I got a cotton tan Napoli from their Roarmond outlet for 99€. Wear that in the kind of occasions that you desriced. They don't seem to carry it anymore, though.

Looking for a bit of advice... I'm going to purchase 2 x suitsupply suits over the next few months.

One suit will be a plain navy napoli (probably) that I intend to wear at my own wedding. The second suit I plan on wearing as a guest at two different weddings in the summer, and also for other social events etc throughout the year.

I don't need to wear suits for work so I'm not really looking for a charcoal suit. Would appreciate some advice on what would be a good, versatile "second" suit.

SS doesn't carry hopsack-like material jackets right? Looking for a navy jacket with some texture for S/S


There is a navy Havana blazer that I own. It is not a flat navy like a suit fabric, but it is pretty close and I would not call it textured. I don't think they have hopsack. On the website you can usually zoom on the fabric to at least see if there is a semblance of texture. Also, some of the F/W fabrics might be fuzzy, if that helps.

My first SS jacket. It is a bit shorter than to what I am used to but I don't think it looks bad. They don't send long jakcets to here. I will get Soho's from the website for the next one. But I really like the fabric and I wanted a DB for a long time.

Your thoughts?

Looks great to me. I've thinking about a SoHo for a while but have been worried the lapels are too wide based on some of the shots I've seen on here. Yours look fairly conservative though. Would you mind providing the size and BOC length of your jacket?

I think this fits you nicely. More modern fits (cropped and whatnot) are generally not my taste but I think this works very well for you.

Looks like the sides could be taken in a little, no? Almost appears to go straight down in a bit of a boxy look.

Let me take that measurement and I get back at you. I usually try to get something from 31.5" to 32". According to the site this is 30.7" but let me check.

Yup. I will check with the tailor where could the take in be more beneficial.

I like it, but it should probably be nipped in at the waist like the others said, as well as shortening the sleeves a touch.

It is certainly long enough. No problem with that.
