Oh yes I forgot to state that I'm a 52 in most SuSu cuts. (42 USA)

@Coxsackie Nice DB suits!

Most of the models wearing the Madison on the Suitsupply website also have almost all of their breast pocket covered by the lapel too (albeit, slightly less than mine), so I think it's a style that Suitsupply intended rather than not sizing down the lapel. Also my other fits (Washington, Hudson, Soho) have proportionate lapels to size 32.

Does anyone know if the Mercer fit has double side vents? thanks

  2. Unstructured Shoulders
  3. Fitted, Unlined Jacket
  4. Butterfly-shaped Shield Fabric
  5. Patch Pockets
  6. 3-Button Jacket
  7. Functional Buttonholes & Kissing Buttons
  8. Double Side Vents
  9. Shorter Jacket Length
  10. Flat Front Trousers

Also, what is a "Butterfly-shaped Shield Fabric"?

The shoulders look a little off, but it's impossible to tell in these pictures. Try taking a proper picture, at chest height and from a normal distance. Other than that, the buttoning point is awfully high, but you knew that already, and I'd swap the buttons for a darker brown. You could give suitsupply MTM a try for the price of 1,5 suits. That way you can get a suit that fits perfectly, and in a more normal configuration. It might not be feasible for you, but it would be much better. Look at Timo's SuSU MTM suit:

Which style is this suit?

It's made to measure, so it's not something you can buy on the website, unfortunately. Depending on what you're looking for in terms of fit and design, you could probably find something similar. I can't quite see the lapel design on my laptop, but there is a blue Washington on the website that might come close to this look.

Must be the lapel gorge and the breast patch pocket. I agree it looks incredible, maybe one day I'll save up one get one MtM like that one instead of 2 suits.


Love the patch pocket on the breast and the pants without belt loops. This guy has great taste.

Very nice indeed. I'm very fond of high rise trousers without belt loops. (Belts peeking out from under the jacket are one of my pet peeves!) Looks very, very dashing. However, is it just me, or is the crotch and fly area riddled with wrinkles?

Who is this user, Timo? I'd like to see more of his suits, if possible. (Never mind, I found it: http://www.styleforum.net/u/65931/timotune)

Thanks
