He's right make sure all your shirts are the perfect length, so that your not altering your jacket so much. Remember there is only 3/4 of an inch to be shorten or lengthen in our sleeves from the wrist.I won't lengthen your jacket sleeves, they are just fine. You'r shirt sleeves are a bit to long, I would shorten them a bit.
Plus he's wearing jeans lol, and you can't let out a thigh or knee.. ever. But i do agree the 48 looks best your not a 50 bro.48 looks best.
Both trousers seem to be excessively tight around the inner knees, perhaps there is room to let some fabric out?
EDIT: D'oh, just realised you were talking about the jacket, nevermind!
The one just off Jermyn St?? I've been to about 10 SS stores around the world, and no store quite embodies shite service like that London one. Typically aloof middle-England wankers. You work in Suit Supply dude, your shirts are 40 quid, you're not Agnelli.
That is disappointing. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of linen trousers?
What about viscose? I've always thought Viscose was more breathable, but not as strong as, polyester.What did you expect instead? Silk runs hot (and more expensive), cotton is not really used as lining (think it would run hot ans not be good lining), some use bemberg (a cellulose composite) which is arguably better than poly. Don't think half lined poly will add much heat.

I've worn my fully linen Havana for an outdoor wedding when it was 90 degrees out. No problems with overheating and certainly no issues with the trouser lining.
I think bemberg and viscose are similar fibres (I'm sure somebody else could explain that better), and yeah, I would have expected them to use bemberg if it is known to breath better and presumably feel cooler in the season when linen trousers would normally be used.
According to the inner-pocket tag the lining of the jacket is 77% cotton, 22% modal (another type of cellulose fibre) and 1% polyester. I assume this refers to the non-shiny/non-slippery almost see-through thin fabric which lines the inside of the body of the jacket. The jacket arms, on the other hand, are lined with a shiny fabric that looks and feels identical to the presumed polyester half-lining fabric in the trousers. Or could the percentages on the tag refer to the average fibre content of two different fabrics used in lining the jacket?
As I mentioned above, the trouser pockets are clearly not of the same fabric as the half-lining in the leg (and they feel like either cotton or possibly cotton with some minor synthetic admixture), but the tag in the trouser mentions nothing about this.
There have been other cases discussed in this thread where SuitSupply haven't declared the exact fabric content on the website. In this case, I wonder if even the tags inside the garments tell the whole story.
About to order my first SS suit, but the measurements seem larger than what I'm used to, especially shoulders and chest. Should I just disregard their measurements and go with my usual size?
I guess with free returns I can just get two sizes...
