Has anyone seen this suit in their local store in a 44 and would be willing to proxy to Melbourne?

I stopped to think about it for five minutes and the last one sold out from under me

My first suit from SS arrived last week, but I'm still undecided whether I want to keep it or not. It's a plain blue in the Napoli cut (size 46), pretty much exactly what I'm after, a cheap blue beater suit. The problem is that even if I managed to avoid the bigger fit problems, I just don't think it looks that flattering on me. How much work do you think need to be done? Sleeves and pants are obvious, but anything else?

Or should I just try a more flattering cut?

Rather crappy pics below.

The two biggest problems I see are:

1. The pants seems to be bunching up quite a bit at the bottom and the crotch and waist look too low. Pulling the pants up and securing with a belt might improve things substantially. However, you'll have to determine if the waist fits well.

2. Some strange wrinkling on the left arm. You don't happen to be wearing one of those monstrously large modern watches, are you?

Has anyone ever come across an article that discusses Suit Supply's revenue or number of suits sold? I am curious as I have no idea how big they are.

Haha, yes, Methuselah has awoken, at least temporarily.

Anything scandalous happened here in the last four years or so?

I think I will give SuSu another whirl since a few round of Yoox roulette yielded zero results in purchasing a simple blue odd jacket (I rarely wear suits @ work).

I ordered a Havana before in 38L thinking that it would fit small after reading this thread, and that the specific cut was more fitted.

The jacket ended up 1 size too big it seems and long (30"+ BOC) and I am 5'9".

Should I just order a 36 and 38 R this time and see which fit me best?

I will stick with the Havana as what I can tell it seems to be a good starting odd jacket to wear with trousers.

The first order was this jacket: http://us.suitsupply.com/en_US/jack...start=9&cgid=Jackets&prefn1=color&prefv1=Blue It has a lot more character in person, almost like birdseye fabric / weave and a more robust fabric.

In lieu of the Havana, what else is generally well received?

And by chance are all the sleeves now non-working cuffs? I think working button sleeves was one of my biggest hesitation in purchasing SuSu as I would need to have sleeves altered.

That is actually a very important factor with the susu jackets, find the right sleeve length and go for that size, as they are still working cuffs. I'm a 38L which is fine for me, close to perfect fit without any alterations.

They must move a serious volume of units, given their rapid expansion. Never read any actual figures. They would be interesting though.

1. Yeah, I have very stubby legs, so finding anything that fits OTR is a nightmare. The waist is a bit loose but overall a good fit. I'm worried that the pants for the 44R would be too tight.

2. Nah, hate those things. Not sure I'm wearing a watch at all in the pic.

Havana Plain Blue in 42L (102). I already have a Havana in 102 (posted on page 474) but the fit between the two feels different, there really is variation between pieces with SS.

I like the fabric, color and the look in general, except for the sleeves which I believe are two short. Before I decide to go for extending the sleeves, I wanted to get your opinion on the general fit. Also, if I were to extend the sleeves, by how much according to you? Is it a complex/costly procedure?

Thanks a lot, as usual
