How do the different fits rank in terms of slimness?

I understand Washington is the slimmest cut, but what comes next?
I think the Napoli is the next slimmest.. but not 100% sure. The Sienna is pretty slim, especially in the shoulders, but it's more expensive.

Has anyone bought/tried on these trousers and has any input on sizing, thigh measurements and so forth? Also, could I hypothetically order 4 different sizes to qualify for free shipping, and then return 3 of them?

I have them. I don't have the measurements right now, but I bought a size 50 (I'm 6'3 185 lbs 32" waist). The waist is a little big but everything else fits great (the fit is very similar to how they fit the model in Mr Engineer's picture above). The fabric is very nice and the legs are unlined as well. I don't know about shipping, but wouldn't you just have to order 2 for free shipping?

I've ordered and returned them, too slim for my liking. (and I'm a pretty skinny dude) Would have had to size up and have the waist taken in.

I have an older pair of SS flannels (Brescia fit) that fits much better and feels nicer quality wise, they were available in the clearance section a while ago, but might be sold out by now.

First time poster here.

I was wondering what type of casual jacket is more slim-fitting; the havana or the copenhagen?
I currently have a havana but even after altering the waist it is still a little bit too wide.

Also:
I live in the Netherlands, does anyone know how i could get a code for the online outlet? i don't have that much time to drive to Roermond.

Thank in advance.

Just been told my SuitSupply MTM is ready to be picked up. Getting it on Sunday, then wearing it for a bit before a "second fitting".

I have both a Havana & a Copenhagen suit - the Copenhagen is definitely more slim fitting.

Went to meet the store here in Mexico, really like some jackets and suits, maybe I'm going to buy a suit next month.

What it's a joke are the tightness of the pants. I tried some 32's and my thighs can fit in them. Haha.

Lol, the problem is your thighs, not the pants! You probably need MTM. SS seems aimed at the slim fit market mostly.

Here are 2 new jackets from Suitsupply. They are both RTW with no alterations made.


Does anyone know what model these coats come from? I'm kind of digging the larger lapels.

I guess a good question then is if anyone knows of a suit model that has a Low low buttoning point, traditional length for the coat, 3.5"+ lapels(bit wider than RLBL), and in a drop 7/as suppressed as the RLBL Anthony? Also, high rise trousers to match. I looked through the website pretty extensively and scoured SF for comparisons to diff companies' cuts but can't find enough information. If you have a link to a helpful thread, I'd greatly appreciate it

Having looked at a few pics from SF users wearin the suits, is the gorge really that high? In the site's pictures, it looks like Standard height, like on the Fitz, and many other good looking suits. The lapel gorge seems to be maybe a centimeter above the shoulder seam, whereas on my RLBL's and other suits, the gorge is slightly lower than shoulder seam or just in line:

I'm afraid that the gorge at that height will become outdated in a few years time.

I saw the La Spalla:
http://us.suitsupply.com/en_US/suit...n1=styleFit&start=3&prefv1=Luxury-La%20Spalla

and like what I can see of it, but I wish it was of the Purple line and thus $500 :/ even if I have to compromise for half-canvas. Does anyone know how accurate the sizing chart in general? How does the sleeve length translate into sleeve length as we are familiar with it in the B&S forum/ebay? The London Cut has a 35" trouser waist in the 42L; this means drop 7 no? If so, how come the coat waist is a tad roomier than that of the La Spalla which has a Drop 6?
