HELP --- Need to find a small suit for a small guy.

letoan · Jan 20, 2009

Hi guys,

I'm a short 5'5" 120lbs asian guy, never own a suit in my life and now I need to get one to attend my friend's wedding. I went to almost all the retailers near me and can't find any that fit me. The smallest size I can found was 36s and it's big for me.

I tried eBay and did manage to find some 34s, they're Natazzi, Marchatti, and Giorgio Fiorelli.. I tried to seach around the net for details on these suits and can't seem to find any info on their quality.. Have anyone bought one of these suit before? Please tell me a little bit about it.

I'm in Boston MA, if you know any store around me that carries small size suits, please tell me..

Thanks,
T

Try fourinhand.com. The owner is an affiliate of this site and a respected member. I know he carries 34 and believe they are on sale.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Will 34 and 34s make a big different?

Thanks

Hey, I don't know if they're still in season but I tried on an H&M tuxedo from the winter collection and a 36 fitted more snug than their 36 suit. I'm about 5'7", 130 lb, Asian, so I'm pretty sure you could pull off an H&M tuxedo. They're fairly inexpensive too, which is great considering the fact that it would be your first. Last time I checked, I didn't find any short jackets, but they're not too long to start with anyway. Good luck on your search!

That must be a pain I kind of understand it must be hard finding it and by the way I've tried different sizes from different brands having slightly different sizes. Anyway I hope you find what you're looking for

I'm in a similar boat (I think - 5.5', 130 lbs, 16.5 shoulders, 38 actual chest, 30 actual waist)... What has worked for me is: $300-400 H&M slim fit, they carry 34's (note, the pants are tiny) and Club Monaco 36s $1100? Z-Zegna 36s $? Hugo (red label) $1600 Pal Zileri 38s Good luck

You could always go MTM from Thick As Thieves, providing you have enough time before the wedding of course...

Hi, thank you very much you guys (ladies too, if any

) for all the replies.

Thick as thieves won't work for me since the wedding is in less than 3 weeks and don't want to take any chances.

Quick question. Do Hugo Boss suit come in 34s? I found this place selling this http://www.5starsuits.com/_e/Entire_...ated_Pants.htm don't know if I should go for it? Anyone ordered from them before?

Thanks again for all the help.

I mean no disrepect by suggesting this, but you could also try the boys department at Brooks Brothers. Depending on how its cut, it sounds like you could fit into a boys size 12 to 16.

Thanks voxsartoria. Not a bad idea, I'll give it a shot this coming weekend and see how is it.

Thanks
