Cool, so through this i was able to access the outlet, however would it still allow us to ship to the U.S? Or am I just torturing myself by looking at things i want and can't have..

Hi,

Nice but maybe it looks a bit tight on the waist (classic x pattern), which appears to be causing some bowing of the lapels. Also, I would pick a more formal shoe for an interview and a tie with more color contrast.

what do you mean by (classic x pattern)?
as for the bowing, do you think that could be because i had my hands in my pockets and in your opinion, is the bowing im experiencing an extreme case or minor? i just tried on my jacket and while resting there is about 1 cm gap between lapel and my chest (buttoned up)

Hi,

The x patterned crease centered on the button typically means the jacket is too tight. You want perhaps a very slight crease if you want a very slim fit but not too much. Ask someone to let the jacket out on the waist a bit. Of course you could post a better pic in a neutral position so people can evaluate the fit better.

Has anyone seen this Havana Grey Check wool alpaca suit in real life? http://us.suitsupply.com/en_US/suit...7&cgid=Suits&gclid=CLCdwuGCqsMCFYtr7AodkWAA5g

If so, thoughts? Too "loud"? Tasteful?

CP, my 2 cents is that it is too loud, but then again I almost exclusively wear solid suits in blue or gray.
the fabric looks a little to much like something they would have upolstered sofas with in the sixties



Excellent reply!!!!' Thanks.

i think it looks AWESOME. The ONLY thing I dont like about it are the patch pockets... Id prefer flaps. But yea, if you can pull off that casual/not super formal look like the model does, then it would look great. (Although I'd wear brown shoes rather than black, personally not a fan of black shoes)

p.s. the suit you took of a photo of in your last post ISN'T this suit right? cuz they look nothing alike...

Just remember that almost everything on the Suitsupply website looks different in real life and in non-studio photos.

Their products usually look better in non-studio photos or real life to me.

In my opinion, that suit wouldn't be too loud for me as a casual suit, but there's no harm in ordering it and trying it out, then returning it if it's not to your liking.

Even if it is too loud as a suit, I'm sure the jacket and trousers would be pretty versatile as separates.
