees :)

This is actually a herringbone weave. It is thinner than any poplin shirt I've ever owned. When I put this shirt on, I felt like I was going to rip in. Then I looked in the mirror and it was totally transparent.

All my other suitsupply shirts are very thick feeling, very soft, luxurious fabric. They hold their shape really well. Drape perfectly. Easy to get the wrinkles out. The curved cutaway collar is hands done the nicest collars any any shirts I've ever owned. They come out of the washing machine still looking perfect with their original shape. The fabrics are similar to the premium stuff Banana Republic sells, only way better fitting, (Even BR's new "slim fit" are baggy as hell).

I know I might sound like a broken record, but Suitsupplys shirts are nowhere near of the same quality as their suits and outerwear.

and funny enough, their one of the few shirt makers that make the arm length long enough for my monkey arms and a collar with wide/long enough points at an affordable price point RTW wise. You know of any out there that offers both those situations around the same price point steffenbp and I will be eternally thankful!

Steffen, and why do you see them as inferior? I believe their Suit Up line of shirts (EUR 99) uses Thomas Mason fabrics and has MOP buttons sewn in with a crow's foot stitch. Is it the stitch density that is insufficient? There's no single-needle stitching? What features are you looking for that SuitSupply does not offer in their shirts? I never bought their shirt but was considering ordering from their website since they seem to be fair-priced considering the fabrics they use.

I think i saw that suit in the ny soho store the other day, it seemed identical to the grey lazio with a red windowpane from this fall, and was right next to it on the rack, but i remember that that suit (red windowpane) had 20 or 40% polyamide. A lot of whats in stores right now is not on the website (apparently once a suit is shipped out to stores and they have none left in their warehouse they take it off line, but you can still purchase or order it from a store).
