By balance being a little off I meant the distance from the pockets to the jacket's hem, I actually prefer the lower buttoning stance too!

Hi MrTopCat,

The pocket distance will only bother those looking for it. If the suit didn't have the extra ticket pocket, it would be less noticeable. Keep this in mind the next time around as the horizontal flap pockets accentuate this kind of alteration. Does the jacket still cover your backside?

Again, you are dressing for yourself, so make sure you love it. It sounds like you have a very small reservation about the new jacket balance and by classical tailoring standards you are correct. Try to forget about this and enjoy the suit, but if it nags at you in the back of your mind you might want to lengthen it by 1/4-1/2 inch. If you can be comfortable and let it go, then wear it with confidence and enjoy it.


Kind Regards,

It doesn't bother me that much actually, I just wanted some objective feedback (Thank you all for that!).

The jacket still covers my backside with an excess of about 1/2 inch or so, which is just the way I prefer it.

Was looking at a Washington cut suit online, but my size is sold out. Anyone have luck in ordering from a brick and mortar over the phone?

Need some sizing help. I wear 42R / 52 European in all cuts, Lazio, Sienna, London, Havana. But I just tried a 42R in Washington and it was simply too tight. Not just the chest, but also arms. Usually a 42R requires no alterations for me, other than the pants.

So I sized up to 44R and while it looks good overall, I'm concerned that the shoulders might be too big. I took some photos and I was wondering if you can provide some feedback.

Thanks.

The arms still are a little bit tight?
The shoulders make you look more muscular.

Haven't found much info on the York while browsing the thread. How do the York trousers compare to the Sienna trousers? The Sienna are the only trousers cut widely enough for me (38L) to not fit like leggings from what I've tried so far.

The arms don't feel tight at all. But not sure about the shoulders

Hey SF guys,
I'm looking into getting a SuitSupply suit (right now it's between them and IndoChino, I know. That's a different issue), and I had a couple questions about measurements that I can't find on the website.

The trousers come unfinished, correct? What is the inseam on those? My measurements point me towards a 38L (which has a chest measurement of 42. Go figure). There is a store here in Philly, so I'll go check them out, and i'll definitely need to have it altered, hopefully it's close enough that we can make it work, otherwise I'll have to go to MTM of some sort.

To give you the idea of my difficulty, I'm 6'6" 190lbs, with a 31" waist, 36" inseam, 41" chest, and, at least by my last measurement (which I would like to get redone) 20" shoulders. Finding things that can even be altered to fit me is difficult.

I've found 37 inches on the inseam to be pretty standard for unhemmed pants, so you should be good as long as you don't want cuffs. Regardless of how slim you are, I'd have a hard time believing the shoulders of a 6'6 man would fit into a size 38. I'm 5'11 with fairly narrow shoulders, and I can't fit a 38. Also, your chest measurement of 41 inches means the chest of the 38 will only leave you an inch to spare; that's pretty tight. Jacket length will likely be your biggest problem. You should definitely go get fitted in store.

The trousers do come finished already.

Suitsupply has a pretty awesome MTM-program, better use them over IndoChino-Crap.

That's about what I thought, and that's good news for the length. As to the small size, I'm really skinny and very short waisted (do men use that term?), so I'm not worried about jacket length. I tend to have the problem of anything labelled as "Long" being too short in the arms, but too long in the torso. But beside that, the website suggestion for the 38L seemed a little suspect to me. That's the nice thing about having a storefront nearby, I get to actually go check this stuff out.

Yeah, but I'm a broke singer just out of music school. SuitSupply blue line RTW, and IndoChino Essentials are pushing my budget as far as it can go.

If you call one store they will be able to look at the inventory of every store in the country.

The shoulder measurement of a 38 Napoli is about 18".

Those size advisors are crap. That thing put me in a 44 one time and I am a 38. Just head to the store and give yourself an hour to try stuff on.

Thanks.

Is the left shoulder pad overhanging your shoulder? Looks like it might be a smidge.

FWIW, (it's been years since I had purchased from Indochino) having just purchased a blue line suit, SuitSupply was far and away superior in value for what your paying, even when taking cost of alterations into account. The quality of fabric and cut is way better such that I wouldn't bother with Indochino.

That is the impression I have gotten. The question is whether the RTW suit can be altered effectively to fit my bizarre frame. If it can, SuitSupply all the way. If not, I have to look for other options. At the moment my go to suit was a miracle thrift store find, bespoke from some tailor in Hong Kong for a gentleman apparently built just like me, but I'd like a new suit to throw into the rotation for auditions and events.
