Need a new suit as I'll be moving to a new job in 2015, public sector investigative stuff.

Anyone have any ideas how blue this Napoli is in real life. Is it really that shiny?

If someone has photos, that's be awesome!

Cheers!


I have it. It's an exquisite color -- a medium blue that isn't too bright at all. There isn't any sheen in real life--not sure why it looks like that in the photos. It's definitely work appropriate. I'll try to post pics when I can.

Too bad SuitSupply doesn't have their MTM program in here. This Napoli was amazing! I loved it. Then I tried the trouser… it was massive. They would have to take in to make it a 32 and then a lot of problems come into play. :(

But really liked how it looks.

^ I thought it was common belief that Napoli trousers were rather slim, not massive. Unless of course you need to size up in the jacket to accomodate bigger shoulders or a broader chest.

They are slim IMO, but Betelguese says he has a 12 inch drop

12 inches?! Can't tell if you're exaggerating or being serious lol


It's not that uncommon. People who workout regularly often have 12+ drops (I once had a 48 chest/36 waist but since then stopped working out regularly).

my drop is 10-12 as well. MTM is the only option. I went to their DC store and tried on every cut.

I do have that 12" drop. Thighs were comfortable in the leg size of the 44 but the waist is way way big. But seriously, most of the jackets fit me really nice, I like them a lot. It's urgent that SuitSupply brings his MTM program to Mexico.

Does anyone know the width of the lapels for the Lazio and Napoli? Also, are the Napoli armholes high and the sleeves slim? From what I've read, the Napoli seems like a conservative cut but the modeled pictures all look pretty modern and slim with a nicely tapered trouser.

The lapel width on my 38R Napoli is 3.5." I don't know what your points of comparison are, but the armholes are higher than on my two $200 Combat Gent suits.

Thanks. Is 3.5" considered a good width between modern and conservative? I was thinking more around 3".
