WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

[wojt]

Merry Christmas gents!

A few weeks back in Stratford-upon-Avon -city of the one and only William Shakespeare. I only went for a couple of days so I only packed 2 turtle necks(black and aubergine) which I rotated. The jacket is maybe 1-2 inches too short, but this is casual fit(jackets can be shorter in that context iirc?) and rather cheaply thrifted 100% cashmere Kiton, so i can live with falling short of a perfect fit(well after years of trying I stopped caring anyway)!

Happy new year everyone,

I was invited to a winter wedding in December, which took place in an old castle. I wanted to buy a "sincere suit" for the occasion, since I have worn the same sportcoat to all other weddings I ever went to (countryside, casual affairs).

This wedding was the occasion to buy something nice that was missing from my wardrobe, since I only own one suit (Fursac) and I have come to realize that it doesn't fit me (too short, too slim) and it isn't very formal with its Prince of Wales check.

I ended up trying quite a few RTW shops around Hamburg and the best fitting suit I tried was the one from Suit Supply, but I still found the trousers to still be too slim. Then some sale associate at another store directed me towards Anton Meyer, a smaller RTW brand with a few locations accross Germany.

While their style isn't as classic as I would like, it's more conservative than Suit Supply and any high street brand I know. Furthermore, their sizing and cut fit me really well off the rack.

See, I am tall (193 cm) and european brands tend to run too small for me (Fursac, Boggi...), but not here, their 54 ended up being really comfortable and checking all the usual suspects for RTW. The tailor did have to adjust sleeve & leg length and make the neck divot completly disappear, but that's usually expected.

I think the suit is on the affordable side, comparable to Suit Supply, especially since there is a lot more fabric available for alterations in Anton Meyer's suits. The armholes are a bit low for me, but that's usually to be expected.

I came in expecting to buy a SB Grey Flannel suit and ended up buying the "MAX DB Suit" with double pleated pants of matching fabric in charcoal grey.

I have to say that it is an absolute joy to wear, the pants and the jacket are breathable and very comfortable, and I really like the end result.

It's a Double Breasted half-canvas 100% Super 110 Wool from VBC with a 100% Viscose lining (the colours of which I am not enamored with, but I don't see it as much of a problem for a DB Suit).

I got quite a few compliments for the suit, which paired really well with my black Split-toe Aldens, a Shibumi Firenze pocket square and a Navy Grenadine. I felt great and did I mention how comfortable it was ? Turns out a good fit isn't only aesthetically pleasing, it's also just nice to wear.

On the day before the wedding, I wore a second-hand checked sportcoat, a white ocbd, flannel trousers and my favorite rep tie. The hat and loden coat just finished selling the countryside feel.

TL;DR : if you are trying to buy a RTW suit and most brand are too short for you, check out Anton Meyer.

Lovely post, and a testament to more traditional men’s tailoring proportions over the (now in decline) slim/short fit.

Two comments if I may.

Maybe it’s the lighting, but the picture of the suit looks like a grey sport coat with black pants. Do you have a better picture of it?

This is a casual style thread (generally, men’s tailoring worn without a tie) this post might be better suited for either:

Hello and thank you for the comments.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread, I have confused the two, I will be more careful next time.

As for the suit, it is a suit, it’s the same colour and fabric, which is clear « in real life ». However, now that you mention it, it’s true that the phone changed the colours. The room’s lighting wasn’t the best, and I guess the post process did its magic.
