Jacket by SuitSupply
Shirt by TM Lewin
Tie by BB
Trousers by J. Crew

How does this SC fit? I just bought it from SuitSupply. Its the new fall line's copenhagen jacket.

Two more pics of the jacket:

TKE - I think you may have arms that are slightly longer than average, which is causing a lot of the "it's too short" comments. Many people are used to seeing a jacket end mid thumb - which is generally ok for people with average length arms. Longer arms make the gap between thumb and jacket hem larger and out oft he range people are used to seeing. To my eye it looks fine, especially considering it is a casual sport coat.

Congrats on really improving your wardrobe and style sense over the past couple of months. You've made huge strides.

Thanks for the feedback guys. gdl's response is what I figured would be in line with the more senior members. You've further justified the need to go get some SCs made

Constructively, I meant to say it might be better if your jacket had patch pockets. The jacket's length looks good in the picture, however I would have to see the whole assemble to be 100% sure. The fit is nice and I love the lapel!

Thanks! I love the jacket as a suit jacket, but like you said, it doesn't work as is as a SC.

Thanks for the comment. I don't think I could live without light grey suits. I find them to be more fun to wear than dark colors and my career doesn't really call for conservative colors except for interviews. I am actually hoping to have a light grey flannel made up me for in the winter if my MTM attempt for a navy suit works out in the fall. A white shirt would have been a good call as well, thanks!

Eye-catching tie Citan. Do you also own a Caruso jacket? The cut fits you beautifully, accentuating your silhouette.

Good morning, sorry for meh mirror pic but it shows my proportions much better than the poorly angled timer cell phone pics. Been under the weather the last few days so was nice to dress in something other than shorts and a t-shirt. Viva Italia in the Olympics!

Butler and Victor are two posters who seemingly have a giant mansion full of bespoke stuff.

I only own this suit though I would like another. Debating if I should go up a size though. This jacket could be let out in the back along the lower back above the vents, it pulls a little there and leads it to look a little tight. Blame ******. Thanks for the comment!

Really? It looks like pool table felt. Frankly, that would be pretty cool.

Lets pretend it is raw felt that I had made up bespoke.

Naw seriously it is raw silk but likely not the best quality hence the felty appearance :embar:

Quote: AFAIK pool table felt is worsted wool and nylon. Not much different in texture from the worsted wool flannel that is used for some ties.

Someone needs to commision a pool table felt suit/SC/overcoat. I think Butler could pull it off.
