[TheSmall]

You mean too big in the chest? Or that the armholes are bigger? The chest is better in the bigger size. It seems like your lapels are bowing a bit in the smaller size, and it looks like it's a bit too small in the waist as well, causing the button to pull.

How does the smaller suit feel? It shouldn't be skin tight or feel restrictive. Ultimately, it's up to you, as it's always hard to tell the exact fit from a couple of pictures. It's better to have a suit that's slightly too big than to have one that's slightly too small though.

Thank you, I really appreciate your input!

The feel is alright. I mean it is a tad tight, nothing big but still noticeable. And I do believe that the shoulder fit was quite spot on in the previous suit. Just the chest was a bit loose which is, as you said, quite easily fixable by a decent tailor. I kind of was surprised by the 48 being big actually since I previously considered myself to be a 48/50 guy, not a 46/48 guy (I'm 183 cm 75 kgs for reference).

Now I recently had a job done (this Monday actually) on a blazer which I had bought on eBay and now know that this is a job that can easily be done. Did not have the experience of altering suits/suit jackets before

. And I do agree with you that it is better to have a slightly too big suit jacket than opposite, since it's more likely that I'll gain weight than lose with my current build

.

Regarding the armholes, I want to believe that the armholes on this one are smaller but quite honestly, I don't remember it at this point since it took some extra time for SS to dispatch this suit and so on.

According to the SS size advisor, I'm a 38R. I find this odd as I have always worn a 40R, or even 41R. Is it possible SS vanity sizes a bit?

I certainly did, but in my experience, I have never, ever fit into a 38. Hence some surprise. Not a big deal though.

I don't know about the disclaimer but Im a 36 and I tried a 36 (Copenhagen) and it fit like a 34.

 

[00Schneider]

it is known that the size advisor can be completely ignored. just order two or three sizes and find out yourself.

every brand fits differently.

I received my first Suit Supply shirt today. I went with the extra slim fit in a 16.5L. What a great shirt. Truly pleased with the fit, and the presentation/packaging was a pleasant surprise. It is a true slim fit shirt, and makes BB extra slim fit feel like a garbage bag on me.

Thanks guy! First one it will be, I guess! I'll post pictures when I receive it!

Can you please facilitate me the link of the first one please? I'm looking for something like that, very lightweight for summer. Thanks!

I'm heading to Roermond next week (Thursday). Anyone want me to keep an eye out for some specific cuts/sizes at the SS outlet?

Havana 46R and Soho 44R. Thanks!

Would you chaps recommend a suitsupply suit from London? Will it be the same quality as the NYC ones?
Good use of several hundred dollars? My other option currently is a hugo boss one, but I've been told they're poor quality so I'm looking around!

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Good decision

Thank you for the response.

One of the things which put me off the hugo boss suit was that I couldn't buy additional matching trousers for the suit which I liked & was in the sale. In my experience trousers always go way before jackets.. but my experience is limited to cheap/poor qualitysuits.

I notice suitsupply don't sell the trousers seperately either. Will this be a problem, or will the trousers simply last as long as the jacket?

Even the concept of the two being sold separately is antithetical to quality menswear
