@fieldofdreams looks great mate! I love the Hudson cut. That tie is from SuSu as well? I hate that I like their ties but they are too slim -at least for my frame.
It looks like it would be ease to use that suit as separates, doesn't it?

My new Dallas Fit coat arrived today - I'm very pleased. It's basically just a lengthened Washington, but with completely unpadded shoulders and four button cuffs rather than five. The 2.5 button arrangement is a little unique for an topcoat, but I rather like how it rolls over. As it's based on the Washington, I ordered this in the same size I'd take that in and it fits great - 46R. I'm usually a 44L for reference. The fabric is absolutely gorgeous. It's a mix of wool, mohair, cashmere and silk (not much else they could have included to be honest!) but it feels remarkably hardy. I don't know why I expected it to be much more delicate, but it's medium weight and feels strong. It's a little darker than the photos online indicate. I realise the angle of the picture is slightly skewed downwards, but the length is also not a problem either; it falls above knee but it's definitely not super short like the website pictures make all the coats out to be. I'm 6'3 for reference. If only there wasn't a heatwave on at the moment...looks like I'll have to wait a little while to wear this!
Can you compare the fit of this 46R Dallas coat with the 44L Bleecker you posted last time? Or the Vicenza fit if you've tried that on, Thank you!

44L definitely fits slimmer, and I had to have it let out slightly in the body for this reason. Length wise, there's no real difference between the two other than in the sleeves - both fit well and go over my jacket sleeves (as they should on a coat) but the 44L is a smidgeon too long. In hindsight, I would probably just order a 46 in all outerwear fits going forward.

I can't comment on the Vicenza fit though, sorry!

Shifted a good few of my old suits and decided to use the extra cash and wardrobe space on something I really wanted, so I ordered myself a new Washington Half suit in a Fall Winter fabric:

I wanted the Havana suit but it sold out in my size before I had a chance to purchase it. Great looking houndstooth pattern.

I ordered this suit last year and although I returned it because it erred on being too warm for where I live I loved it. The fabric is great and the pattern is subtle enough to look plain at a distance without being boring. I'm also a fan of the Washington half.

Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum and I have a few questions concerning Suitsupply's fit. There are currently no stores in my area and the closest one is several hundred miles away so I've decided to go ahead with their "Try at Home" service. So before I officially pull the trigger, how exactly do the majority of their suits fit?

Couple details about my build/fit preference...

- I'm 24 so I prefer a fashion forward slim fit.

- I'm relatively slim with a somewhat athletic build.

I think I've narrowed down their collections to the Napoli, Lazio, and the Washington (I like peaked lapels). So based on what people have experienced with them, how do their suits fit? Will I find them to be baggy in the pants? Nothing more that I hate than baggy suit pants. I currently have a couple of old Joseph A. Bank suits and the trousers are so saggy especially in the butt/back of the thigh. They don't "hug" my legs at all. Will SS's style/fit hug my frame for the most part? Thanks for reading/responding.

Here's some examples of what I'm looking for in terms of fit...
